[01:47.35]People who look like you don't get
[01:48.68]Now the range of accomplishments
[01:49.97]Bein' ignored authoritative outside force

[02:07.38]With yourself you need love
[02:08.85]Drinkin' to forget that bein' you is not enough
[02:11.61]Overcompensatin' in interviews tryna prove that you right
[02:14.74]Maybe then you'll be liked
[02:16.16]Tryna prove you're worthy of approval you weren't shown in your home

[02:38.50]Run before they kill you run
[02:43.40]Yeah
[02:44.81]You deserve a pat on the back and a round of applause
[02:47.73]The sound of this song makes you think I'm not proud but you wrong
[02:50.38]Look how far you took it international bookings
[02:52.55]You gave your family a cushion
[02:53.91]And through the hate you kept pushin'
[02:55.41]Knew you had people lookin' up to you
[02:56.97]You held your composure
[02:57.98]As hell moved close to you you a soldier
[02:59.91]It's a shock that you were ever sober
[03:01.59]I never told you how I feel I apologize
[03:04.03]Lot of guys would've folded I guess I'm not surprised
[03:06.55]You prophesized this from the get go
[03:08.30]Anything you wanted went and got it 'cause you said so
[03:11.06]Packs of women fightin' over you like Shevchenko
[03:13.84]Seven figure checks private jets
[03:15.47]Your best friends know your character
[03:17.25]You proved that by sharin' your successes and blessings
[03:20.01]But when you hurt we hurt
[03:21.58]Breakdowns mean that it's time for a rebirth so
[03:24.56]You carried me as far as you could go
[03:26.50]Now it's time to say goodbye before I leave

[03:33.70]Run before they kill you run
[03:41.25]I love you boy
