Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's phenomenal, this boy's gonna find his soul
It's emotional, room for us to grow, yeah
Superliminal, yeah
[Verse 2]
Ours is all that you wanna be
Lost my pride, I'm a wannabe
But still I need you, I see
Only you can give me freedom
Only you can make me sing (You make me sing)
(Even though sometimes, real talk, I don't know what you talkin' 'bout)
[Verse 3]
It's phenomenal, your boy's gonna find his soul
It's emotional, room for us to grow, yeah
[Verse 4]
Lord knows I can't fake the funk
Talking to my…. more than once a month
Flip-floppin' in my sleep all night
I need to know if we can make it right (Make it right)
[Verse 5]
Dear Lord, I pray that you bless our relationship
I pray that you help us not to fight
And to get along and to go to church on Sundays
[Verse 6]
Mama said, do what you can
Gotta be a holy man
You could tell that I'm a Nolia man
By the way that I talk
And the way that I walk
And I wanna see your pretty face
Light up like the city in springtime
Light up like the crowd when I rhyme
Light up like, shine (Get it)
I know you don't like to dance in public
But I love it when you get loose
And show your toes, show your toes
Or when you get loose and show your foes
Let's show them, ooohhh
[Verse 7]
It's phenomenal, ha ah, you so phenomenal
It's phenomenal, and we gon' find a way
It's emotional, room for us to grow, oh
It's phenomenal, we gon' find it
We gon' find a way
It's emotional, room for us to grow
Yeah, yeah, yeah
