[Intro]

They call me crazy

[Verse]

I remember sellin' quarters back when I was broke

Never made me much money 'cause I had to smoke

I used to tell myself, at least, I wasn't sellin' Coke

I had to quit 'cause fake friends started tellin' folks

The problem is, the folks they tellin' was the fuckin' Jakes

And the ones I thought really were my friends were just somе fuckin' snakes

If J had to do it all again, I'd take that fuckin' case

Livin' my lifе knowin' sometimes that’s just how much it takes

But nowadays I just stay prayed up, I ain't got time to be laid up

All them many nights I stayed up, it's about time that they paid us

All them hard nights damn sure made us feel like we could be the greatest

I was born in July

And got rich on they broke ass, I remember back when I could die

Now I throw a song in the sky, I'm immortal for the night

They call me crazy

But maybe that's 'what I am

But would you lie for me? I can't tell

If I jump from the ledge, will you tell them I fell?

Tell 'em I fly, tell 'em I fall, into the sky

Would you tell 'em that I'm crazy?

Or tell 'em when they aimin' for your chips and they let you lay in the streets, to be ready for a war or just keep on prayin' for peace

If I never see the top til I'll see your face in my cleats

Then I will stomp you in the dirt, Lord forgive me for my dirt

I was raised in the church so I stop to pray and I preach

Sweet Home Alabama, but you ain't saying it sweet

I was born in the summer, might cop a place on the beach

That's the fruits of my labor, man, life is a fuckin' peach

It's a cold, cold world, we just tryna stay in the heat

I ain't never finished college, some things you just can't teach

I'm American, baby, hear the freedom in my speech

I'll be mad as a bitch, I don't sell a million at least

They worth a million a piece, that's one in a million me

Just call me crazy

Or one of a kind, yeah

July

[Outro]

They call me crazy

And that's fine

A lot of them I woulda died for are dead to me (Dead to me, dead to me)

Call me crazy

But I'm Clever as I'll ever be
