lyrics

Voli, come in
Let’s get started
I have youre resume in front of me
Do you have anything to add? Any…questions?

Did I do it right? Or was it just pretend, well it depends
Is this the end or the beginning of my life
And as my casket lowers down, will they look back at me over the ground
And maybe cry?
I see the faces of my enemies, my friends eventually I sacrificed
Memories flash before my eyes, the final act before my demise
And all I can ask before I die is

(Hook)
Will I rise before I wake, will I die before I lay (yah)
Before I lay, ay, ay
In the end will my heart outweigh the things I never say
What will it say on my resume? My resume, my resume

I never thought it’d be like this, nearly broke, no deal yet
Good things comes to those who wait? Um, how come it ain’t here yet
Lifestyles of the pissed and the fameless, stuck in the office with the staplers
Papers, TPS reports, helluva resume that shit is shameless
But I reached that verdict, the jury is in
Decided that suit right there won’t be the same suit they bury me in
Resume of passion, experienced in the laws of attraction
Spare me the funeral, I will be more than the usual corpse in a casket

(Hook)

Huh, never was religious, but I believed in being a good man
But some wounds are deeper than quicksand
Funny how when you become what you think you’re supposed to be, then it’s and issue
The ones that you thought would support you, they only believe in it when it’s official
But I apologize (apologize) the ones I’ve hurt
Take a look into my mama’s eye’s (my mama’s eyes) and to the ones I’ve birthed
Hope I made you proud (made you proud) just know I did my best (did my best)
Know you only live once, but we can die a million deaths

(Hook 2X)
