End of the Road (feat. Blackbear)

Yeah, it’s a long way home at the end of the road

I’ll be pavin my own way, to the top, I be here to stay

So take my name, remember this face, keep the change and have a nice day

And live for the moment, not by the past, homie live each day like it’s your last

All my life, I couldn’t fit in, like a bad shoe

I was always too square, too cube, too tall, too weird, too blue

Forget them high-school’s hotties now I’m too cool

I guess I came a long way from that young kid

The school’s most popular lame, no friends, no style, no clothes, no ends

Just a bed fell asleep, never woke up again

Yeah, and my last prayer was don’t ever let me end up like the people that’s down here

Cause the one that fear change be the one that don’t care

Look at themselves and see somebody else in the mirror

But you can always pick me out of the crowd

Loud mouth with my very own style

And what I know now is don’t ever pretend

And live every single day like you won’t see it again

So take my name, remember this face, keep the change and have a nice day

And live for the moment, not by the past, homie live each day like it’s your last

And if you only have 24 hours, 1400 minutes before your dreams go

Then you better go live it, cause whatever you love could be taken away

So live like it’s your dying day

I dedicate this to my teachers that never believed in me

And the mother that conceived, but ended up leaving me

I just wish you all can see me smile, this big’s grin on the tv now

And I took it from the bottom to the top

From the holes in my socks ramen noodles in the pot

Used to rob them on the block, now they stop me in the drop

Middle finger up and that ain’t gonna stop

I used to take orders, now I make bets

I used to scrub floors, now I sign checks

I used to push carts, now I push songs

I used to be there, now I am so gone

I fired myself, found a job myself

Established my name and then I signed myself

And what I tell myself, is you did this by yourself

And when I'm on so long, I’ll be by myself

So take my name, remember this face, keep the change and have a nice day

And live for the moment, not by the past, homie live each day like it’s the last

And if you only have 24 hours, 1400 minutes before your dreams go

Then you better go live it, cause whatever you love could be taken away

So live like it’s your dying day

I wish I could see their faces when they heard your boy speak

Wish I could know what they’re thinking when they heard my first hit

Cause I remember them wishing that I wouldn’t get big

Now I bet they’re wishing they wouldn't of said that shit

I came out of a dying city brought back life

Everything they said I couldn’t do I did about twice

Multiplied by the bottles that we popped each night

That equals out to a celebration, bitches more ice

Make it toast to the underdogs, toast to the team

Toast to the fact, we this close to the dream

Pour one for my exes, used to talk reckless

But now I push Benzes and rock Rolexes

Came from the city and until they come and get me

Turn around and see the whole east side’s still with me

And that’s how we live it, you mans don’t change

Look, it's still the kid, still can’t tell me a goddamn thing

So take my name, remember this face, keep the change and have a nice day

And live for the moment, not by the past, homie live each day like it’s the last

And if you only have 24 hours, 1400 minutes before your dreams go

Then you better go live it, cause whatever you love could be taken away

So live like it’s a dying day

Yeah, it’s a long way home at the end of the road

I’ll be pavin my own way, to the top, I be here to stay

So take my name, remember this face, keep the change and have a nice day

And live for the moment, not by the past, homie live each day like it’s your last
