[Intro]
Look

[Verse 1]
Yeah, you know what this is
It's a celebration, bitches!
Grab a drink, grab a glass
After that, I grab your- (Hey, hey!)
Ain’t no time for crying, ain't no signs of lying
Put it all on Lauryn, I got heart of Zion
Had imperfect timing, I was busy trying
On these beats, I'm sliding, while my infancy dying
I was off of the stress, I was losing my way (Yes, yes)
When I start looking back, I’m still deadly amazed (Yes, yes)
How I made it this far, I was never afraid
Could've taken me out but I stand here today
And I live in the now, dude the timing that's wild
When I look in the mirror, I can say that I'm proud
While I'm parting the Red Sea, I reflect on the denial
Y'all was shedding a tear while I'm cracking a smile (Uh)

[Chorus]
Going out in fashion
Why the end gotta be so tragic?
Don't cry because it’s over
Smile ’cause it happened
We finally closed the curtains
And the credits get to flashing
Don't cry because it’s over
Smile 'cause it happened
[Interlude]
(Oh, oh, oh yeah)
(Oh, oh, hey)
(Oh, oh)
Yeah
Baby, don't you cry
It's also a a special day
Because it’s my son's last
Sunday with us
Before he goes away!
Yeah, yeah, uh, look

[Verse 2]
Back in 2017, when your love was everything
Twelve, tryna be twenty-one, heavy weight I was carrying
Perfectly, I balanced naivety and ambition
And Elrafei gave the blueprint for what would become my mission (That's my Sarah)
Me and Rod in the cut, writing up silly diss tracks
Alex at Frost Valley just clowning Dylan for quick laughs
Now we at the funeral, everybody in jet black
Eulogizing the cherished memories I can't get back
Gratitude for every moment that has inspired
My childhood experience is what has kept me inspired
The vessel we inherit and the time we have isn't ours
Felt the roses and the thorns but at least I smelled the flowers
My coffin has some closure I know that I'll never reach
The family that I once had, I know they will never speak
And I never earned the paradise I so desperately seek
So, I just smile through the pain 'til I finally find my peace
[Chorus]
Don't cry because it's over
Smile 'cause it happened
We finally closed the curtains
And the credits get to flashing
Don't cry because it's over
Smile 'cause it happened

[Bridge]
Don't cry
Just smile
Don't cry (And, baby, don't you cry)
Just smile

[Outro]
Alright
This y'all n***as' last time to get y'all dance on
This the- this the repass
Yeah, huh (Baby, don't you cry)
Come on, let's celebrate, n***a
Get your release right here
Come on, come on
Come on, go!
Oh, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, oh
Oh, no
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Baby, don't you cry
(Baby, don't you cry, yeah)
Don't cry
Just smile (Don't cry because it's over)
(Smile 'cause it happened)
Don't cry
Just smile
(Yeah, woo!)
