Middle of the Day (feat. Nino!)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, mm, mm

They told me work is for the workin' man

Art is for the advocates

My passion is for cashin' in

They tell me I'm too passionate

If art is part of activism, they callin' me Kaepernick

So happy to find home even if it hasn't happened yet

If the father was the model and turned from the children

I never earned the urge to learn, but I'm certainly willin'

It's the overthinkin' maniac

Not sure if his brain's attached

Swear some my favorite tracks are still up in this Yankee hat

I went so far down this broken road, hope I make it back

A younger me would've just blamed the flat

So when it's said and done

Tables turned

Lessons learned

I always resent the men who spent more than they earned

Whatever happened to takin' action? Voicin' concern?

I've been patient, waitin' for fickle bridges to burn

I've been left out, lost in lovin' you

Bless your heart, hold my head

I don't know what to do

Ain't it strange

When I call out your name in the middle of the day

And I see your eyes in the sky

I don't know why I even try to change

Ain't it strange

When I call out your name in the middle of the day

So I think until I'm thoughtless and give until I'm heartless

Never knew just what the cost is, nowadays I just stay cautious

Ain't seen my brother in years

I think he just had some kids

I'm startin' to think my mom don't know what full circle is

I guess it is what it is, told to live and let God

Discouraged by my bedside

Roll my eyes when I get tired

Ain't too proud to beg when it comes my temptations

In case you ever write me, I'll sit here with my pen waitin'

Tired of empty envelopes sent as invitations

So if you want me in the loop, I'll send an imitation

I have no business waitin'

I make no implications

I'm only getting started

I've never been impatient

I had to put heart in

But I'm not ring chasin'

Went through all the static listenin' to different stations

So we said what we said and the damage was done

Don't come for my head

Come for my lungs

malaise.

I've been left out, lost in lovin' you

Bless your heart, hold my head

I don't know what to do

Ain't it strange

When I call out your name in the middle of the day

See your eyes in the sky

I don't know why I even try to change

Ain't it strange

When I call out your name in the middle of the day
