about

Penjamin & I probably wrote this song in '08. I know that sounds crazy, but so many songs get buried & never released. The original beat was done by his homie Kevin "K-Jizzle" Dawson in Atlanta. Stephen reconstructed the feel when he wrote the music & we made room for J Gray.

My verse was written about that intense feeling of being madly in love, borderline obsessed. When you're there, you might even neglect other parts of your life. You're blinded. Nothing else matters that much. When you're willing to do ANYthing to please that person. That feeling doesn't happen often, but when it does...

lyrics

INTRO (G O A T)
ooo...when I think about you
I've been thinkin' 'bout you way too much lately

VERSE I (Penjamin Franklin)
when I think about you, girl
& that sweet smell & that purty skin
soft shell, I want us mo' than friends
oh well, that's just how it is
hard to breathe, but I know I'll live
take a part of me every time you dip
taste ya scent & I can feel ya lips
making hard for me to live like this
when i think about you, girl, my troubles seem to mute
you're the only thang my brain will even let itself compute
& I'm scared to death that you don't feel the same way
friends take bets I'll never see the day
stuck alone & in disarray
searching for the right words to say
lost & confused & will i get it right or do i play to lose?
either way, I'm gonna make a move
& tell ya how I feel & that i care for you, be there for you
that's how it is & so I pray one day you'll get it
& when i think about you, girl, feels like my heart is missing
I want you with me miss, three kids & a picket fence
two dogs, mini van for trips, a yard with acreage
got me in denial like an atheist
so either come to me or please make it quit
I'm tired of dreamin' of a world where you don't exist

CHORUS (G O A T)
ooo...when I think about you...when I think about you
...when I think about you...when I think about you
...when I think about you, yeah...

VERSE II (J Gray)
when I think about you, I flash a smile I never had in my life
I look around this old world, these girls got nothing on my wife
I think about God, how art works, how the shape shifts in the light
how the curvature of them earthen eyes make my rocket want to ignite
I think about you, I think about a thousand blessings
forget about the mess that I made in my younger years with a hundred beers & a million questions
& my quest ends & my dream sits under snares right ‘fore that bass hits
kick connect to my heartbeat 'til I'm gushin' all on these pages
or I'm cooking up in that kitchen...dinner done but I'm bakin'
still the same one you first met, yet we grow, we change &
that's beautiful & that's deep - it's teaching both of us patience
so I'm paintin' all of my dreams with Sarah in 'em...& that’s maintenance
you the A to Z in my alphabet - figure 8 turned sideways,
my shotgun in that Bonnie seat when I'm Clyde-in' out with my high ways
when I'm irate, you the valium...deep breath, my ten count,
my medication, my meditation, my home safe where it goes doooown

CHORUS (G O A T)

VERSE III (G O A T)
when I'm up in the bed with you, love is immeasurable, everything's alright
although it seems I'm in a dream, I hope I don't wake up after this night
& when I get up, all my problems gon' be still there,
but when I'm witchu, little lady, I just don't care
it's rare...for me to feel like this about a female
matter of fact, my mentality's never been here
& I try to stray my brain away from things that derail my thoughts, but hey
I can't blame nobody, but myself - you help me stay sane through the worst of rain, hey
what can I say, I fiend for the way she stares at me
over the top of her glasses, gotta remind myself to breathe
& I love it when I find bobby pins all over my crib
on my couch, under my pillows, behind & under my bed
I've told you before, when you want it, girl, you ain't gotta waste time
clinch your fist in my hair, push my head down south of your waist line
yes maam, I wanna please you in every way I can
understand...it's simple...permanently...I wanna be your man...

CHORUS OUT (G O A T)
when I think about you, gotta remind myself to breathe
when I think about you, you're the one I want to bear my seed
I've been thinkin' 'bout you way too much lately, baby
you take me away from the pain
when I think about you, gotta remind myself to breathe
when I think about you, you're the one I want to bear my seed
I've been thinkin' 'bout you way too much lately, baby
you take me away from the pain
...you take me away from the pain
...you take me away from the pain
...away from the pain
