The Owner (Postlude)

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Bumps INF] Uh (Uh) I act like y'all don't believe that it's true (True) But the paper in front of me is the proof, uh I've just been hoping things would improve But ever since this Covid thing, man, I think that I'm screwed (Screwed) Yeah, all the things that are due Penalties, paying fees, the OT that accrued Paychecks that I still owe employees and include I gotta bring in the news that officially we are doomed 'Cuz the diner is closing up permanently and soon I think we're bеing removed a couple weeks into Junе, uh From my office I take a seat, book a view, uh My morning team and they serving people their food And all I'm thinking is "Crew, have you even a clue What looms in the news that you'll receive pretty soon?" (Soon) Yeah, I don't think that you do And these are decent people, man: what are we gonna do? Uh, yeah, so emotional I have to sit In total disbelief like, "Yo, this can't be it" For almost thirty years I ran this here establishment Just like the last two generations of my family did We weren't exactly rich, but the plan was to have some kids And pass it to them, just like my Gramps and daddy did Yeah, all of those dreams are over now Sorry, I failed you, pops, I feel like a total clown I was hoping that as I got older that my folks be proud Of who I become if anything as an only child Yeah, but I know deep down that you won't be now Because I failed you all and the proof is we closing down Now I'm scared 'cuz if I'm honest, I'm not prepared I don't know how to share what my staff is about to hear Yeah, and when to tell them the outcome here Maybe tomorrow, but we can figure it out from there (Out from there)
