Song Description

The song was written at a time when Def Manic felt at his lowest. He literally felt stuck in the music industry and also with life in general. He needed to get something out there that would reflect that and act as a way for him to find the inspiration and power within to get over his fears and obstacles so he can achieve his goals. "Stuck In The Moment" is inspiring in many ways, he reflects on the issues he has with himself as well as the things around him like alcohol, the music industry and failed relationships which he puts all behind him and keeps focused so he can reach his dreams. He hopes to inspire people going through the same issues as he shows them that there is more to life and that there are ways to get out of any slump, if you believe in yourself. He opens up to his fans on this track, showing us that he is still human, with emotions and feelings, which gives it that personal factor which people can relate to.

Lyrics

[Chorus]
Stuck in the moment,
I'm stuck in the moment, it's true, yeah, yeah,
Stuck in the moment, it's true, yeah, yeah,
I don't know what this future's holding,
That's why I live each moment like it's golden,
My destiny I'm holding, I'm, Stuck in the moment,
I'm stuck in the moment, it's true, yeah, yeah.

[Verse 1]

So I'm stuck in the moment,
I'm sitting back and I'm still hoping,
Lord got my eyes really open where I'm still,
Gettin' to the back with chit chat,
Got my hat back and I back track,
My weariness taught me 3 things,
You gotta be original, drunk night's subliminal,
Movements be pivotal,
Never really cry for pain, mane,
So, I stunt like Baby and I work like Wayne,
Now let's pursue the Trojan of the game, yep,
I'm just a kid, living on a dream what's to hate on
that?
I know I shouldn't interact, with the 151 still having fun,
and the, love still craving some,
It's like I'm Original Minded, like KRS One when he
first started,
I'm the only artist to do this shit regardless to,
Bounce, we bounce to this, searching for the lifestyle,
Ignorant bliss,
We rockstars with a priceless ring,
If you wanna party then let's go,
Got the best droe,
Concentration low,
We cruising, window's down playing Joe, and a bit of J
Cole,
Rest in peace Nate Dogg, we gon' lay low, yep.

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

This ain't Lupe, so it don't really matter,
It's the good die young, and the beats get fatter,
I disregard females who look for sex round town,
Man I'm living faster then I would in my 20s, Damn I
gotta slow down,
Nah I don't throw down, business plans just to win this
crowd,
I'm still rocking a Snapback, fresh kicks, high tops,
Sweatshirts,
But they don't understand me like my Pops when he had
his f-face straight in the dirt,
Gotta love this new generation lil kids, cause I pushed
the gap,
I do my thing, I always stay humble but I never really
try to react to all this hate like that,
But life is funny like that,
Got love for Mary Jane like Peter Parker do, but but,
If you mess with me, you won't care what I've been
through,
Still got love for Miami Heat although they on that
losing streak,
But I stay blessed and I stay winning, on another
planet my head is spinning.

[Verse 3]
N-never really, L-literally, don't waste what u got
only living it once,
My life's a movie with numerous puns, and I know, I
know,
Man these girls are boring to conversate with, I just
want all of ya'll just to come and sing,
This could be something weak, but it's this beat that's
making it amazing, but I love this,
Insane drop, with a lil' in the middle and I never
stop,
Astronaut speed try fly to the top,
I go out and forget to text my Moms,
Man I just wanna go to Vegas and see the palms, right
now this is just me rapping on some crazy stupid other
thing, damn,
Still dreaming bout success as if I'm sleeping on Mars,
I chill and work when I can never really claim the best
bars, Reptar in the flesh,
So do you really want to see me to be the next?
But I keep living life according to my plan, I never really cared about "Yes Man".

[Chorus]
