FRONTAL LOBE MUZIK
Daniel Caesar Lyrics

Yeah
Expressing approval or excitement

You know how I feel
Acknowledging that the listener is aware of the artist's emotions

I'm in love with you still, yeah
The artist is still in love with the listener

It helps, but it kills
Love is beneficial, but also has its difficulties

Your lovin', your lovin'
Referring to the listener's love

It hurts, it heals
Love can be both painful and healing

It breaks but it builds, ooh, yeah
Love can tear down barriers but also construct new ones

Your power and your will
Attributes of the listener's love

Your lovin', that's your lovin'
Reiterating the importance of the listener's love

Wanna feel something I can feel
The artist desires to experience real emotions

I know the things that I been feelin', they ain't real
The artist realizes that his previous emotions were not authentic

Wanted to know what it felt like for them to like me
The artist desires to know what it's like to be admired by others

Now I know, I gotta say, it's mighty frightening
The realization of being admired is scary for the artist

Wanna use it, use my frontal lobe
The artist wants to use his higher cognitive functions to truly experience love

But these feelings took this shit around the globe
The artist's emotions have become global and influential

God, I'm sick and tired of always feelin' lonely
The artist is tired of being alone

Got this Golden Child shit poppin' with my homies
The artist has achieved success with his group of friends

It's a hell of a feeling, I put this thing on the map
The artist is proud of his success and influence in the music industry

Remember back in the day you talked a whole lot of smack
The artist recalls past criticism he has received from others

It was hard for the black kid, you used to get at my gap
The artist faced obstacles as a young black man and experienced bullying

Used to steal all my groceries and now I get to the racks
The artist has gone from being robbed of food to being successful in his career

Used to be ugly, but now I hit from the back
The artist has gained confidence and sexual experience

The side, from the front, and I swear this pussy like crack
The artist enjoys sex and compares it to a highly addictive substance

Nigga got rhythm, I like to hear that shit clap
The artist is skilled in music and enjoys hearing the sounds of his beats and rhythms

Further from home, the unknown, is all that I know
The artist often finds himself in unfamiliar territory

Couldn't atone on the phone
The artist wasn't able to communicate his apologies effectively over the phone

I wish that I would be on my own, all alone
The artist desires to be independent and experience solitude

I wish that I would quit bein' stoned, be a stone
The artist wants to stop using drugs and become more grounded

I wish that I would just be a man when I can
The artist wants to be more responsible and accountable

I wish you had the vision to follow the plan
The artist desires that others would understand his vision and follow his lead

I wish I had a reason to see you again
The artist wants to see someone he misses

Never keep it inside
Expressing the importance of expressing one's emotions

Let it out so everybody around you know what it feels like
Encouraging others to share their emotions to create a sense of understanding

Ooh Ah, ah, ah, ah, eh, eh, eh
Vocalizations without significant meaning
