Daniel Caesar
Pain Is Inevitable
[Intro]
Who runs the show?
Who runs the show?
Who runs the show?
[Verse 1]
Who runs the show who hands out the suspensions
I need a lesson in mishap prevention
Young boy who can't hear must feel
A masochist you know the deal
I rarely listen, I forgot to mention
And I'm in need of a damn intervention
Young boy who can't hear must feel
A masochist you know the deal
[Chorus]
Pain is inevitable
Misery's a choice
Pain is inevitable
Misery's a choice
[Verse 2]
Now I'm a product, that must turn a profit
Something to prove, I'm a god, I'm a prophet
Tryna be something that's real
Comes at a price, that's the deal
Against my better judgment
I agreed to something
Too deep to turn back
I'll deal with it in the afterlife
Young n***a done paid the price
Feels good to be nice
[Chorus]
Pain is inevitable
Misery's a choice
Pain is inevitable
Misery's a choice
Pain
[Outro]
What if, tonight, Lucifer comes for you
Turns out, your light, light
I hope, you're right (Yeah)
'Cause nobody wants to be
(I don't wanna be alone for the rest of my life, baby)
Alone, for life, life (Maybe a little bit)
So long, sweet boy (Oh, fuck)
You, will be missed (Baby, look what they did to me, baby)
Sweet as candy (Look what they did to me, I used to be so sweet)
Soft as a kiss (Smiling all the time, gigglin' and shit)
So long, sweet boy
You, you will be missed (I used to be a child, I just wanna be a child again)
Sweet as candy (This adult shit is for the birds)
Soft as a kiss
(I miss my innocence, I miss trusting people)
(I used to trust)
(Look what they did to me, baby)
