Making Due
[Verse 1]
When I heard, no, I wasn't surprised
Could've said it was a long time coming
Now you beg for some compromise
And you're offering nothing
And by now you must understand
Making due with what I've been given
Read the past on the palm of my hand
A few chapters I think that you're missin'

[Chorus 1]
So I'm wondering, where can we go now?
And I'm wondering where can we go now?

[Verse 2]
When I heard, no, I wasn't surprised
Shadow's long, and the pain gets numbin'
Years ago, you left me behind
And left the place gutted
Lined up, they stand and command
Streets lined with satellite dishes
I skinned my knees and I cut my hands
Got a pulse but there's a few beats missing

[Chorus 2]
So I'm wondering, where can we go now?
And I'm wondering where can we go now?
I run from the past but it's gaining on me
I thought we made a deal but you were crossing your fingers
So I'm wondering where can we go now?
[Bridge]
The rules came from your daddy's daddy
They were, grandfathered in
You forgot pretty fast, 'cuz you act like the past didn't happen
And so you, empty out your pockets
And you said, "all the money's been spent"
And you don't come around, to this part of town 'til it's burning
Man, what did you expect?
You made some promises that need to be kept

[Verse 3]
Now I feel like I've been here before
I'm sitting on the bus, numb, lost and alone
I feel the pain, it's a highway away
Another city in flames, in flames, in flames

[Chorus]
So I'm wondering where can we go now?
And I'm wondering where can we go now?
I run from the past but it's gaining on me
I thought we made a deal but you were crossing your fingers
So I'm struggling with this weight that's been passed down
