[intro]
nah, it’s over man whatever
no, it’s done
i can’t, change it no more
it’s done

[verse 1]
yeah, you’re out again wasted, wasting your time
reminiscing on the last time, you tried using your valuable time
to act right, will you learn?
will u+turn it around, no?
oh, how will you turn your pastime into bankable notes?
on an annual note, nah these are fantasy hopes
please don’t be mad at me though
but, see you need have an actual goal
why can’t you just be average, oh
simply act as you’re told
relapse back to status’ quote
you have adapted that road
no, don’t go after the whole
fallible fallacy you’re attracted to, no
your hopes have blown, way out of
way out of, way out of proportion

[post+verse 1]
you know here’s a safer place
than to go out and, go and chase
it’s safer to get a degree, than rapping over beats
you know simple life, nine to five, eat and go to sleep
go find yourself a wife, and set your child up for life, you know
yeah i know, i’m just not sure
if that’s what i want
no, it’s not what i want
[chorus]
i know better days, better days are on their way
know better than to complain, know that keeps ’em away
but some sh+t don’t make sense like making the same mistakes
maybe it’s best to leave some things unexplained but

[post+chorus]
i know better than that, come on
i know better than that, come on
i know better than that, come on
man, i know better than that

[verse 2]
well, it started the day before if i’ma tell this right
they asked, will you come visit grandma, it’s been a while?
i said she won’t even recognize my face, why bother?
my mother starts trippin’ out
i meant, i have an exam, so can’t, but tell her i love her mom!
the straight face i kept in that situation sure as h+ll is breaking now
’cause, oh do i remember how she smiled at me like
“oh, for that reason it’s fine”
and believed me without a doubt
oh don’t how, judging my past, i mean, uniquely v’been decent
but, haven’t you seen me recently, that routine didn’t last
speaking truthfully i refuse to see her
’cause if these pupils meet her glance
she’ll see right through me, unlike you she knew
ah f+ck i can’t, look at me, don’t look!
it’s pathetic how i stand, here corrected
“we’re leaving now”
alright…
“love you, goodbye!
now, hurry back to your lecture
good luck with your test”
thanks, how that door, closed, never forget it
why, do i always let it get to this?
thought last time i promised myself i’d fix this sh+t
but here i am, deja vu, nothing new, it’s f+cking stupid
why don’t i get caught?
i’m at the same f+cking rendezvous
[post verse 2]
’cause once a fool, fools everyone else (everyone else)
it’s his turn to lose (his turn to lose)
can’t fool himself (no, no, no)
oh, once a fool’s fooled everyone else
he’ll turn to lose… (too much pride to turn himself in)
himself in the pain

[verse 3]
(phone rings, left unanswered)
what’s another missed call, what’s another day gone?
well, i’ll you what it is, it’s the ingredients
for another bad, intentionally sad song
huh, like little do i know, whoever i created this for
may play this once, and then move on
but, the agony i pass on the, people d+mned to leave
is trapped between, the love i have for you, and for song
twelve steps down to the bas+m+nt only on occasion
do i trip, when i skip a step
guessing which leg i’ma end up breaking
right, left? i’m hesitating, lose a second’s last in racing
but, fast+is slow, and slow is+fast
s’what my dad’s been saying
taking shortcuts is your greatest shortage of information
this source beyond my lack of literacy, this involves four cases
being misinformed, falling short, hitting walls, think oh’ll never make it
when did showing off the climb, beat the epiphanies i find in failing
[post+verse 3]
(blank)
looking for inspiration (and then i blank)
scarred my heart, looked too far (and then i blank)
i feel my will escaping, where do i start
what is my part to play (lost my purpose meditating)

[verse 4]
like what’s the meaning of anything anyway?
these days, the weight of their interpretation’s based on the fame in your name
so, technically could say whatever in whatever way
but, technically’s never case, when a reputation’s at stake
oh, no, my face must be saved
even if only stayed, in, imagination
after close examination of the brain
still, a selfish helpless stranger with an obligation to explain
but, protecting myself now, just delays the payment of shame
at dinner table, thinking hey will i open up
that i’m in a rut, and i’m f+cking stuck?
“hey son, what is up? did it go well?”
ah, ah yeah, yeah, it, it went, went great
“the questions, like you expected?”
yeah, you know what, i’ll tell you some other day…
“okay that’s fine, what about the rest of your day
did you get to do something you like?
you’ve worked really hard
and that music thing you do, spoke about you in the car
we’re so proud you, and we love you for who you are!”
what?
“your dream, you pursue it with so much heart
do yourself a favor, protect it at all costs!”
it’s so overwhelming, i can’t tell if they’re serious
or if they figured sh+t, what they expected is a, lost cause

[post+verse 4]
oh, i too wish i fit in the crowd
is it too late now, have i let you down?
talking with my brother about
making our family proud, without losing yourself…

[verse 5]
i see the meaning in every mistake made
the moment you almost collapsed, and your knees gave way
obviously, something’s wrong, but got no idea, what’s going on
as i try help you, can’t help, but reflect on the conversation that sparked this song
like nothing’s promised, so love the ones you’ve got
’cause you don’t know, for how much longer you’ve got ’em
so pardon ’em for any conflict, there’s already so much of it
apologies animosity’s hostage, until they slip out of conscious

[post+verse 5]
now, you tell me your problems?
’cause what i’ve lost isn’t…
sinking in, ’till it’s sunk to the bottom
would you dive a hard bargain with karma
if that pressure sent you back as a fossil?
why don’t you catch it before it falls any further?
oh great, now, you can’t be bothered

[interlude]
i always knew
it’d take hitting rock bottom
to get me to be honest, i pray
it’s not, too late to change

[finale]
(don’t be too late to tell ‘em you love)
i know there’s a better place
a better place for you to stay
i’m just asking hey could you help me know better and lead the way
that’s my last question for you
thank you, for everything
because of you, i know better now

[outro]
take a moment, and appreciate
what you, have
