Lately

[Hook]: I'm on this path, about to blow Sometimes, I just don't know I Lately I've been feelin' Lately I've been feelin' [Verse One]: Lately I keep thinkin' 'bout my funeral Lately I keep seein' how life is beautiful So lately I ain't been doin' the things I used to do And I stare at the mirror like, "What am I gonna do with you?" And I'm talkin' to my life And life stays answers back, "We'll be alright." But lately it's been tough to really write And lately I just don't give a damn about bein' nice Cause I was sittin' there watchin' MTV And they was runnin' off The Hottest Top 10 MCs They had, Lupe, Kanye, Wayne, Jay-Z And I'm thinkin' What I need for them to mention me Forget it Lately I need a lot of counselin' A lot of obstacles in front of me, I got around 'em Lately I keep hearin' how hot the south is And e'rybody soundin' like Roger Troutman But that's a good thing maybe I'm not really focused on the hood things lately I'm not stressin' if the radio will play me And lately, I ain't buggin' if some label out there pays me [Hook]: I'm on this path, about to blow Sometimes, I just don't know I Lately I've been feelin' Lately I've been feelin' Like I need More than a flow More than the fame More than the dough Lately I've been feelin' Lately I've been feelin' Down [Verse Two]: I feel like the strength and the power of God is in me I'm so centered, call me ? or maybe not Lately a lot music crowds are soft It really sounds like nothin' Cause people hate substance But then they want change, no matter what I love it Ask how the game's treatin' me, I answer, "I'm above it." So lately I be up in the clubs and I'm zonin' To what they feel and sometimes poppin' the bub' or the Vodka but not a lot If you see me I'm with some thugs or some dime lookin' ladies I've been gettin' love lately I've been walkin' in the street and sometimes I get spotted It feels kinda cool cause lately I'm gettin' hotter But chicks want tricks and I'm lookin' like Harry Potter So I gotta be careful and watch 'em cause they be plottin' I ran into this shawty with a package so tough She had the narrowest gut and a fabulous butt She said she loved that song called Back Of The Bus that I did And then she asked if I was married and stuff "Any kids?" I said, "No Before you keep up the interrogation Just know I really wrote that song about public transportation And lately I've been sorta late with all my payment makin' So if you want me for my dough that's a mistake you makin'." And she laughed and said, "You funny Sha Lately I don't even care about money Sha." And last week I seen her get in Sha Money's car I guess I got a ways to go, that's why I'm comin' hard Cause a lot of what we listen to ain't up to par I can't turn back now I done come too far [Hook]: I'm on this path, about to blow Sometimes, I just don't know I Lately I've been feelin' Lately I've been feelin' Like I need More than a flow More than the fame More than the dough Lately I've been feelin' Lately I've been feelin' Down
