At the end of the day you have to be true to you.

lyrics

"At the End of the Day"

(Chorus)
When it's all said and done
My blessings will keep coming
Can't care what they say
At the end of the day
Gotta do it my way
Won't no one give me nothing
All my troubles fade away
At the end of the day

(Verse 1)
We start our days seeing sun rays
Rise out of bed to start the work ahead
Begin getting dressed with these thougts in our head
Like "what [we] should wear if other people care"
You wanna rock Reeboks but they say that's wack
So you put on the Nikes though they're scuffed and scratched
You wanna be the cat that wears trucker hats
But you pick the New Era cause they fuck with that
You wanted dreads but ya pops said
That they weren't becoming
So keep waves even though they look funny
At the bus stop you see the girl
That youre crushing on for so long
But ain't talked to all
Dont wanna seem wrong when you come across
So you say nothin' to not risk a loss
You go to school when you get their you feel lost
'Cause though you fit in it's at what cost, ya feel me

(Chorus)

(Verse 2)
You're in college in a major you don't even like
To even stay awake in the class is a fight
They tell you "you'll get paid!" "it's a sacrifice"
But that cash goes to debts that you get in life
All the loans, cars, and homes
Don't wanna do accounting
You wanna write poems
But if you dropped out you'd get knocked out
By ya parents disappointing them you wouldn't dare it
So... Grit and bear it
Yea thats ya motto..
Live for today hope for better tomorrow
Go to church Sunday, pray to who be hallowed
You never thought it was true but everyone do
So you do too just to fit in
A sheep to the Lord's shephard
Do you get it?
You exist in the world but you feel lost
'Cause you blend in
But at what cost, ya feel me

(Chorus)

You come home, shower, then look in the mirror
Do you like who's in the picture?
Are you are who you are
Or what they wish ya to be
Livin' ya life or someone else dream
At the end of the day what does everything mean?
You're born then you leave with some years in between
Now how that times used is pertinent
But we fill it up with the superfluous
I learned a bit since death I flirted with
Yea, you heard of it
Now that extraneous shit ion't worry with
Fears: I murdered it; shot 'em dead
Now Top is scared of what no one says
I only hear voices in my head like a schitzo
Believing only what I can prove is so
So now I never I feel lost
I'mma boss
And it took no cost

(Chorus)
