[Intro: Propain]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse: Propain]
I'm sittin' in the church parkin' lot, grievin'
There's people walkin' in and I keep contemplatin' leavin'
Oh, I don't plan to enter, even though I'm fightin' demons
Hope to hear it from my side, God knowin' that I need it
I mean, what happens when this preacher let out?
Like is he really livin' all this shit he really preachin' about
Or is he robbin' folks until he got exceedin' the counts
The only time he savin' hoes is when he chеat on his spouse, damn
I ain't judgin', I ain't just pressin'
Faith said, "The rеverend just another man tryna get in heaven"
What happens when they hurt you, do that mean they love you lesser
Puttin' they feelings after pleasure? That's a million dollar question
What happens when a plug from the brick has had a blessin'?
What happens when a shooter's die, a killer's resurrected?
Did I really do a crime if I ain't never get arrested?
Is this shit I'm sayin' woke or am I bein' pessimistic?
They say hate brings depression
Well in my eyes, love sometimes could be the real infection
Like when you and the one decide it's over, y'all gon' dead it
Bein' hurt so times, y'all just gon' go in your own direction
Years done went by, now you healed and feelin' better
'Til they creep back in your life and your stupid ass let 'em
'Cause love got you optimistic, thinkin' you just met 'em
'Til they snake your ass again and you reminded why you left 'em, damn
What happens when you feel the pressure
Of losin' 'cause this game ain't givin' out no Es for effort?
It's like your time passed, got you thinkin' 'bout a exit
That grind get super hard when you ain't really seein' progression
But fuck what they sayin', if you don't creep, you ain't a failure
Without the Ls, you wouldn't appreciate when you prevailin'
What happens when a nigga keep swangin' 'til he Nelly?
"Born to lose, raise to win," this shit more than a message, Pro'
[Refrain: Choir]
What happens when the big stage
And the bright lights, it all leaves you?
What happens when the show stops
And the love goes, 'cause they don't need you?
Hey, hey, no, yeah
Ohh, yeah, yeah, yeah
What happens when the big stage
And the bright lights, it all leaves you?
What happens when the show stops
And the love goes, 'cause they don't need you? (He'll still be around)
You'll still be around (He'll still be around)
Hmm, hey
What happens when the big stage (Big stage)
And the bright lights (And the bright lights), it all leaves you?
What happens when the show stops (Show stops)
And the love goes (Oh, no-no-no, yeah), 'cause they don't need you?
You, you, you, you, you, oh, boy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sing
What happens when the big stage
And the bright lights (And the bright lights), it all leaves you? (And they all for you)
What happens when the show stops (Show stops)
And the love goes, 'cause they don't need you? (He'll still be around)
Oh nah, nah, nah, nah, nah (Yay, He'll still be around, hey, hey)
Ooh (Hey, yeah, He'll be around)
What happens when the big stage (Oh yeah)
And the bright lights (Oh yeah), it all leaves you? (Leaves you)
What happens when the show stops
And the love goes, He'll still be around (Around, yeah)
He'll still be around (He'll still be, oh no, no-no, no-no, sing, yeah)
What happens when the big stage (Big)
And the bright lights, it all leaves you? (Leaves you)
What happens when the show stops (Woo)
And the love goes, He'll still be around (Around, He'll still be around)
He'll still be around
[Outro: Bun B]
I always liked the fact that you was by yourself
That's what I liked about you, Pro'
If you look at me, nine times outta ten I don't care where you see in the world, I'm-I'm pretty much by myself
I don't need a bunch of people with me to stand for nothin' to prove nothin' to nobody
I can prove to you who I am by myself
And that's what I always saw about you
You know, you never had a connection to a bigger group of people, you never had a connection to a certain
You was just out there doin' Pro'
You was determined to make it, and it was bare bones
You know I'm sayin'? It was-an-you was doin' you built off you, you know?
You ain't have no do-no d-boy behind you, you ain't have no rich parents
You ain't have no, I don't know, you know, r-uh, big stipend or whatever the fuck, I don't know, I'm j—
You didn't-you didn't have the kinda bread that you probably felt you needed to get where you wanted to go
But it didn't stop you
You didn't have the biggest team around you to help support you gettin' to where you wanted to go
But you ain't let it stop you
You ain't have the opportunities that maybe other people might've had afforded to them
But you ain't let it stop you
And here we are
