ERA
Damn Good Story
(Chorus)
This one's for the underdogs
This one's for the lowest
This one's if you did the most
But ain't got shit to show it
We're standing with you here
So you ain't gotta worry
There's nothing left to fear
Gonna be a damn good story, yeah

(Verse 1)
No better place to start than from the beginning
I was winning, really chilling, had a vision, faced some hard decisions
Sometimes I wonder how I got here, there was lots of friction
Growin' up was pretty hard in a house built on division
But around here abuse is the main tradition
I been on a mission to change the growing conditions
And I worked hard with precision
To treat my people with kindness
Everything was forgiven, always open and listening
In the process I forgot to do the same for myself
I guess I felt too compelled
To keep my feelings withheld
And try my best to excel
But the worst thing you can do to yourself
Is put your own health aside and move identity south
So I opened my mouth
And just let this shit rip
This is who I am
If you cannot handle it, it's time you fuckin' sit, shit
I got a lot of ink, and a fighting heart that'll never quit
I think I get the link
My soul and human bridge
I'mma rediscover it
Fall in love with it
Build a house for it
Always vouch for it
Make sure I'm never doubting it
I'mma put a crown on it
Straight and fast, no way around it, no
I will not run from it
Keep it real
Yo it's easy to say
I got homies putting on that mask every single day
I got family always telling me that I needa pray
I got loved ones that don't wanna leave their bed till it's May
But I'm begging y'all to take that guard down
I know how hard
Being vulnerable is
And showin' all of your cards
But you ain't gotta brace for pain
If you face your name and let 'em all see
Yo, this the real me, unconcealed
And this is how I feel
I promise nothing feels stronger
Than lettin' them see all of your colours
Time to open your shutters
Take your heart out the gutters
Just tell her that you love her
Give ya time to recover
Don't pretend that ya tougher
Your mind will start to unclutter
And your soul will not stutter
If you give it a chance
It's not easy to advance
But if you change your stance
You'll find life's romance
Existence is a dance
And I'll gladly take your hand
But if you wanna move, you gotta take that first step
I'll stumble with you everytime you start to lose your breath
If you wanna find yourself, be open, let me see your depth
This world's always got your back, let the stars be your strength
(Chorus)
This one's for the underdogs
This one's for the lowest
This one's if you did the most
But ain't got shit to show it
We're standing with you here
So you ain't gotta worry
There's nothing left to fear
Gonna be a damn good story, yeah
This one's for the underdogs
This one's for the lowest
This one's if you did the most
But ain't got shit to show it
We're standing with you here
So you ain't gotta worry
There's nothing left to fear
Gonna be a damn good story, yeah

(Verse 2)
All the problems, all the issues
All the quarrels, all the tissues
All the love, all the pain
All the blood and lost names
I won't say they're for a reason
But they're part of human seasons
Won't trade it or let me get beaten
There is a purpose to life
And that's really just to feel
Sometimes the edge of a knife
That's just part of the deal
But fuck, I'm glad to exist
Don't take it for granted
I just wanna live my life, all of it
Without ever tryna resist
'Cause at the end of all our days
That shit's always mandatory
But just know your life, I gotta say
Will be a fuckin damn good story
A damn good story
So tell it
