People Noticin' Me lyrics

Thank the Lord for people noticing me

There once was a time, seemed I didn't exist

The world turned crazy

Don't treat me shady, baby

For noticing me

When people notice me, I notice them right back

Acknowledge the fact, if it wasn't for them I wouldn't be where I was at

Which is nowhere fast, my destination - zero

Never decor of medals, don't own a cape, can't be known as hero

Nothing which is idle, nada partner, fledgling, weakling, a mere sapling

Catch for breath, I resort to grappling

Appalling, calling to my peers, who keep on falling

Let's put this junk in reverse, before matters get any worse

Standing on the shores of Orion, wishing someone would hold my hand

Dreading being alone, being a failure, trying to stand on my own

Got a dysfunction crunch in my rib cage, anxiety attacks

Looking back, turn to a pillar of salt, while all the while thinking it's not my fault

Position I've been placed in versus conditions that I'm facing

It's on me, too bad, this thing sounds like a task too great for kings

Switch it, widget, as I guessed, that's what mind and body professed

Obstacles turned up every day, gotta make the grade to pass the test

Candidate in the poll, dabbing, propping all the voters

It's been ordained that I be noticed

Thank the Lord for people noticing me

There once was a time, seemed I didn't exist

The world turned crazy

Don't treat me shady, baby

People noticing me

Thank the Lord for people noticing me

There once was a time, seemed I didn't exist

The world turned crazy

Don't treat me shady, baby

People noticing me

I exercise with the vocals

Apply verbal chokeholds to theological minds, who try to unfold

These written analysations of themes seen through the eyes of X,

The generation of next

To lead this nation to it's destiny

Seems to me, the rate the world I going, I see hell around the corner

People doing what they wanna

Like Sodom and Gomorrah, the horrors coming clearer

See my life on borrowed time, in the future, in the mirror

I see fear of never making it

Concentration has a break in it

Having fits, frustrated from incompetence,

Or complications as a speaker of truth

When people noticing you, it seems to never get through

But if I stumble and fall, my call in all that I achieve in the light of God's

Direction stripped from me, I count it blessed today

To chase the spirit of my being, to had it all, so I can see without it on

My only need was peace in Christ, so y'all can see my contention

In blessings of light, with no possessions

Will you be noticing me when I'm nothing?

Baby, will you be noticing me?

Will you be noticing me?

Thank the Lord for people noticing me

There once was a time, seemed I didn't exist

The world turned crazy

Don't treat me shady, baby

People noticing me

Thank the Lord for people noticing me

There once was a time, seemed I didn't exist

The world turned crazy

Don't treat me shady, baby

People noticing me

Now I hear you holler 'bout your people, but I think you forgot

I wonder if Damien knows that 2Pac got shot, or if he cares

'Cause we the brothers up under the stairs

While you holler 'bout you daytons and meaningless conversations

See, I don't care if you get high or blunted

I get you hotter than a SP1200

I'm standing firm like Tom Cruise, cut out the booze,

And I don't work for work now

So Farrakhan, stay out of the church, I put in the work

It's Count Bass with the Grits

It's like this y'all

It's like that y'all

And we never fall, you know what I'm saying?

Thank the Lord for people noticing me

There once was a time, seemed I didn't exist

The world turned crazy

Don't treat me shady, baby

People noticing me

Thank the Lord for people noticing me

There once was a time, seemed I didn't exist

The world turned crazy

Don't treat me shady, baby

People noticing me

I'm still gonna just keep running it

There once was a time, seemed I didn't exist

The world turned crazy

Don't treat me shady, baby

People noticing me

Thank the Lord for people noticing me

There once was a time, seemed I didn't exist

The world turned crazy

Don't treat me shady, baby

People noticing me
