All That You Are - The Foreign Exchange

Check it out, I want you to feel me, baby

Want you to understand me, baby

This is it, yo, no bullshit, no jokes, no games

This is it, yo, fo real, I see it happenin', man

It’s about to go down for all of us, fo' real

I see you swingin', I see you noddin' to it

It’s about to go down for us, word up, man

We almost home, we almost at the finish line, nigga

It feel good, don’t it?

Oh, yo, and it’s over

I can go home and chill, feel it, yo

It’s a long process from bar 1 to bar 16

And writin' in my notebook from morn' to evenin'

But my fam' still not believin'

In my bed late at night with my eyes closed, often dreamin'

And zoned out, I’m goin' out, fuck it, I’m home now

Arrestin' the rhythm, I’m a rollin' stone now

Makin' my own way from stone cold days and long nights

But who could feel my sacrifice?

'Cause they ain’t half as nice and couldn’t understand

How I feel when I’m on the track board turnin' the knob switch

Moms keep talkin' that old 'Get a real job' shit

And that’s the kind of thinkin' Phonte got a prob' with

Solved it, my blood fam' on the bandwagon

Can’t believe the man put his plan into action

They rather that I choose a different plan for my passion

Couldn’t understand, I demand satisfaction

They say you might be crazy and sometimes I agree

You and I know that’s not all that you are

They say you might be crazy, selfish in power, baby

You and I know that’s not all that you are

Yo, it’s a new day, it’s time to see

I got a seed, Amaya, the love of my life

Best believe, plus I still got love for me

I’m doin' this for her and me, take mics and make currency

Steady worryin', yo, I wish I had a clone of me

Man, this ain’t the way it supposed to be

My daughter’s mom wishin' she was close to me

Holdin' me, instead she’s lonely and loathin'

Complainin' that her life’s competin' with mine

'Cause I be out of the house for weeks at a time

And she be stuck at home playin' housewifey with an attitude

Before we had a kid, we should’ve had a clue

I fell asleep with this beat on repeat

Repetitively, life seems to greet me

I’m tryin' to be a better man, please believe me

Ready and God willin' if you ready to teach me

They say you might be crazy and sometimes I agree

You and I know that’s not all that you are

They say you might be crazy, selfish in power, baby

You and I know that’s not all that you are

Real talk, yo

Uh, everybody gotta way to try to be the man

Some write rhymes, others move kilograms

You ain’t tryin' to play yourself with me, neither man

Because I was dealt, I can play 'em with either hand

I gotta be the plan, put it in motion

A nigga on the grind, I’m proceedin' with focus

I know that makin' my moves ain’t a part of your plans

But understand that, that ain’t all that I am

I was lost in the trance, woke up

Got a call from a man with a studio he bought with a grand

Feel like destiny was in the palm of his hand

Real shit, we can all understand, check it out, yo

They say you might be crazy and sometimes I agree

You and I know that’s not all that you are

They say you might be crazy, selfish in power, baby

You and I know that’s not all that you are

Yeah, come on

All that you are, all that you are

All that you are, you are, you are, you are
