lyrics

INTRO
Yo', uh, uh, uh,
yeah, uh-huh,
yeah, uh... uh, yo'.


VERSE ONE
I’m sick and tired of writing even though I love releasing music,
standing in front of a mic like I’m clueless,
cos I did everything I came to do, said everything I came to say,
be everything I came to be, changed everything I came to change,
I spent so much time in the game and did more than I dreamed to do,
I took everything that I felt, made people say I’m feeling you,
that’s a wonderful feeling too,
but every single book has a last page,
whether you read it slowly or you skim at a fast pace,
the start of my career had me like I was backstage,
waiting to get the microphone and go on a rampage,
that’s why I dropped an album after album for mad days,
mad weeks, mad months, mad years (yeah)
and there were times when I felt like I’m stuck in a bad place,
the poison of the music industry is like rat bait,
the kinda business that can make you fall out with classmates,
turn you to a recluse and make you live in a Bat Cave,
fortunately for me I kept on praying and had faith,
so me and Stixx and Parris came together with bad breaks,
embarked upon a journey, signed a deal with this cat Zakes
and those are still my brothers and I love em’,
they family like my cousin Mikey,
and when I win, they're standing right beside me,
so I’m never looking behind me,
they never looking to find me, no matter the age,
every writer will take some joy in completing the last page.


CHORUS (x2)
Every single book has a last page,
every single journey a last stage,
every single year has a last day,
don't get it the fast way (yo').


VERSE TWO
A'-yo' it’s no secret and I think we are in agreement,
the music industry’s weak and some artists have no uniqueness,
some labels continue thieving, but the fans keep it breathing
and they make artists believe in the power of our achievements,
so peace to everyone of you showing me adulation,
and gave your appreciation, and saw me through graduation,
and came to make a donation, played my music on your station,
I’m grateful for all your patience, all the praise and elevation,
yo' word up to Josh Nathan from the 901
and if I ever come to Memphis for the Cooper Young Festival,
I hope to see you in the future son!
professional in my approach at every step of the way,
plus the devotion I gave, and the emotion, I’m brave,
I’m no promotional slave, and there’s no Trojan I crave,
they say I’m criminally underrated, maybe that’s an understatement,
all I know is there could never be a genuine replacement
for my contribution and the people that I kept engaged with
all the music that I made and all the music that they played,
and there will always come a time when everyone must turn a page, and see what’s on the other side, and move into another stage,
now I’m looking in the mirror and checking my face,
buttoning my shirt, put my shoes on, tying the lace,
heading to the door, I’m gonna live my next moment,
but I’ll never close it, I’m leaving that fucka' wide open...
