Lex the Radical - Goodbyes (Now You Know) Lyrics

I had to choose sanity over family
I had to choose humbleness over vanity
I had to own up to the way that I handled things
And after that
I deal with the fact that my shawty mad at me
But I always find blessings in the tragedy
Was tryna find peace with my thoughts scattering
Love is a battlefield, in reality
It's always gon' result in us having a couple casualties
Rest in peace Earl Simmons
One day you're here and gone
Somehow the world keeps spinnin'
I send my prayers up, but yet I still keep sinnin'
Yeah I still keep spinnin'
Still getting intertwined with these women, listen

And if you didn't know by now
Then it's time that you know
Aye, look
(I got some moves to make)
(Aye, I got some rules to break)
Now you know
And if you didn't know by now
Then it's time that you know
I done said all of my goodbyes
Now it's time for the road

My own blood kicked me out on the street during the pandemic
Writin' these lines, I realize it's such a sad image
Look in they eyes, ones you thought you knew
Now they mad different
Still livin' rent-free, but I never been a bad tenant
Or a father or a son, got my path written
I promise I'm so committed
I promise it's no pretendin'
Goin' hard than anybody that go the distance
I plan on bodyin' anybody that's holdin' writtens
Can't hit the D'USSE 'cause I'm motive driven
They tryna make up for lost time, but it's no concealin'
They ain't felt the pressure in a while, and it's so revealin'
It's time that they know the feeling, it's no more chillin'
I take a couple shots right before the healing
I turn it up a notch then deploy the ceiling
When you livin' in this light, you start to make a killin'
Paintin' pictures of my life, I do this for a livin'
Yeah

And if you didn't know by now
Then it's time that you know
(I got some moves to make)
(Aye, I got some rules to break)
Now you know
And if you didn't know by now
Then it's time that you know
I done said all of my goodbyes
Now it's time for the road

Yeah
And I'm too concerned with love
To walk with my heart frozen
Won't have me spittin' on 808s with my heartbroken
Ain't too many hittin' these tracks with they hearts open
The difference when you hearin' the scripture from God's chosen
In it for 10 years, and I'm still with the squad posted
Headed for a ride, live or die but I'm not slowin'
Be advised, this is them once in a life moments
Yeah

And if you didn't know by now
Then it's time that you know
(I got some moves to make)
(Aye, I got some rules to break)
Now you know
And if you didn't know by now
Then it's time that you know
I done said all of my goodbyes
Now it's time for the road
