Grits - 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 fit's, 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 Grit's
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
