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

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

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?

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
