[Intro: Phonte]
Check it out
I want you to feel me, baby!
I want you to understand me, baby!
This is it, yo! {*laughs*}
No bullshit... no jokes, no games
This is it yo, for real, I see it happenin', man
It's about to go down – for all of us (Fo' real)
I see you swinging, I see you noddin' to it
It's about to go down, Khrysis, word up, man
We almost home
We almost at the finish line, nigga!
It feel good, don't it? Oh!
(Yo...)
And it's over! I can go home and chill!
(Feel it, yo...)
[Verse 1: Phonte, Median, together]
It's a long process, from bar 1 to bar 16, and
Writing in my notebook, from morn' to evening
But, my fam still not believin'
In my bed late at night, with my eyes closed, often dreamin'
And zoned out I'm goin' out, fuck it, I'm home now
I rest in the rhythm, I'm a rolling stone now
Making my own way, from stone cold days and long nights
But who could feel my sacrifice?
'Cause they ain't half as nice
And couldn't understand how I
Feel when I'm on the track board, turnin' the knob switch
Moms keep talking that ol' "get a real job" shit
And that's the kind of thinking Phonte got a prob' with
Solved it – my blood fam on the bandwagon
Can't believe the man put his plan into action
They rather that I choose a different plan for my passion
Couldn't understand I demand satisfaction
[Hook: Darien Brockington]
They say you might be crazy
And sometimes I agree
But you and I know that's not all that you are (All that you are)
They say you might be crazy
Selfish, empowered baby
But you and I know that's not all that you are
[Verse 2: Median & Phonte]
Yo, it's a new day, it's time to see; I got a seed
Amya, the love of my life, best believe
Plus, I still got love for me
I'm doin this for her and me, take mics and make currency
Steady worrying, yo, I wish I had a clone of me
Man, this ain't the way it supposed to be
My daughter's mom wishing she was close to me
Holdin' me, instead she's lonely – and loathing
Complaining that her life's competin' with mine
'Cause I be out of the house for weeks at a time
And she be stuck at home, playing housewifey with an attitude
Before we had a kid (Say what?) we should've had a clue (Aight)
I fell asleep with this beat on repeat
Repetitive loop, life seems to greet me
I'm trying to be a better man, please believe me
Ready and God willing, if you ready to teach me – for real
(Word up!)
[Hook: Darien Brockington]
They say you might be crazy
And sometimes I agree
But you and I know that's not all that you are (All that you are)
They say you might be crazy
Selfish, empowered baby
But you and I know that's not all that you are (All that you are)
[Verse 3: Phonte & Median]
(Real talk... yo...)
Everybody got a way to try to be the man
Some write rhymes, others move kilograms
You ain't tryna play yourself? Well, me neither, man
The cards I was dealt, I can play 'em with either hand (C'mon)
I gotta be the plan, put it in motion
A nigga on the grind, I'm proceeding with focus
I know that makin' my moves ain't a part of your plans
But understand that that ain't all that I am
I was lost in the trance
Woke up, got a call from my man
With a studio, he bought with a grant
Feel like destiny was in the palm of his hand
Real shit we can all understand (Check it out, yo)
[Hook: Darien Brockington]
They say you might be crazy
And sometimes I agree
But you and I know that's not all that you are (All that you are)
They say you might be crazy
Selfish, empowered baby
But you and I know that's not all that you are (All that you are)
[Outro: Darien Brockington]
All you are (You are... you are... you are...)
