Anyway is the final track in the album Captain. Khary opens his mind with this song talking about some of his insecurity’s, getting rid of thoughts he has kept to himself. Originally this track was 12 minutes long but he didn’t release it since he didn’t want people to get bored of it.
[Intro]
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
[Chorus: Khary]
There's no use trying
You won't like me
Anyway
Anyway
There's no use fighting
You won't like me
Anyway
Anyway
[Verse 1: Khary]
(Yeah)
Why do I try to be someone that I'm not?
An introvert, I trip when steppin' outside my box
I hate that my tone is fake when talkin' to someone fake
They probably think I like them, while slitherin' like a snake (Sss...)
Like, why do I keep savin' all these numbers in my phone?
Of people sayin' "Let's get up", we both know that we won't
I swear I got a million contacts, I probably only contact twenty
The other half askin' me for money
My time is too precious for these hoes (Hoes)
Mi casa, su casa? Nigga, no
You speakin' that Chewbacca, I'm a trotter of the globe
The el chupacabra will not suck the blood up out this G.O.A.T.
Stick the dismount for the gold, and everybody cheers
But I'm thinkin' that what I really want is what I fear (Fear)
'Cause I got closer, but I want to run away
I don't feel like bein' me today, yeah
[Chorus: Khary]
There's no use trying
You won't like me
Anyway
Anyway
There's no use fighting
You won't like me
Anyway
Anyway
[Verse 2: Cloud Atrium]
Did you do it different this time? (Uh, uh)
Ready for the world through the scope of your eyes
Feelin' dead alive, I'm steady shiftin' (Uh, uh)
Askin' what's on my playlist? My intuition
Started addin' everything up, and I see the difference
From lettin' people in and out, the windows tinted, uh, Lord, forgive us
Innocence left the building when conditionin', and
Played the victim first, I wonder, who did this to him?
Out of control, will he let it grow? I never know
Never had much of a rock, too many steppin' stones
But one glance in the Iris, there's many roads
Doing cardio with heavy souls
Memory jog, hand-in-hand, time spans, connection thin
Here for a moment, then gone when the minute ends
But my soul too large for a small attention span
Guess it is what it is when it hit the fan, and-
[Chorus: Khary & Cloud Atrium, both ]
There's no use trying (Trying)
You won't like me (Like me, mm-mm)
Anyway
Anyway (Anyway)
There's no use fighting (Fighting, uh)
You won't like me (Like me)
Anyway (Anyway, anyway)
Anyway ('Way, 'way, anyway)
[Interlude: Khary]
*deep exhale*
*audible breathing*
[Verse 3: Khary]
Imagine you had a dream since you were sixteen
Imagine you had the schemes since you were sixteen
And you told yourself you'd do anything for it, but do you even love it?
Do you want to abort? I mean-
Like...
Everything seems so fuckin' ego-driven, mm
Tryna be the things my heroes didn't
Tryna see things like Stevie Wonder- with my eyes closed
I mean, I try to pose
For these pictures, but I'm not happy
I'm just rappin'
But do these words even mean shit in the end?
Uh
One day, we all have to become has-beens
Has-been, I mean, I'm tryna get it right
I mean, I'm on this fuckin' road, I mean, I'm tryna do it right
I mean, I never had a clue, and I'm just tryna do a—
I wanna break this fuckin' glass in my hand
And stare at the pain
And see if it hurts the same
And just, stare at the pain
And see if it hurts the same, uh
I want to die, but I'm not suicidal
'Cause I don't know what I should live for
I don't know if I should give more
I just take and watch the world burn down
Like Rome, am I Nero?
In his eyes, he's a hero
Feel lower than zero
Negative numbers, I have to start to wonder, uh
What makes me special?
What makes you special?
I met a girl, pretty lovely, I don't think she loves me
But I talk to her anyway, on different days
'Cause I don't even feel connected
When we fuckin'
I feel like I stick my dick in a empty vessel
I say some shit just to test you
You say you want to get close, I don't believe you
Because most women are ghosts, I mean, I see through
I mean, I- I mean, I see through
Uh
I put up a facade, like I'm a god
Put up a facade, like I'm a god
But I'm so insecure, I don't know myself, I don't feel my—
*breathing in* —I don't feel myself
The way I probably should, the way I do on songs, that's why it's not that good
When I fake it... I mean, these songs don't mean shit
I mean, these songs don't mean shit
I mean, these songs don't mean shit
I mean, these songs don't mean shit
I mean, these songs don't mean shit— *deep exhale*
I'm just thinkin' about shit I already said
What if I'm not livin'? I'm already dead?
What if this all just exists in my head? I swear, I'm bein' honest
I swear, I'm bein' honest
[Bridge: Khary]
One plus one says
I don't like me, yeah
See, use- there's no use trying
I don't like me, yeah
I don't like me, yeah
There's no use trying, yeah
I don't like me, yeah
There's no use trying
There's no use trying
I don't like me...
There's no use trying
I don't like me!
There's no use trying
'Cause I don't like me!
There's no use trying
'Cause I don't like me!
You won't like me!
There's no use trying!
There's no use try-
Yeah
[Verse 4: Khary]
Legend has it, there was a Intern and a Captain
But I don't know what happened, uh
One was too humble, and one was too arrogant
Couldn't tell he's his parent's kid
The son of two college professors
Dropped out, still tryna to do better
Still tryna see whether
But you can't predict the forecast
I'm just here while it lasts
Puff, puff, I'm takin' a drag
Life is a drag, I'm feelin' so bad
Like Michael Jack-
-son, on the wall, no, I'm off of it
I mean, I got a lot of things in my mind, I don't like the politic—
I used to watch the news
But now I watch myself in the mirror with the blues
They say "Hip hop's different"
It's not the music that I used to listen to
Swear, I'm like a different you
Yeah, yeah
[Outro: Khary]
No use trying
You won't like me
Any-way-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
