Still Speakin' (Black Milk's Outro)

(альбом: Funhouse Mirror - 2019)

Hello, and in a sense, goodbye
Don't know if I was meant to win but I was meant to try
Try and make sense of it all in a senseless time
Shit, the clock's ticking, stop tripping
Hot diggity, silly me got a live vision
They tried to tell me you would not listen
Better keep it not twisted
Optionless homie, this was not given
But I love a fat ass when the plot thicken, woah
I done found my own way around my ways
I could see a lot when I close my eyes
And it still hurts all the time these days
But I need the pain to define my smile
So I want to tell you it'll be alright
It'll be ok
But would you believe me?
I can't promise that it will but it can though
A broken boy to an imperfect man, though
And here I am, though
Yeah, here I am
I wanna thank y'all for coming out man
It really means so fucking much to me
It only gets better from here
Hopefully
What does "doper" mean in the land of dopamine fiends?
Clamoring for hits of a self-image of what others value
I'm less worried what amounts now more what I'll amount to
So keep going fam, keep climbing Mount You
I'm beginning round two of finding myself
Shit, round 1 was a doozy
I think it's weird when we always say some shit was a movie
As if we aspire to be less real than we really are
You say a word long enough and it don't sound right
If you look at You for long enough, you might not recognize You
In this world that's designed to distract, not inspire you
It's hard to know that you for real, but I had to try to
And it's bleak, but defeat I don't speak
History gonna read what I bleed on these beats
Who I was, who I be, in pursuit to be free, to be me
To my core, my obliques made of golden resilience
Frozen in realness, my goals supercilious
But know I'mma build this for all us to be best
Want you to know it's cool to reject
It's ok to dissent
It's alright to emote
And homie, it's fine to regret
As long as you don't lose hope and you gon' play to the end
Shit, and I'm far from finished
I hope all I've witnessed is the prologue to prolonged forgiveness to all those thought I was tripping
Shit, and if I only get fifteen minutes, then I'mma say what I need 'em to hear
I vow to never let this hope disappear
Shit, I think I've finally broken the mirror
