Phonte
All That You Are (Remix)
[Intro]
Check it out
I want you to feel me baby
I want you to understand me baby
This is it yo, no bullshit
No jokes, no games
This is it yo, fo 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 for us, word up man
We almost home
We almost at the finish line n***a
It feel good, don't it? Oh!
And it's ova!
I can go home and chill
(Feel it, yo)
[Verse 1]
It's a long process from bar 1 to bar 16 and
Writin in my notebook from morn' to evenin
But my fam still not believin' - in my bed late
At night with my eyes closed, often dreaming
And zoned out, I'm gone now 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 a 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 path for my passion
Couldn't understand I demand satisfaction
[Hook]
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 2]
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
Repetative loop life seems to greet me
I'm trying to be a better man, please believe me
Ready and God willin if you ready to teach me, for real. word up
[Hook]
[4 bar bridge]
(Real talk, yo)
[Verse 3]
Everybody got a way to try to be the man
Some write rhymes others move kilograms
You ain't tryna play yourself with 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 n***a 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 grand
Feel like destiny was in the palm of his hand
Real shit we can all understand (check it out yo)
[Hook]
