Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say we crazy but we don't care

I'm Almost 4-0 but feeling like I'm 1/2 of that
Ya blind to the truth you like some old dudes with cataracts
My God will crack the roof and boom the sky like its rat a tat
So i grab the track ride the rap like the saddle back
Searching for directions like some tags on a apple map 
Never learned my lesson what I had i tried to grab it back 
Then I start repenting then and heaven became my habitat 
And now we kind of tight like he man and battle cat 
Tell me what you laughing at yall just need to go w/ me
Yall just need to face the fact that you need to roll w/ me
I get so amazed that he died and rose and he
Came as the lion king but you treat him like hello kitty
Hello diddy hello jay
Wassup fiddy wassup wayne
You know my king the one who runs down the whole thing?
In case you never understand here's why we go cray

They say we crazy but we don't care
I be going mental
You he they be we be going mental
Here we go now...

I be going mental (duh) that's what we fin to go now
Even if it hurts I got to get it it's about to go down
He chose to get me he rolling with me he could've killed me no smoke and pistol
Alive now on fire now can't be tied down it's worldwide
All around the country they losing it yeah get used to it
Off is how I used to to live but now it's only through the switch
Unashamed it's not a game man we passionate
Its about to get crazy baby make sure you fasten it
Crazy that's what they say mental that's what they think
If you been through what I been through then you might just go insane
They say we crazy but we don't care
Man I was crazy before I got here...

From the back and the front its packing a pump that's smacking and racking them up
I rap and attacking the stuff they happen to love we snatching em up
They acting a punk they bragging it up and they laugh and they cracking em up
They claim they backing it up but all I got is a love
He came in the flesh he came and he left when he rose to the sky and above
He came w/ a death he came and he went for those recognized in the blood




He came and he bled I claim what he said cause all I have is the one
That came and he lived and I claim what he did so I rap and brag on the Son like...
