Last Song
Looptroop Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Promoe:]
I write with a great vengeance
Sort of like I'm innocent, facing a death sentence
Like I might not even finish my next sentence
Like all I got left to live is ten seconds
The clock's ticking, this could be my last song
My last will if you will before I pass on
I'd like to pass on some words that'd last long
And mean something even after rap's gone
Despite all the wickedness in the wilderness
And the fact that my life kinda been a mess
If I die tomorrow, I feel no bitterness
No sorrow and not one bit of stress
I'm feeling blessed that I made it this far
My 26th year, my 14th bar
I see the sunshine, feel the bass-line
Listen to it, telling us not to waste time 'cause...

[Chorus:]
[R:] If I die tomorrow
[P:] And this was my last song, I would
[R:] Feel no kind of sorrow
[P:] Nah, I would shatter no tears, but
[R:] I'd smile at my memories
[P:] Yes I, how you feel Supreme?
[R:] And pray for my enemies
[S:] Feeling good, P

[Supreme:]
Man, tough I'm sad, I had to go and all
I'm so glad I got to know you all
Don't feel bad, I hope I told you all
We had one hell of a ride so far
If I did die (Oh Lord), no need to cry (Oh Lord)
'Cause I've been around
I've been around friends who's been around since
My story begins, seen my flaws and sins
I had the women (Loved them all)
Most the bads was my fault
Hope you forgive me and remember me by our happiest memories
I tend to be afraid to give me heart away (But you was my light)
And if it's dark today, I know you'll rise and shine someway
I went away on my way up, but that's a good way to leave
Believe me when I say, "You made it easy being me."
[R:] (So easy-ah)
Darling you made it easy being me
Ranto, help me out
[R:] (Uuh, so easy-ah, I want to thank you)

[Chorus]

[Supreme and Promoe:]
And mom, you taught me how to see things from the bright side
That's why my brother survived, why you and dad stayed tight
Though you divorced and broke up, now I ran out of luck
But I know you grow stronger when the going gets tough
Hope I made you proud, hope you didn't worry too much
About my drinking and drugs, it never came between us
Didn't keep no secrets, I always told you about stuff
And I know you know I love you and to me that's enough
So if I die rich and famous in the hall of fame
Or in a prison nameless with a ball and chain
Sky high above the clouds and the falling rain
Making love to my woman, hear her call my name
Or banging my head against a brick wall in pain
If the last days of my life I was called insane
It's all love 'cause it's all the same
And if I'd get a new life, nothing at all I'd change

[Chorus]

[Supreme and Promoe:]
I wouldn't undo if I could... Hell, maybe I should
But it's one life to live, one love, it's all good
Think I did okay, at least enjoyed it while it lasted
Think 'bout how we laughed, shit, I'm smiling in my casket
Though I may have caused some beefs
And indeed I regret all
May have pissed off my peeps
Best believe I won't forget y'all
When I'm chilling in hip-hop heaven or spitting burners in hell
Hope you got your health and you're at peace with yourself
Became older and wiser, I hope you toast to my name
I sit beside you guys even tough my bones in the grave
I got so much more to say but this the end of the song
So just rewind the tape and don't mind singing along
Come on!

[Chorus]

[Ranto:]
If this was the last song
And these were the last days
If the show really can't go on




Then I'm catching the train (And I'll be gone)
[Repeat]

Overall Meaning

Thanking his mother for teaching him to be optimistic


That's why my brother survived, why you and dad stayed tight
Being grateful to his mom for keeping his family together

Hope I made you proud, hope you didn't worry too much
Hoping that he made his mom proud and that she did not worry about him too much


About my drinking and drugs, it never came between us
Sharing that his mom's love for him was not affected by his struggles with drinking and drugs


Didn't keep no secrets, I always told you about stuff

And I know you know I love you and to me that's enough
Assuming his mom knows he loves her, and that is enough


So if I die rich and famous in the hall of fame
Expressing the possibility of dying rich and famous


Or in a prison nameless with a ball and chain
Alternatively, he could die in a nameless prison with nothing to his name


Sky high above the clouds and the falling rain
He could die in a beautiful place, with the sky and rain above him


Making love to my woman, hear her call my name
He could die while making love to his partner


Or banging my head against a brick wall in pain
He could die in pain and suffering from banging his head against a wall


If the last days of my life I was called insane
Even if he were to be called insane in his final days


It's all love 'cause it's all the same
All of these possibilities are irrelevant because love is the most important thing


And if I'd get a new life, nothing at all I'd change
If he could start over, he wouldn't change a thing


Hell, maybe I should
Although he wouldn't change anything, perhaps he should


But it's one life to live, one love, it's all good
He only has one life to live, and love is the most important thing

Reflecting on his life and feeling like he did okay, and at least enjoyed it


Think 'bout how we laughed, shit, I'm smiling in my casket

May have pissed off my peeps
Acknowledging that he may have upset some people


Best believe I won't forget y'all
Assuring his friends and loved ones that he won't forget them


When I'm chilling in hip-hop heaven or spitting burners in hell
Regardless of where he may end up after death, he won't forget them


Hope you got your health and you're at peace with yourself
Wishing his friends well and hoping they are at peace


Became older and wiser, I hope you toast to my name
Assuming his friends and loved ones grow old and wiser, he hopes they will drink to his name


I sit beside you guys even tough my bones in the grave
Although he is gone, his spirit is with them


I got so much more to say but this the end of the song
Although he has more to say, the song is ending


So just rewind the tape and don't mind singing along
Listen to the song again and sing along


If this was the last song
If this song is truly the last


And these were the last days
If these were his final days


If the show really can't go on
If it is truly impossible to go on


Then I'm catching the train (And I'll be gone)
He is accepting of his fate and will leave this world if it is time for him to go

Even if it is 2023, this piece works as a means of teleportation back in the days when all was ...well... just was ...
Big up Loop from Romania and we thank you for all the good times!

Thanks for the HQ version.
I remember the first time I heard this, the way the clock speeds up at the end really hit me hard. Almost had a panic attack from the way it represents time going faster than you can imagine. Time's always running out.
