Getting Ends

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah, yeah You can keep score—I’m keeping pace [Verse 1] You keep a file on the slight from a year ago Rehearse every word like the jury’s about to know I took that same weight, made a plan, made a lane Put a little back home, put the rest in the game Clock in, clock out, still I’m first through the door Had a dream in a notebook, now it’s asking for more No handout, no shortcut, no borrowed applause I got miles in my legs, I got proof in the pause [Pre-Chorus] You can spend all day looking back at the scene Or put both hands on the life you can build [Chorus] You’re spending your time plotting on what everyone’s forgotten Focused on revenge while the rest of us getting ends I’m putting in work, turning long nights into options You’re stuck on the past; we’re already around the bend Getting ends, getting ends We keep it moving, let the whole thing ascend Getting ends, getting ends You’re plotting on a past we don’t remember again [Verse 2] I know that sting when they shut that gate When your big idea got a “maybe next date” But a grudge won’t pay what the rent man needs And a score won’t grow if you don’t plant seeds So I learned every number, every turn, every name Made a call, took a chance, put my pride on a plane Now the old talk fades when the new checks clear I got people counting on me, so I steer, no fear [Pre-Chorus] You can spend all day looking back at the scene Or put both hands on the life you can build [Chorus] You’re spending your time plotting on what everyone’s forgotten Focused on revenge while the rest of us getting ends I’m putting in work, turning long nights into options You’re stuck on the past; we’re already around the bend Getting ends, getting ends We keep it moving, let the whole thing ascend Getting ends, getting ends You’re plotting on a past we don’t remember again [Bridge] Let it go, let it pass, let the old page close There’s a whole new route where the hard work goes If you’ve got that fire, put it straight to the climb Make a future so loud it can’t hear old times [Final Chorus] You’re spending your time plotting on what everyone’s forgotten Focused on revenge while the rest of us getting ends I’m putting in work, turning long nights into options You’re stuck on the past; we’re already around the bend Getting ends, getting ends We keep it moving, let the whole thing ascend Getting ends, getting ends You’re plotting on a past we don’t remember again [Outro] Keep your eyes ahead Put the work in
