Before We Go (Reprise)
[IMANI]
Wait a second
Can we stop pretending?
That we're all affected just the same?

Elijah's arm
Is not the only harm
That Douglass causes

Are you kidding, Noelle?
What the hell?
I can't believe you're taking their side
We made a pact, Noelle
Don't stab us in the back, Noelle
Guess an acceptance is worth your pride

And I'm all
"Straight hair
Straight A's
Straightforward
I have to be so overachieving
Or no one believes that I'm worthy"

Whilе you just skate by
On Mom's connections
Future first
Friеnds come second
Since when did you take direction
From your stepdad?

So, hey
It's time for a little best friend recess
You clearly don't give a fuck
So, I guess
We might as well take a break

You proved today
That if it comes down to it
It's you, and you, and you
And you don't care what you gotta do
What difference does a promise make?

But when your world comes crashing
Please do not come asking
Me to clean the mess up
Enjoy playing dress up

Finally, Imani's saying no
Way to show us who you are
Before we go
