Lessons - Charles Hamilton, Sam Bruno

Catholic school education, but low expectations

Ask my teachers, I’d either thrive or never make it

Dedicated, my head in the Matrix

Eyes look redder than Satan, I’m so blatant

No vacation when you try to be a legend

The underground tyrant, vibe with me a second

Thank you Republic for the reintroduction

The game says they needed the substance, I love this

I’m still paranoid about the public

I know way too much about injustice

Childhood disrupted by my cousin

My pops did it later, he’s like my biggest hater

But I think he loves me if you can love

I’d kill him if my heart gun wouldn’t jam up

I’d forgive but my heart bleeds

It’s hard to be me, no parties, voices talking to me

I hope you always say that you’re sorry

Every time that you’re wrong

Yeah, and I hope you get back up

If you ever have to fall

And I hope you learn the lessons from it all

The lessons from it all

I stay to myself, like a monk

Out of body thanks to the blunt and getting drunk

Kamikaze facing you punks, get me jumped

Your Maserati’s chasing my trunk, what you want?

I drive you to the brink and put the club on

I don’t make club songs, I make bug songs

Like a wired engineer, higher than a leer

My high is what you hear

Am I a pioneer?

Only the gods am I trying to revere

Pain so deep, I’m crying through my tears

Headlines depress my mind when I’m reading them

Whether mono or poly, we need some kinda theism

Not idolatry, I don’t care if you follow me

Don’t be a wannabe, be what you gotta be

Take yourself out of nature and see not a leaf

And these days I’m rocking a lot of green

I hope you always say that you’re sorry

Every time that you’re wrong

Yeah, and I hope you get back up

If you ever have to fall

And I hope you learn the lessons from it all

The lessons from it all

If there’s anything I’ve learned while living this life

Is that there is such a thing as giving too much of yourself

I ask myself every day

But as long as when you do, you have a pure heart

The universe will restore you

Say to yourself

This is my restoration, these are my lessons

I hope you always say that you’re sorry

Every time that you’re wrong

Yeah, and I hope you get back up

If you ever have to fall

And I hope you learn the lessons from it all

The lessons from it all
