PLAN

(album: L O W B L O W - 2023)

[Intro:]
I wish I could do something to help you too

[Mogli the Iceburg:]
I used to dream about the day I would grow up
Drop my first tape and swear that I was 'bout to blow up
Reality set in and rent ain't cheap
So now I'm working at a job that I can hardly stand to show up to
I saved some money put a plan into action
In hopes that I could change the situation I'm trapped in
A tree fell on my whip and my insurance was trash So all the money that I saved they had to put it right back in
Out on my last leg I'm exhausted
Fell down on my face and I lost it
Holding on hurts more than to let go
All my dreams get lost in the echo
I'll manage, guess time is like a bandage
Your ways are complicated tired of trying to understand it
Obsessing 'bout the way it all plays out inside my head
Instead of bringing it to You, who would listen when I said

Oh, life ain't going like the way I planned out
I'm just tryna do the best I can
Man makes plans and God laughs
While the whole world's spinning in the background
I've been going nowhere fast Father light my path
And I'll follow where you say now

[nobigdyl.:]
I found a girl when I was climbing up to heaven
Eyes made of diamonds and her smile was a weapon
Caught up in the ride I was blind to the message problems would arise but I didn't want to question it
Finally I got the courage to address it
Baby let me in it's like I couldn't learn my lesson Her love was a weapon but I had a little death wish
She lived inside a Proverb five six seven
Man makes plans and God laughs again
Follow my heart the car crashed again
Follow my stars and Mars scratched his chin
I'ma fall apart then call it art again
Every time I plan it I end up like a planet
I orbit in the darkness
The light has been extracted
The cycle reenacted
I'm liable to redact it
My conscience is attracted to a Bible and a bad bi—
Man makes plans and God laughs again (God)
Follow my heart the car crashed again (Car crashed)
Follow my stars and Mars scratched his chin
I'ma fall apart then call it art again
I found a girl when I was climbing up to heaven (Climbing up to heaven)
Eyes made of diamonds and her smile was a blessing (Smile was a blessin')
Tore my heart out and then she left me while I bled
Sent a final message to the heavens and it said...

[Mogli the Iceburg:]
Oh, life ain't going like the way I planned out
I'm just tryna do the best I can
Man makes plans and God laughs
While the whole world's spinning in the background
I've been going nowhere fast Father light my path
And I'll follow where you say now
