The final song on the project, Order Of Events
A dark Hip-Hop song, the hook reads almost as a mantra to self as Gates begins the track talking about future success. However, towards the end Gates takes a lyrical turn and tackles themes of career struggle and poverty
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
Only good things ever happen to me
It's not the way it goes
It's more the way you see
It's meant to be
Mentally
I'm flying high into the sky
You pass me by
And I won't die
I'll thrive while glad to be alive
See the water, dive
Cop it, it's twenty five
He gon' cheat and just lie
It's life, I'm a star, not a wife
Love the cut, like a knife, bleed
Sitting on the street, feeling lost on your own block
Sitting in the crib, booling out with the whole flock
Don't lose it baby
Breathe in
Breathe out
What's your life really about
Let it go
Don't you know?
[Hook]
Only good things ever happen to me
It's not the way it goes
It's more the way you see
It's meant to be
It's meant to be
As it should, life is good
Quit the nic, fuck a wood
Sure I fell, but I stood
Like I knew that I could
I'm a real one
Fuck you know 'bout that
You talkin' real hot shit, better up that back
Smoke crack, crack rocks
Sleeping up on the street
Give up a bite to eat
Then turn round, hit the feet
We not safe, this world is full of uncocked guns and foul play
Good luck getting your way
Don't let them get away with no stupid shit they say
You always make them pay
Don't let the evil stay`
It's meant to be
It's meant to be
[Outro]
Only good things ever happen to me
