The Owner (Postlude)

[Verse 1: Bumps INF]
Uh (Uh)
I act like y'all don't believe that it's true (True)
But the paper in front of me is the proof, uh
I've just been hoping things would improve
But ever since this Covid thing, man, I think that I'm screwed (Screwed)
Yeah, all the things that are due
Penalties, paying fees, the OT that accrued
Paychecks that I still owe employees and include
I gotta bring in the news that officially we are doomed
'Cuz the diner is closing up permanently and soon
I think we're bеing removed a couple weeks into Junе, uh
From my office I take a seat, book a view, uh
My morning team and they serving people their food
And all I'm thinking is "Crew, have you even a clue
What looms in the news that you'll receive pretty soon?" (Soon)
Yeah, I don't think that you do
And these are decent people, man: what are we gonna do?
Uh, yeah, so emotional I have to sit
In total disbelief like, "Yo, this can't be it"
For almost thirty years I ran this here establishment
Just like the last two generations of my family did
We weren't exactly rich, but the plan was to have some kids
And pass it to them, just like my Gramps and daddy did
Yeah, all of those dreams are over now
Sorry, I failed you, pops, I feel like a total clown
I was hoping that as I got older that my folks be proud
Of who I become if anything as an only child
Yeah, but I know deep down that you won't be now
Because I failed you all and the proof is we closing down
Now I'm scared 'cuz if I'm honest, I'm not prepared
I don't know how to share what my staff is about to hear
Yeah, and when to tell them the outcome here
Maybe tomorrow, but we can figure it out from there (Out from there)
