KING SOL - Last

Yeah
Let's go

I'm tryna tell 'em where I'm headed
I'm tryna tell 'em where I'm from
I say my name they all forget it
Cause they don't know it's just begun
I'm tryna open up my future
I'm tryna let go of the past
I know the odds are stacked against me
But I'm just hoping this can last

In my head with my childhood on repeat
I was listening to the phone, I was taking in all the beats
I was looking up to the world, and understanding the streets
Because I had a different background and sat in different seats
We're all accustomed to division
We get better with new revisions
I tell myself I've got a vision that I'm chasing and I know that I won't ever go and give up on that mission
But lately I've been involved with all these provisions
I been taking things for granted instead of what has been given
I'm ignoring every blessing and feeding the opposition
When all that I truly wanna do is bring this dream into fruition (brrp)
Every time that I'm preaching out to the masses
I know that they see a face but there is more behind these glasses
I'm scared at any moment I could turn into decay
Because you never know you're happy 'til it goes away

I'm tryna tell 'em where I'm headed
I'm tryna tell 'em where I'm from
I say my name they all forget it
Cause they don't know it's just begun
I'm tryna open up my future
I'm tryna let go of the past
I know the odds are stacked against me
But I'm just hoping this can last

What I've accomplished, I really think that it's special
Now that I got this position I'm hoping that I could settle (yeah)
They say that fame is so ephemeral, it's up and down
I gotta get to shallow water so I never drown
I'm such a witty fellow tryna win like Carmelo
But then I shake like Jello, you're not Adele, hello
Inside I wanna bellow instrumental on the cello
When I spit it mean I calm it down so I could make it mellow
I look to Kendrick and say I just want poetic justice
Then I pretend on every song that I been full of toughness
But then I think and really I know I can't handle roughness
I'm always one to know my path I never need a compass
I understand that I've been fortunate to hit my stride
I know my effort has finally made me qualified
Make 'em laugh, make 'em cry, now they need a tissue
But I been hoping my prosperity continues

I'm tryna tell 'em where I'm headed
I'm tryna tell 'em where I'm from
I say my name they all forget it
Cause they don't know it's just begun
I'm tryna open up my future
I'm tryna let go of the past
I know the odds are stacked against me
But I'm just hoping this can last

I been focused on trying and so intent on succeeding
I'm too obsessed with applying and too concerned with proceeding
I think I finally know, the road that I follow
Cause this is more than commercial everything else is so hollow
This ain't bout the money, this ain't for the fame
I don't want any credit so I refuse the acclaim
I stand for the music and always work for the art
This isn't material, it's right from the heart

I'm tryna tell 'em where I'm headed
I'm tryna tell 'em where I'm from
I say my name they all forget it
Cause they don't know it's just begun
I'm tryna open up my future
I'm tryna let go of the past
I know the odds are stacked against me
But I'm just hoping this can last
