Mr. Carmack - This Year We'll Be Better lyrics

[Verse 1] Now everybody say: "f** you" to the stress in your lives This is a salute to the rest of your lives If I spend mine doing something that makes me unhappy I permit thee to stick me in the chest with four knives One inside my heart because I chose not to follow it One for my pride cause I chose not to swallow it And one in each lung, punctured ever so gentle Cause I didn't use my breath to its fullest potential No lie: They once said we wouldn't fly A smarter man said we wouldn't if we didn't try So I'm pourin' out my soul until my body's bone dry My image, my face and my presence might fade But my essence still stays cause my message won't die Just do me one solid: promise me you won't cry when we pa** on And that you won't be sad long And that you'll tell stories 'bout us that they can laugh on And that you'll keep representing heavy for back home And that you'll look for a house with couches to crash on A back lawn for barbecue with a floor you could dance on And that you'll throw the best party the city's ever had thrown! [Bridge] Promise me Just in case this is my last song Promise me Just in case this is my last song [Chorus] (2x) (promise me) You'll never say never (promise me) You'll keep it together (promise me) This year we'll be better (promise me) Just in case this is my last song [Verse 2] Give me your word so I know it's real I'll give you about a thousand more like a photo still They the type to dis the entire whip cause the tire's blown We're loyal, we'll bolt a Volvo wheel on an Oldsmobile Just to watch that motherf**er run That's why you need to watch for A-motherf**in'-1 I run amok upon the moon and then I uppercut the sun A hundred bucks says that by June I'll be the runner-up to none! Well, that is unless this is my last track In which case, I make this promise 'til my hourgla** crack: Never judge another by the height of their cash stack And see my sisters and brothers beyond white and past black Or brown or whatever color To be a healthy eater and a faster runner To be a stronger fighter but a better lover That's a solution, but can I keep this resolution past the summer? (Yup!) That's a promise, G Well, that is unless this is my last song Promise me Just in case this is my last song [Repeat Chorus 2x] [Bridge 2] (so just in case, would you promise me?) You're never gonna say Never, no way Nothin' stands in your way (Just in case this is my last song) [Outro] Cause this year I don't need the new leather Inside the new coupe Or the beaucoup cheddar A new pair of shoes or a new school sweater This year, I just wanna do better Happy motherf**in' New Year
