"I'll Be Waiting" is a rock song written by Lenny Kravitz and Craig Ross for Kravitz's eighth studio album, It Is Time for a Love Revolution (2008). It was released as the album's lead single on December 6, 2007 (although "Bring It On" had been previously released as a radio-only single to U.S. rock stations). The iTunes download release date for the song was November 6, 2007.
The song is a power ballad, where Kravitz sings of waiting for someone, heartbroken over a failed relationship, to realize he is the one who really loves her.
"I'll Be Waiting" has been highly successful across Europe; it topped the charts in the Czech Republic and reached the top five in Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Switzerland and the top ten in Germany, Austria, and Slovakia, peaking at number 13 on a composite European Hot 100 Singles. In Germany it was his first top-ten single and his best-selling single, reaching #6. It saw mild success in North America, where it peaked at number 73 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number 45 on the Canadian Hot 100. The single has not charted in Oceania.
21 is the second studio album by English singer Adele. It was released on 24 January 2011 in most of Europe, and on 22 February 2011 in North America. The album was named after the age of the singer during its production. 21 shares the folk and Motown soul influences of her 2008 debut album 19, but was further inspired by the American country and Southern blues music to which she had been exposed during her 2008–09 North American tour An Evening with Adele. Composed in the aftermath of the singer's separation from her partner, the album typifies the near dormant tradition of the confessional singer-songwriter in its exploration of heartbreak, self-examination, and forgiveness.
Adele began writing 21 in April 2009, when still involved in the relationship that subsequently inspired the record. Dissatisfied with once again portraying herself as the musical tragedian of her debut, she had intended to compose a more upbeat and contemporary follow-up. However, studio sessions ended prematurely due to a lack of inspiration. She resumed production immediately after the breakdown of her relationship, channelling her heartbreak and depression into her songs. Adele collaborated with various songwriters and producers, including Columbia Records co-president Rick Rubin, Paul Epworth, Ryan Tedder, Jim Abbiss, and Dan Wilson.
Just just in case you don't know who we be
Just just in case you don't know who we be
It's the crew who represents nicely
State to state no matter what city
Can't you see it's us that's rockin' yo' world
I be, I be, I be coffee, I be, I be, I be bone
Me I run the playin' field
Me I be ownin' the thrown
He be, he be, he be coffee, he be, he be, he be bone
Me I do it nicely
Me I be heir to the thrown
Y'all wanna hear it? Naw y'all don't wanna hear it
You don't want coffdeezy, jump up, get up easy
Purple giant, death defiant, but I creep up on you quite
Me animator, slowly we raisin' the dead
Complicator of clause plans, schemes, scandalous, curious things
How can you hand various things?
Bicarious beings?
What?
Rollin' 'round these hills on count of countless of feels
Of raw deals I'm after the cheapest of thrills
Killin' off a slew of folk watchin' 'em all fall
But really man it's you a choke
Guelish like orathal do my best to hit yo' region
Rollin' deep like we was legion for a season
We will let be leavin'
Karma heazin' steady breathin'
Just in case you don't know who we be
It's the crew who represents nicely
State to state no matter what city
Can't you see it's us that's rockin' yo' world
I be, I be, I be coffee, I be, I be bone, I be peddy dee
(Check it out 'cuz)
He be, he be coffee, he be, he be bone, he be peddy dee
(Bonavilles)
One for the projects, two for the thugs
Three for the king pin sippin' ear drums
Over Damascus where he turned me around
Put a word in ma mouth and a sound
(Get down)
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
Praise God we ain't destructive no more
[Incomprehensible]
Let yo' mind take you to the end of the road
Choose to do right but chose to get blowed
Educate ya' mind to young to know code
Grits and peddy dee be squad like flip mode
Just just in case you don't know who we be
It's the crew who represents nicely
State to state no matter what city
Can't you see it's us that's rockin' yo' world

Me I run the playin' field
Me I be ownin' the thrown
He be, he be, he be coffee, he be, he be, he be bone
Me I do it nicely
Me I be heir to the thrown
I'm the one they call bonifide
City boy countrified
Known for that southern fide
Bring it to you, any, however you want it, I got it
Get it and never escape, give it up slow brah
Checkin' for yo' soul brah
You stumble down the wrong road
Steppin' on the wrong toes
Now we 'bout to get it right
Stitch it up, switch it up
Peddy dee click it up
Nashville show me love
Jacksonville it's ya' boy
Sandalwood put it up
Clearin' out the smoke screen
Step into the unseen
Sober from that sticky green
Wrap it up like I still beem
Scotty what's the situation?
(The fun years of desperation)
Well let 'em know we on location ready for the confrontation
Just just in case you don't know who we be
It's the crew who represents nicely
State to state no matter what city
Can't you see it's us that's rockin' yo' world
I be, I be, I be coffee, I be, I be, I be bone
Me I run the playin' field
Me I be ownin' the thrown
He be, he be, he be coffee, he be, he be, he be bone
