pain is inevitable

Daniel Caesar

Who runs the show?
Who runs the show?
Who runs the show?

Who runs the show who hands out the suspensions
I need a lesson in mishap prevention
Young boy who can t hear must feel
A masochist you know the deal
I rarely listen, I forgot to mention
And I m in need of a damn intervention
Young boy who can t hear must feel
A masochist you know the deal

Pain is inevitable
Misery s a choice
Pain is inevitable
Misery s a choice

Now I m a product, that must turn a profit
Something to prove, I m a god, I m a prophet
Tryna be something that s real
Comes at a price, that s the deal
Against my better judgment
I agreed to something
Too deep to turn back
I ll deal with it in the afterlife
Young nigga done paid the price
Feels good to be nice

Pain is inevitable
Misery s a choice
Pain is inevitable
Misery s a choice
Pain

What if, tonight, Lucifer comes for you
Turns out, your light, light
I hope, you re right (Yeah)
Cause nobody wants to be
(I don t wanna be alone for the rest of my life, baby)
Alone, for life, life (Maybe a little bit)
So long, sweet boy (Oh, fuck)
You, will be missed (Baby, look what they did to me, baby)
Sweet as candy (Look what they did to me
I used to be so sweet)
Soft as a kiss (Smiling all the time, gigglin and shit)
So long, sweet boy
You, you will be missed (I used to be a child
I just wanna be a child again)
Sweet as candy (This adult shit is for the birds)
Soft as a kiss
(I miss my innocence, I miss trusting people)
(I used to trust)
(Look what they did to me, baby)
