CASINO ROYALE / THANK YOU
[Part I: CASINO ROYALE]

[Intro]
You see, the reason you want to be better is the reason why you aren't
We aren't better because we want to be
All the do-gooders in the world, whether they're doing good for others or doing it for themselves, are troublemakers
On the basis of, "Kindly let me help you or you will drown"
Because the road to hell is paved with good intentions
Just how I intended
Just how I intended, ha

[Verse 1]
Casino royale
Leave the game soakin' wet before I throw in the towel
If my bets serve me right, I'll be here for a while
Seen them run through a check, they were here for a mile
Hmm, they were here for a sec
And you know how it gets
But the sun gonna set
Everybody got regrets
Everybody sees the code, only some gonna get it
These digits ain't forever
The spirit, that's forever
Gotta stop being humble
I became a lion inside this concrete jungle
Generational wealth, see, I broke off the curse
Can't come 'round tryna flex floors, I'ma show you I'm worse
You could come 'round tryna break bread, I could break off a word
Or I could show you my worth
Artistically on a killing spree, I'm Damien Hirst
That small talk is restricting me, I paint out my hurt
It's the mystery, the myth of me, yeah, keep 'em concerned
Just how I intended
Mmm, just how I intended
I say the best gift on earth is being present
Set my life up like a Seventh Heaven
If you only get one shot, I got my MAC-11
[Part II: THANK YOU]

[Segue]
I, I, I, I, I, na-na-na-na

[Chorus]
I just wanna say thank you, thank you, thank you now
I just wanna say thank you, thank you, thank you now

[Verse 2]
Came a long way, got some clarity and it's pristine
When I recollect, could've had a baby at fifteen
Something saved me 'cause I know now, it was meant to be
I thank my pain for putting this strength in me
I thank my pain for keeping me numb
I thank my baby for showing me how to love
I been goin' crazy thinkin' 'bout my past
Thank you to who made me, I was built to last
Thank you for the violence, thank you for the scars
Thank you for the paranoia, not knowing who to trust
Look how it turned out, mmm, I'm exactly who I thought
Lookin' back at the last time and the damage that it caused
I was too real, I was too honest, could be dying on my word
I was twenty-one when I had a feeling that my time was gonna come
I was out the mud like a blood diamond, so I shine a lil' more
[Chorus]
I just wanna say thank you, thank you, thank you now
I just wanna say thank you, thank you, thank you now
