Truth to Light

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.
