In The End

(album: How We Intended - 2021)

Couple of Peronis for the pain, yeah yeah
One sign it's infectious, strike again, yeah yeah
Every time I spill I leave a stain, yeah yeah
Fuck it, oversharing is my thing, yeah yeah
Take em all and make a potluck
They want automate your knowledge
Look, that shit be a little behind the 1, homie you got it
These experts do a lot just to replicate your novice
Sometimes seeking knowledge more helpful than if you got it
But we be scared to look, cause we scared to find
All those actions need a voice, we so pantomime
All that cappin is a choice, you could bare your soul
I be barin mine but I ain't bet on my habits be very savage
Green tea and a new book
Wonder if I'll make it past page 30
Wonder if I'll make it past age 30
Self-love shelf life expire mad early

This for the days that we never had
This for all the ways we regret the past
We were runnin late but we'd get to class
They done give us less but we ain't never mad
We gon be there in the end
Hope you there to see us win
Hope you there to see us win
It's a real G lullaby

It's never gon look like how you planned it
But in every disadvantage there's a way to take advantage
In the end it matters the principles you were standing on in the beginning
Otherwise losing look like winning
And sinning look like given and this map ain't nothin like how I drew it out but fuck, I'm in it
Spent a lot of time mad at myself, more at the ignorance
Before I'm givin, I gotta be forgiving of myself and you and our ineptitudes
My true self ain't you
Your true self ain't me and I know that anger is pain
Know that shallow is shame
Our lives couldn't be more different some our battles the same
Know that's a fact, son
And they could still get slapped
But real ones know that tough shit pussy next to compassion
I know the "why" I'm here, I'm workin on the "how"
But you get to the end by focusing on the now

This is for the days that we never had
This for all the ways we regret the past
We were runnin late but we'd get to class
They done give us less but we ain't never mad
We gon be there in the end
We gon be there in the end
Hope you there to see us win
It's a real G lullaby
