Closing Statement

[Verse 1]
Yea I'm sitting here with grit and tears inside my basement
Thinking bout my friends and all our recent hurtful statements
Don’t want to split but I predict that I'll see their erasements
I must admit I can't commit they seem to have replacements

I remember just a few years back
Some December from our childhoods where shit ain’t whack
Had a temper but we still went back
'Cause what mattered was that we'd get laughs, now I ain't see all that

Man we used to have the best times, before I had the best rhymes
Now we sit together all in silence just to pass time
Waste of time if you ask me
'Cause at the end of the day, it's just the same as being lonely

I wish only to relive the days that gone by
Maybe to prolong when I was strong using this song why
Did it go wrong, we got along for so long
I fucking hate this story wish I'd go back to the prologue

But I can't see through the thick fog, it clouds my mind
I can’t accept that all our memories are left behind
So much regret but yet acceptance at the same time
It’s just I kinda thought we'd be friends for a lifetime

But nothing lasts forever, gotta stick it through the weather
Take your time and know shit will get better
Everything is due for change and something new will rearrange
Everything I knew that isn’t true makes out for something strange

[Verse 2]
Fuck all the bullshit dig from deep down inside
I wrote this once I shotgunned down my favourite rye
I feel reawakened like when Eve bit off the apple
And now my biggest problems feel like even more to tackle

Fuck society and expectation that I get an education
In my generation it means nothing but a graduation
It's not preparation just a form of separation
And that's why I hope I make it out with salivation

All I heard through all my life is make it through the system
But now I thought it through again and tried a different wisdom
I don't want to spend my youth in class completing tests
Just to make it out and spend the rest of my life at a desk

I’ma put that shit to rest and as I tuck it into bed I
Start my journey to the top and take no rest like flying red eye
You'll know I'm the best right when I shoot my spit like dead eye
And you won't have a choice because I force that shit like Jedi

[Outro: Alan Watts]
My goodness, don't you remember when you went first to school?
You went to kindergarten
And kindergarten, the idea was to push along so that you could get into first grade
And then push along so that you could get into second grade, third grade, and so on
Going up and up and then you went to high school and this was a great transition in life
And now the pressure is being put on, you must get ahead
You must go up the grades and finally be good enough to get to college
And then when you get to college, you're still going step by step, step by step, up to the great moment in which you're ready to go out into the world

And then when you get out into this famous world
Comes the struggle for success in profession or business
And again, there seems to be a ladder before you
Something for which you're reaching for all the time
And then, suddenly, when you're about 40 or 45 years old, in the middle of life
You wake up one day and say “huh? I've arrived and, by Joe, I feel pretty much the same as I've always felt. In fact I'm not so sure that I don't feel a little bit cheated.”

Because, you see, you were fooled
You were always living for somewhere where you aren't
And while, as I said, it is of tremendous use for us
To be able to look ahead in this way and to plan
There is no use in planning for a future
Which when you get to it and it becomes the present you won't be there
You'll be living in some other future which hasn't yet arrived

And so in this way, one is never able actually to inherit and enjoy the fruits of one's actions
You can't live it all unless you can live fully now
