I watched the days go by again
Won't let the waves come take me in
How could we all just play pretend?
Oh whoa-oh, don't let the world blow out your flame
Just know that you're the one to blame
Honestly, you dug your own grave
And when it stops it starts again
You only look through your own lens
Can't say I'm proud to say we're friends
Whoa-oh-whoa, and when you tie up your loose ends
I'm sure you'll try to make amends
Can't say I'm proud of how it ended
[Chorus]
Whoa-oh-whoa
So nothin' ever goes the way you planned it
Good and bad, we take it all for granted
Promisе one day, I will run the planet
I don't think I'll еver understand it
[Bridge]
And we're searchin'
We're still hurtin'
And it won't get better, say
[Verse 2]
Came up from Manhattan, made my way to MIA, aye
Promised all my people we'd see no more rainy days, aye
Sun is shinin' on me, I could really feel the rays, aye
Lemme get my shades on, me feelin' a way, no
MIA was cold at night, I had nowhere to stay, no
But I never folded, I got sharper than a razor
Keep my fuckin' name up out your mouth, dawg, I'm a razor
Come from the Bodegas, please somebody save us
[Bridge]
And we're searchin'
We're still hurtin'
And it won't get better, say
[Chorus]
Nothin' ever goes the way you planned it
Good and bad, we take it all for granted
Promise one day, I will run the planet
I don't think I'll ever understand it
Nothin' ever goes the way you planned it
Good and bad, we take it all for granted
Promise one day, I will run the planet
I don't think I'll ever understand it
[Verse 3]
Came up from the trenches, had a war within my mind, yeah
All I'm tryna do is make these beats and write these lines, yeah
Never lost my soul at times, I find that hard to find, yeah
I took all your pain and it became a part of mine, aye
Grew up on Long Island, luckily I didn't die, yeah
Could've winded up in an insane asylum cryin'
But, I won't ever lie, I give it all up cuz I-a
Never had another human being I could rely on, yeah
[Bridge]
And we're searchin'
We're still hurtin'
And it won't get better, say
[Chorus]
So nothin' ever goes the way you planned it
Good and bad, we take it all for granted
Promise one day, I will run the planet
I don't think I'll ever understand it
Nothin' ever goes the way you planned it
Good and bad, we take it all for granted
Promise one day, I will run the planet
I don't think I'll ever understand it
[Bridge]
And we're searchin'
We're still hurtin'
And it won't get better, say
