The Elephant In the Room/When It's All Said and Done (Outro)
I know you'll feel some type of way when you hear this song
And I ain't looking for no magic wand like David Blaine
I just pray to God that one day you can make a change
Ever since she passed away, you ain't stayed the same
Too much pride to look your demons in the flipping eye
That's why you rely on alcohol to save the day
But addiction never takes the pain away
I hope you know before you're in the grave, not too late to change
Your aura's talking hella loud but it can turn around
Don't be the guy with too much pride to even work it out
Civil war inside your mind is not the way the way to live
You're constantly in labour and I hate to see the pain you're in
I know you're wondering why the hell is he telling me
But therapy taught me how to take an L and make a win
So I hope you look beyond your pride it ain't diss
I just wanna see you shoot your shot in life and make it in
I ain't perfect I'm just making a start, tryna rectify the pain in my heart - I hope you know that
Yeah, I know you're tryna get away from your past, I hope you don't stay in the dark, from a far
I ain't perfect I'm just making a start, tryna rectify the pain in my heart - I hope you know that
Yeah, you're tryna get away from your past, I hope you don't stay in the dark, from a far
Silver spoon in my mouth, can't relate to that
I was tryna stay legit and generate the cash
Don't you know that living mediocre life ain't the plan
Staying down like I had a Bally on and waved a strap
I ain't perfect, I never claimed I am
And I ain't got the answer like a student when they raise their hand
I made some mistakes and I wish that I could take them back but that's what happens when you teach yourself how to raise a man
Never had a role model growing up but my mother raised a king and I promise I would pay her back
Know your worth add your tax, brudda I'm stating facts
Don't waste your life by having too much pride, it don't make you a man
I witnessed your mental health decline, like a snitch when they a witness a crime, I had to take a stand
Fam, I had to meditate and make a plan and stop depression in his tracks, I heard it and I ain't a fan
It's crunch time like I'm in the gym and I hate my stomach, life ain't adding up, do the work, see amazing numbers
You're tryna chase away the pain, except you hated running
Feel like Sam Cooke cos I'm telling you a change is coming
So free your mind
Be assertive
Life your life
Make sure it's worth it
For your family get your money up and save a bit
Cos when it's all said and done, we ain't taking it
Young queen
They did you wrong again
Played you behind your back
Thought that was your friend
Dad's back on the bottle
Mum's back in pen
Miss Franklin, all you're tryna get is some respect
Yes, reach out, keep pushing through it
Better know your worth and don't let anyone abuse it
Get some therapy, forget the stress it ain't a ting
Cos when it's all said and done, we ain't taking it
Get some therapy, forget the stress it ain't a ting
Cos when it's all said and done, we ain't taking it
And I ain't looking for no magic wand like David Blaine
I just pray to God that one day you can make a change
Ever since she passed away, you ain't stayed the same
Too much pride to look your demons in the flipping eye
That's why you rely on alcohol to save the day
But addiction never takes the pain away
I hope you know before you're in the grave, not too late to change
Your aura's talking hella loud but it can turn around
