“Lean Back” is the first part of this three-part story. The title is a play on the idea of a trust fall, where leaning back entails blind trust in the person behind you to catch you. This song focuses on my mentality at a younger age, when I had blind trust in God without fully understanding what ge...
[Hook/Intro]
I'll give it all to you
I gotchu, I gotchu
I'll read your thoughts and prove
I gotchu, I gotchu
Nothing is by accident
Everything is planned and premeditated
I'm getting jaded
Looking so far into the future that I might as well be anxious 'bout my afterlife
Probably use a piece of 'peace of mind' please can you pass a slice?
Pretty hard to pick apart these petty thoughts, don't pass advice
Of people of the past, predecessors press the glass with prying
Eyes the prize of missed opportunity slowly passing by
Lasting pride, impossible pill swallow and pacify
Been told
I am more than skin bones and blood
Am only one
That's been gifted the skill
Of the illest illustrator
Picture painter with this pen and paper
So that a minute later you in the place that I finna take ya
Story that I been afraid of
Awaiting the taste of glory but stuck in the shade of
A bitter place after chasing a bitter fame and
If I lean back, can I relax, knowing you gonna say
[Hook]
I'll give it all to you
(Lean Back)
I gotchu, I gotchu
I'll read your thoughts and prove
(Lean Back)
I gotchu, I gotchu
[Verse 2]:
Guess some things are by accident
Despite all my plans and premediation
The very place I am today is just a product
Of various stars aligning, 'least thats what I was taught from
The day that I landed
On this dry planet that's
1-19-1999 dammit
High standards to identify, man it's
The mind of child tied in a pile of divine havoc
But I ain't got the time to provide all of my doubts with
This path that I've been pulled along, so I put my hands in
The spiritual formation
So this imbissile goes places
With little bit more faith and
Less weight on his mind matter
It's like my goosebumps forming message in braille, its blind magic
I don't give a shit if I ain't seeing straight
Calls from the sky
Asking for all of the wise
To say a few words in return for the burdens that it can for sure alleviate?
[Bridge]
Sounds like one hell of a bargain to me
In fact I really think I start believe
Put my hands together and then I follow the sheep
As long as when my hand out you still calling to me
Sounds like one hell of a bargain to me
In fact I really think I start believe
Put my hands together and then follow the sheep
As long as when my hand out you still calling to me
And say
[Hook]
I'll give it all to you
(Lean Back)
I gotchu, I gotchu
I'll read your thoughts and prove
(Lean Back)
I gotchu, I gotchu
