Nat “King” Cole
Just A Thought
[Intro]
Please join me in welcoming Denzel Washington
[Verse 1: Zosja el Rhazi]
The very thought of you
And I forget to do
The little ordinary things
That everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish, though it may seem
To me, that's everything
[Chorus: Zosja el Rhazi]
The mere idea of you
The longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go
'Til I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
[Post-Chorus: Sa Vich]
I'm on the cot, thinking "Is this life really worth living?"
It's just a thought, don't worry, I will not go missing
If I betray you, then I don't want to hear you be wishing
If I do something fucked up, I don't want to be forgiven
My brain is done, I can't even hear the pan hissing
Without thinking negative things 'bout my homie that's sniffing
I think I need to clear my head, should probably go fishing
I just hope that when I'm thirty, I'll still be here kicking
[Verse 2: Sa Vich]
'Cause, yeah, sometimes I see myself going through a depression
My father had it too when I was like three and was freshing
Haven't done anything lately, seeing no progression
No music recorded in the last three months, that's my confession
Some people told me "It all sounds the same, your instrumentals"
But I did not respond at the time, focused on my mental
But now I'm ready for everyone to be judgemental
Is this what you wanted, a motherfucking orchestral?
And to the people not digging it, there's plenty of trap
On this entire album, trust me you will hear the clap
I think last year with my album, I was too overconfident
I think this year with my album, it's my biggest accomplishment
You hear the violins, I know you hear the strings
Don't know 'bout you but this shit make me want to spread my wings
While you were playing Fortnite, I was meeting foreign kings
Sometimes I got to sit back and think about all these things
I've actually done a lot for somebody of my age
I should be happy that I'm free and not stuck in a cage
I should be happy I'm not in the crowd, I'm on the stage
And yet I'm not happy, 'cause my body is filled with rage
It's just a thought but I don't want to have these thoughts
Yet my body is circulating taking all these shots
It's just a thought, a thought that I don't want to have
And if I get it, then I want it all, not just half
[Chorus: Zosja el Rhazi & Sa Vich]
The mere idea of you
(I'm on the cot, thinking "Is this life really worth living?"
It's just a thought, don't worry, I will not go missing)
The longing here for you
(If I betray you, then I don't want to hear you be wishing
If I do something fucked up, I don't want to be forgiven)
You'll never know how slow the moments go
(My brain is done, I can't even hear the pan hissing
Without thinking negative things 'bout my homie that's sniffing)
'Til I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
[Spoken Word: Denzel Washington]
And there were some other good reasons for me to show up
Sure, I got an Academy Award
But I never had something called a Magic Meatball
After waiting in line for half an hour at the food truck
Yeah, yes, I've talked face to face with President Obama
But I've never talked face to face with a guy named Queater
Who sings bad songs over at Smokes on Tuesday night
I've never been to Buizel, I've never been to Heemo's
Yes, I have played a detective who battles demons
But I've never been to a school in my life
Where the squirrel population has gone bananas
I mean, they're breaking into dorm rooms
They're walking around campus
I think I saw some carrying books on the way to class
So I had to be here
I had to come
