Phases

Feet up, on the dashboard
Nigga knock knock, it's your landlord
Enter the function through the back door
All eyes on me, I got the damn sauce
They say, "'llow the guitar, you should rap more"
I can do both, 'cause I'm that raw
Fuck the damn law, no rules here
I'ma stand for, what I rap for (yeah)
We should probably go back to the trade days
Why does anybody need so much cash for?

Must be a hypocrite 'cause when the money ain't right
I be tellin' them to raise the stack more
Who's to blame that I think that way? (Way)
But being broke, I could never swing that way (way)
Never again, due to the power of the pen (pen)
I'm blessed (I'm blessed)
Runnin' around on my A game shit, I'm next, oh
Figured I'ma do my best, oh
Giving you all that's left of me
I could make do with less, oh (I could make do with less)

Cruisin' through the west, oh (hey)
Bangin' that Tribe Called Quest, oh
I don't need too much in life, just give me my respect (give me that)
Know that Simz has depth, oh
Shit, I ain't even got to say no more (no)
Don't have to explain no more
True, I been changing the game for sure
Ain't gotta worry 'bout keys no more
Shit, man I'm not 18 no more
Well, time is a concept

Still enough of that shit, we ain't got left
Got left though

Oh, I can't tell the future anymore
But it's just a phase
Just a phase
It's just a phase
Just a phase
Oh, thought I'd always be the same person
But it's just a phase
Just a phase
It's just a phase
Just a phase

Faces, many faces
Know that I can deal with what I'm faced with
Thought that I would never lose that one braid (one braid)
Guess I was going through phases
Yes, I been going through changes
Learning to do shit in stages (yeah)
Got me in all different stages (yeah)
Took the leap, I'm courageous
Wonderland was deserted, then I found my oasis (yeah)
Had to unlearn to bullshit (bullshit)

Take it way back to basics (yeah)
Saw the white rabbit and followed it down into something amazing
What on earth am I witnessing?
What a mindfuck, I tell ya
You see, I put the 'great' in greatness
I put the 'a' in normal
Add the 'ab', when I rhyme shit, be sounding abnormal
I didn't come to be formal
I just came to rap for you
You should walk through that portal with me

This might just be eternal (eternal)
Lowkey, I'm immortal (I'm immortal)
Don't doubt me, that's awful (awful)
Never here to be forceful (be forceful)
Anybody can believe in what they want
As long as that shit works for you (works for you)
Brought it, you see me?
I respect that shit (yeah)
Got dreams, you better protect that shit (true)
Got dreams, you better protect that shit (true)

Got reason, had to progress in this

Oh, I can't tell the future anymore
But it's just a phase
Just a phase
It's just a phase
Just a phase
Oh, thought I'd always be the same person
But it's just a phase
Just a phase
It's just a phase
Just a phase

Yo, got a big heart
Got Mum in it, got Dad in it
Got love in it, got T in it
Got Shabs in it
Got Femi in it, got Kiki in it
Got Amir in it, Lisa and Charles in it
Got Kate, got Gavin, got the kids in it
Got Eddie, got OTG in it

I barely call my mama on the phone
But it's just a phase
Just a phase
It's just a phase
Just a phase (just a phase)
Oh, thought I'd always be the same person
But it's just a phase
Just a phase
It's just a phase
Just a phase

Well whatever I'm doing, shit, it's working (workin')
It's working (work)
This is working (workin'), working (workin')
