[Verse 1: Phonte, Median and together]
It's a long process, from bar 1 to bar 16 and
Writin in my notebook from morning to evening
But my fam still not believin'
In my bed, late at night, with my eyes closed, often dreaming
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 old "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 undеrstand I demand satisfaction
[Hook: Darien Brockington]
They say you might be crazy
And somеtimes I agree
You and I know that's not all that you are
They say you might be crazy
Selfish in power, baby
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, Amaya, 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 worryin', yo – I wish I had a clone of me
Man, this ain't the way it supposed to be
My daughter's mom wishin' 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, we should've had a clue
I fell asleep with this beat on repeat
Repetitively, life seems to grip me
I'm trying to be a better man, please believe me
Ready and God willing, if you ready to teach me
[Hook: Darien Brockington]
They say you might be crazy
And sometimes I agree
You and I know that's not all that you are
They say you might be crazy
Selfish in power, baby
You and I know that's not all that you are
[Verse 3: Phonte & Median]
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
Because 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 proceedin' 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 a 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)
