Last Laugh

[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Found out welts make wit
The shelf make hits, we self-made men
Stealth pay bills, few well-placed licks
Gotta talk in person still, you know the 'net sank ships
And the work thankless, still grateful
Can't get caught in that, these niggas tryna take it
If I'ma have my back, then really gotta face this
Optimism with some moderation
I ain't different from nobody gravesite thankfully
Greatest fear is that the spotlight changing me
Or that it's nothing and my people rest ain't in piece
Whatever judgement day, just wear your brave face
Already know we gon' be passing notes faithfully
And laughing so hard it hurts
Yeah, laughing so hard it hurts

[Verse 2]
Yeah, God be joning on me, I be jonesing for another spliff
He give another day of life and the bullshit that come with it
Laughing so hard it hurt, nigga think he a comedian
I'm doubled over in tears, they point, howl, and beat on me
On tour, wowed by all the scenery and what it mean to be
A second-class citizen, seen why they wrote the Green Book
Learned that you could pack a hundred cash, even a mean hook
To fight to death over what we got left, they still don't see you
Invisible man, fists is solid, dentures lifting up the skin on my hand
Was on my college campus attached to that blick, niggas playin'
She just DMed, she really tryna scratch that itch when she land
They know I'm him, ain't have no clout or coins, but niggas demand
They piled us in an hourglass, we just been kicking the sand
In niggas' faces, they complacent, all a part of the crash
Love way outweighing the trust, just showed my mama the stash
If niggas ever talked uncareful, they start walking it back
Made the mistake of acting careless, my last spark in the trash
By the time I smelled it running, yelling, it resolved into ash
When I seen these other niggas puzzles, ain't try solving mine fast
Got no regrets about effect, I see the cause in my past
Don't want acknowledgment or debts, respect is all that I ask
The routes I ran in Charlotte carved into the small of my back
My daily mental plus addiction feel like crawling through tacks
My ancestors busy, I hit 'em and they calling me back
Laughing so hard it hurt, I wonder if they hate us yet
We made 'em build our playground out of bayonets
Everything I need to say to smile, start crying, saying it
This tape my only taped confession
Laughing so hard it hurts

[Outro]
We comin', baby, we comin', baby
We just runnin' a little late
We just gettin' a few things together
It ain't much to do
I promise it's gonna be so easy to resurrect you
You don't need nothin', you don't need this world
You don't even need me
