Throughout “finale,” Eric has an emotional back and forth between himself and his alter ego, Dante Red. The song is a conversation between the two in which Eric informs Dante that he will be letting him go. There is a continuous change in vocals throughout the song to distinguish between the two, Da...
[Intro: dante red & ericdoa]
I watched you grow as a person
I saw every move that you did
Every accolade, every achievement, I was there for
You think I don't know that?
I know you were, it's just- it's not in my control anymore
I can't, I can't control it
So what are you gonna do, abandon everything you started with?
No, no, that's not my intention at all, I'm not abandoning anything
You saw what life was like before any of this
I need to eat, I need to do things
And if that means I can't, you know, do the things that I did with you before then-
It sucks, but that's just the way things have to go
I get it, fuck you dude
Bro, come on, don't
Alright
[Chorus: dante red & ericdoa]
Jigs up, I don't wanna fight but put your fists up
Bitcrushed, signed a piece of paper, now you switchеd up
I blew you up, if it wasn't for my song, you wouldn't see the bucks
Beat him up, no, I can't gеt betrayed, you can't be with us
Oh, it's like that?
Paint me as a monster, guess it's my bad
Sidetracked, I gotta let you go to get my mind back
Fuck you, everybody knows that I loved you
So did I, I'm the only one that understand your mind
[Verse 1: dante red & ericdoa]
Try to take me out, then that's a bad move (Huh)
Just like everyone I knew that you would act new (Huh)
Man, why come at me? I never would attack you
Separation, that's the only thing that cash do
To be honest, don't wan' end tonight
You're supposed to be a friend of mine
I would never end up switching sides
If I kill you, then it's suicide
So how you gonna do it right?
I was there for "do or die"
I just wanna see you shine
And now I'm gettin' left behind
If it's the end of you, then it's the end of me
Don't want my only friend to be my enemy
I try my hardest to protect you
But if I wanna be an artist, gotta dead you
Oh, okay
What you mean that we can't do it together?
Wh-Wh-When I'm with you, I swear things always better
I'm glad you think that it's better
But in my mind think it's worse
People think that I'm you
And that comparison hurts
It's not what I deserve
Then what do you want?
It's better than an artist fuckin' putting you on
You did this all by yourself
You didn't need any help
[Chorus: dante red & ericdoa]
Jigs up, I don't wanna fight but put your fists up
Bitcrushed, signed a piece of paper, now you switched up
I blew you up, if it wasn't for my song, you wouldn't see the bucks
Beat him up, no, I can't get betrayed, you can't be with us
Oh, it's like that?
Paint me as a monster, guess it's my bad
Sidetracked, I gotta let you go to get my mind back
Fuck you, everybody knows that I loved you
So did I, I'm the only one that understand your mind
[Verse 2: dante red & ericdoa]
No matter what happens just know, I'm still here
On the angels around me, you'll have a good year
And the same to you
If it was up to me, then I would change the rules
Man, just forget about that, focus on your bag
Ayy, history repeat itself, just know I'm coming back
Ha, I guess that's facts
You can meet me at the dropoff for one last laugh
(Hahaha, you're funny)
