Phanatik - Me?
(from the album The Incredible Walk)

Verse 1:
It takes a whole lot to hold your attention span/
I mean I gotta be large I’m talking extension - expand/
The invention of plans that are grand and sensational/
‘Cause the appetite of man is almost insatiable/
More, not just more but greater than before/
Supply the demand they command encore/
Now I’m sure I could do a lil’ sumn’ sumn’/
Rock a couple rhymes, do a show, you know something/
I ain’t gonna front like God ain’t give me nothing’/
No type of way to display His glory and show Him stuntin’/
But the problem comes when I’m in front of them/
And they leave wanting me and instead of wanting Him/
Now you can see my dilemma, ‘cause I am just a man/
I’ll tell loyal fan like Flavor-Flav “I can’t do nothing for you man”/
I mean I can lie like I’m the shot, say I’m hot/
And I got what it takes and I make no mistakes and I’m great but I am not.

Hook:
I’m not gonna pitch me so you can pick me like I got what you need/
if you prick me I bleed, I’m just a man/
It’s gotta be God

Verse 2
This is reason #73/
not to get hung up on a actor the rapper the pastor the reverend and me/
Who ever claims to belong on the throne/
Needs to bring long lasting satisfaction and never leave you alone/
You know those sad and lonely nights/
Your superstar in his sup’d up car aint coming to hold you tight/
He don’t even know where you live/
And you ain’t goin to see him/
You don’t even know where they live/
But they know that out of sight means out of mind/
So they spend mad dough on ads and radio time/
It’s like they’re trin be everywhere, everywhere a person can stare/
Billboards TV screen, the mirror/
But I ain’t playing that game/
Saying my name 50 times in one rhyme just so I can remain in your brain/
I don’t deserve that kind of mention’n /
Only God can condescend to be with men and still be omnipresent

Hook:
If you come to the show/
go wild go hard but don’t go all out for me go out for God/
I’m not worth it I’m not worthless/
He did purchase me but only He’s worth your worship

Verse 3
The fact of the matter is/
There’s really nothing the matter with being enamored with someone who has a gift/
This is only hazardous/
If he’s asked to perform a task for which he’s really not adequate/
Like giving you a reason to live cause see if your living for him/
And then he dies then your reason is history/
Now what are you living for/
Sudden death strikes and all of a sudden it’s like you gotta find a different source/
For your soul to get attached/
And hope they never let you down but not even Big/
Was big enough for that/
You can get a tat/
Talking about/
“He’s still alive”/
But like they tell Elvis fans/
Fam he really died/
It’s only really God/
Who has to get this affection/
Even after death Christ has the strength for resurrection/
So please don’t be fooled by all the “me’s”/
It could be he she another MC or even little old me
