Last Laugh

(albüm: Kintsugi - 2020)

They said that I wouldn't amount to nothing
But look at me now
I get the last laugh
So when people joke and smile
I'll go the extra mile
Just to get the last laugh
They said I wouldn't go nowhere with music
Now I'm touring overseas
With the last laugh
So go head hate or doubt
I know someway, somehow
Imma get the last laugh

How many times, did I write out these lines
Just to keep myself going convince myself I was fine
Tried to gift them a vision but way too many were blind
Saw the life they were living and knew that couldn't be mine
Knew I was destined for more than breaking down on that floor
Your kindness taken for weakness will shake you down to your core
Move your eyes to the heavens and wonder what was it for
That's when I looked to the messages I was spreading before
Cause I still do this for the kids who sit a bit outside the mix
The ones who cope through humor just to fit in for a bit
The ones who come to shows and get too nervous for a pic
Till we talk and I'm reminded why I truly live for this

They said that I wouldn't amount to nothing
But look at me now
I get the last laugh
So when people joke and smile
I'll go the extra mile
Just to get the last laugh
They said I wouldn't go nowhere with music
Now I'm touring overseas
With the last laugh
So go head hate or doubt
I know someway, somehow
Imma get the last laugh

We get caught up in our dreams start to live for all our plans
Start forgetting bout the present while it's slipping through our hands
Rarely take a moment to appreciate what is
Future, past is in the mind the present's all there really is
Got a tattoo on my hand to shove the present in my face
I'm here everywhere I go I know this life is not a race
The finish line is death and me I'd really like to live
So if that ain't in the present when the hell do I exist
Yes I'm pretty blessed to get to live a crazy dream
They were laughing at the start but now I'm laughing off the streams
And I'm proud of anyone who knows the power that they hold
But it's the journey not the destination where you find the gold

They said that I wouldn't amount to nothing
But look at me now
I get the last laugh
So when people joke and smile
I'll go the extra mile
Just to get the last laugh
They said I wouldn't go nowhere with music
Now I'm touring overseas
With the last laugh
So go head hate or doubt
I know someway, somehow
Imma get the last laugh
