End of the Road (feat. Blackbear)

It's a long way home at the end of the road

I'll be pavin my own way

To the top, I'll be here to stay

So take my name, remember this face

Keep the change and have a nice day

And live for the moment, not by the past

Homie, live each day like it's your last

All my life, I couldn't fit in, like a bad shoe

I was always too square

Too cube, too tall, too weird, too blue

Forget them high-school hotties, now I'm too cool

I guess I came a long way from that young kid

The school's most popular lame

No friends, no style, no clothes, no ends

Just a bear fell asleep and never woke up again

Yeah, and my last prayer was

Don't ever let me end up like the people that's down here

'Cause the one that fear change be the one that don't care

Look at themselves and see somebody else in the mirror

But you can always pick me out of the crowd

Loud mouth with my very own style

And what I know now is don't ever pretend

And live every single day like you won't see it again

So take my name, remember this face

Keep the change and have a nice day

And live for the moment, not by the past

Homie live each day like it's your last

And if you only had 24 hours and 1400 minutes

Before your dream's gone that you better go live it

'Cause whatever you love could be taken away

So live like it's your dying day

I dedicate this to my teachers that never believed in me

And the mother that conceived, 'fore ended up leaving me

I just wish you all can see me smile

This big grin's on the TV now

And I took it from the bottom to the top

From the holes in my socks, ramen noodles in the pot

Used to rob 'em on the block, now they spot me in the drop

Middle finger up and that ain't gon' stop

I used to take orders, and now I make bets

I used to scrub floors, now I sign checks

I used to push carts, now I push songs

Yeah, I used to be there, now I am so gone

I found myself, found a job myself

Established my name, then I signed myself

And what I tell myself, is you did this by yourself

And when I'm on so long, I'll be by myself, gone

So take my name, remember this face

Keep the change and have a nice day

And live for the moment, not by the past

Homie, live each day like it's your last

And if you only have 24 hours, 1400 minutes

Before your dream's gone that you better go live it

'Cause whatever you love could be taken away

So live like it's your dying day

I wish I could see they faces when they heard your boy spit

Wish I could know what they thinking when they heard my first hit

'Cause I remember them wishing that I wouldn't get big

Now I bet they wishing they wouldn't have said that shit

I came out of a dying city, brought back life

Everything they said I couldn't do, I did 'bout twice

Multiplied that by the bottles that we popped each night

That equals out to a celebration, bitches more ice

Make it toast to the underdogs, toast to the team

Toast to the fact, we this close to the dream

Call one for my exes, used to talk reckless

But now I push Benzes and rock Rolex's

Came from the city and until they come and get me

Turn around and see the whole east side's still with me

And that's how we live it, you mans don't change

Look, and steal the keys, you still can't tell me a goddamn thing

So take my name, remember this face

Keep the change and have a nice day

And live for the moment, not by the past

Homie, live each day like it's the last

And if you only have 24 hours, 1400 minutes

Before your dream's gone that you better go live it

'Cause whatever you love could be taken away

So live like it's your dying day

Yeah, it's a long way home at the end of the road

I'll be pavin' my own way

To the top, I'll be here to stay

So take my name, remember this face

Keep the change and have a nice day

And live for the moment, not by the past

Homie, live each day like it's your last
