whatchutalkinbout
Jon Batiste Lyrics

I'm flying a plane to Mars, with bars that rocket me to a new level
I am on an explosive journey filled with new opportunities and boundless creativity.

I never will lose the space that I choose It's mine, I find it's inevitable
I am confident in my path, and nothing can deter me from achieving my goals.

Benevolent dude, I never refuse the truth when it hurts, But it's good for you
I always embrace honesty, even when it is uncomfortable because it is necessary for growth.

Don't always look fly, just a regular guy Dude with a hoodie and jeans and a beanie and a size thirteen Sneak peek out the window
Despite my accomplishments, I remain humble and grounded, often dressing casually and enjoying simple pleasures.

I'm a shy, young guy with a little bit of fame to my name And the folks really like to come hear me sing
Despite my shyness, I have earned a following through my music, which brings joy to those who listen.

Got you down in the dirt with your messed up shirt Like a leopard with the fangs, jumpin up off the floor Hoping and hoping and hoping for more In the passenger seat, this journey I beast
I empower my listeners to strive for more, to be strong and determined in their personal journeys, while I guide them from a higher position.

And I never concede when I'm bringing the funk I don't even know what you talkin' about Every time I pick up the mic And fam be reppin' and reppin', I'm like
I never back down when creating my unique sound, and I am not affected by those who try to bring me down.

I never been jailed, I never been popped I never will have the message of Pac May never have the voice that you rock But I dare you to call me and tell me to stop
I am not the same as other artists, but I am proud of my own experiences and my own unique message, and I won't stop creating and performing.

Didn't you hear the president sang? Obama was singing 'Amazing Grace' There's so many things I'm delighted to say Remember when the country was bae?
I am moved by powerful moments, like when the President sang 'Amazing Grace', and I am nostalgic for simpler times in our country's history.

I'm chillin', I'm feelin', I bust through the ceiling And y'all ain't ready, 'cause I don't even know whatchutalkinbout!
I am riding high and breaking through limitations, and those who doubt me are not ready for what comes next.

I never deny the brother in need The more that you talk, the more that we bleed You cut, you cut, you cut, you cut And the deeper and deeper and deeper the stream
I am a compassionate person who stands up for others in need, and I am aware of the harm that words can cause.

But this ultra light, not a regular beam People is bursting up out of the seams This is reality, not a dream This is reality, and
My music is a powerful force that speaks to people's deepest selves, and it transcends normal boundaries of expression and perception.

As I proceed to do to deliver you the whole freedom of Freedom fly funk soul food Overload your mind Break the space-time continuum I'm flying a plane to Mars, with bars They breakin' me to a new level
My goal is to give my listeners an unparalleled sense of freedom and release through my music, and take them to new levels of consciousness and understanding.

But on my new level I still, still, still Still don't know whatchutalkinbout!
Even as I continue to grow and evolve as an artist and person, I am still unclear about others' intentions and motives, but I remain confident nonetheless.
