[Chorus/Intro]
And the world goes 'round, but the hood keeps standin' still
Rich folks laughin' at me, while they livin' on Capitol Hill (heh, heh heh, yeah)
And the rich get rich, but the poor man stands alone (yeah, we stand alone)
You can touch me all you want, but don't stand there, pass the bone
Before a n***a go crazy (wow, uh)
I'm 'bout to tell you how that feels (have you, have you ever?)
In case you ever go crazy (uh)
And it's hard for you to tell what's real (can't tell what's real no more)
Oh (I can't tell what's real)
[Verse 1]
Ay, last night I forgot to pray
And by the time that I did, I waited so long
I damn near forgot what I got to say
I wonder how many blessings I got today? (huh!)
I don't appreciate 'em all on a daily basis
Dinner's on the table, but I ain't sayin' graces (amen)
Too busy thinkin' 'bout Louis Vuitton aviators (fresh)
Or thinkin' 'bout the vacation I just made to Vegas
A homeless man is walking back and forth, makin' paces
I never thought about... me and him tradin' places (huh?)
I never thought about his house or how he make his payments (nah)
I looked at him and I just thought about stayin' famous (damn)
I'm lost in all the memories that every day erases
So fuck searchin' for truth, I'd rather stay sedated (ha!)
'Cause the more I learn, is the more I learn that I don't know a goddamn thing
All I got is more to learn, I know
[Chorus]
Crazy (uh)
I'm 'bout to tell you how that feels (I'm 'bout to tell you how that feels)
In case you ever go crazy (uh, ha)
And it's hard for you tell what's real (I can't tell what's real, baby)
Oh (ay, ay, ay)
[Bridge]
I pray that you heal
From all of the scars
That you never speak about
That makes all that you are
I pray that you heal
From all of the wrong
That no one will ever apologize for
[Verse 2]
Uh, last night, I forgot to pray
When I started, then my grandmama called me
And asked me to see my daughter, but I told her nah, not today
I was too busy, and she only live a block away (damn)
I can't account for the blessings I got today (no)
Nor can I account for the dues I forgot to pay
But I remember not owin'
Ignorance is bliss, I remember not knowin'
But in the dark, all you remember is not growin'
I remember not glowin'
I don't remember class, but I remember not goin'
Gone, tryna find my way from A to Z
I'm lost, I can't find my way from A to B
Lord, I always thought it's just the way it be
I'm lost, but I learned that it's okay to be
And maybe it's okay for me
[?] ain't seen or heard
So watch what you say, because the truth is inbetween the words
That all
[Chorus/Outro]
I'm 'bout to tell you how that feels, uh
In case you ever go crazy
And it's hard for you to tell what's real
Uh, uh
Yeah
And the world goes 'round, but the hood keeps standin' still (keeps standin' still)
Rich folks laughin' at me while they livin' on Capitol Hill (ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
And the rich get rich, but the poor man stands alone (yeah, we stand alone)
You can touch me all you want, but don't stand there, pass the bone
Before a n***a go crazy
I'm 'bout to tell you how that feels
In case you ever go crazy
And it's hard for you to tell what's real
Oh
