lyrics

Oh my, how the tables have turned/I had to make my return/
I have to say it's absurd/Why would I play what y'all heard?/
I'd rather take what I learned/And put my pain in my words/
Congratulations/You still got imagination/
Well since I had to explain it/Wasn't quite as entertaining/
But hey, that's just the way it go/Nowadays, I suppose/
Back when they'd say that my flows/
Would get me up out my momma's/
But I did that on my own/Feel like I'm finally home/
But y'all keep tryin' me though/I might be likely to blow/
Born in the wrong era still/Wonder what y'all scared of/
I'm from where the young brothers/Get carried by pallbearers/
And with that weight on my conscience/How could I not be aware of-/

But let's get on with the show/That's what you came for/
But let's get on with the show/That's what you came for…right?/

But let's get on with the show/Let's just get on with the show…/

Don't get lost in your feelings/This ain't the time to panic/
Even though the money low/At least the crime is rampant/
Sleight of hand tricks/
Pull it right before your eyes and vanish/
While y'all sit and deny it/Just 'cause your pride is damaged/
There's bigger forces at play/That's tryna remind the planet/
How and why we got here/No, your purpose is not fear/
Wish I could rewind the clock/To back before y'all got weird/
Or just maybe, I was just/Crazy the whole time/
And all the world is a stage/That plays in my own mind but…/

But let's get on with the show/That's what you came for…/
But let's get on with the show/That's what you came for…/
Right? That's what you came for/
