[Verse 1: Phonte]
All I see is the chase
I'm on the run like a rockstar in a stock car
That's driven by the fear of being replaced
Fear of being erased, another day at the race
To the finish line where nothing significant awaits
My people listen to me and say when they listen to me
That all they hear is the greats
But I can't listen to it 'cause all I hear is mistakes
I'm on a mission to optimize the vision
Separate the hisses from the kisses and recognize the snakes
Slithering in the garden, hoping I'd be tender hearted
And go and force MDs to go and give me something for the ache
Get deluded off Dilaudid, or go and cop a car 'cause it's cathartic
Man I just need a break
But never fear, it was a heavy year sorry for the wait
Fucking right, such is life
[Chorus: (Cecile Jordan)]
Always by your side
Always by your side
Always by your side
Always by your
[Verse 2: Phonte]
I'm walking on the verge with a verve
'Cause I deserve to sing a joyful song and not a dirge
Through all the darkness I emerged
Control your urge or them boys gon' go get it crackin' off
Niggas walk in the clubs looking at broads
But walkin' out lookin' at 3-5 on a agg assault
Niggas is animals, they all dog eat dog, straight cannibal
Ox with a Cold Vein catalogue
Dusted off the Xannys and the Adderalls
Destined to lead us all to the catacombs
I guess I can't be mad at all, it's just reality
So I let melody be medicine for malady
Sing a simple song, fuck the formalities
I refuse to be a casualty, wanderlust man I'm traveling
Off on another flight, close your eyes breathe deep, just another night
Fucking right, such is life
[Chorus: (Cecile Jordan)]
Always by your side
Always by your side
Always by your side
Always by your
[Bridge: Sample (?)]
The countdown is progressing
And your spaceship is about to blast off on a voyage of discovery
[Outro: (Kristi Ae)]
You are not what you do
What you are is how you do it
You are not what you do
What you are is how you do it
You are not what you do
What you are is how you do it
You are not what you do
What you are is how you do it
You are not what you do
What you are is how you do it
You are not what you do
What you
