Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I watched you to grow as a person
I saw every move that you did
Every accolade, every achievement, I was there for you
You think I don′t know that?
I know you were, it's just- it′s not in my control anymore
I can't, I can't control it
So what are you gonna do, abandon everything you started with?
No, no, that′s not my intention at all, I′m not abandoning anything
You saw what life was like before any of this
I need to eat, I need to do things
And if that means I can't, you know
Do the things that I did with you before then-
It sucks, but that′s just the way things have to go
I get it, fuck you dude
Bro, c'mon don′t, alright

Jigs up, I don't wanna fight but put your fists up
Bitcrushed, signed a piece of paper, now you switched up
I blеw you up, if it wasn′t for my song you wouldn't see the bucks
Beat him up, no I can't get bеtrayed, you can′t be with us
Oh, it′s like that?
Paint me as a monster, guess it's my bad
Sidetracked, I gotta let you go to get my mind back
Fuck you, everybody knows that I loved you
So did I, I′m the only one that understand your mind

Try to take me out then that's a bad move (Huh)
Just like everyone I knew that you would act new (Huh)
Man, why come at me? I never would attack you
Separation, that′s the only thing that cash do
To be honest, don't wanna end tonight
You′re supposed to be a friend of mine
I would never end up switching sides
If I kill you, then it's suicide
So how you gonna do it right?
I was there for "do or die"
I just wanna see you shine
And now I'm gettin′ left behind
If it′s the end of you, then it's the end of me
Don′t want my only friend to be my enemy
I try my hardest to protect you
But if I wanna be a artist, gotta dead you
Oh, okay
Whatchu mean that we can't do it together?
Wh-Wh-When I′m with you I swear things always better
I'm glad you think that it′s better
But in my mind think it's worse
People think that I'm you
And that comparison hurts
It′s not what I deserve
Then what do you want?
It′s better than an artist fuckin' putting you on
You did this all by yourself
You didn′t need any help

Jigs up, I don't wanna fight but put your fists up
Bitcrushed, signed a piece of paper, now you switched up
I blew you up, if it wasn′t for my song you wouldn't see the bucks
Beat him up, no I can′t get betrayed, you can't be with us
Oh, it's like that?
Paint me as a monster, guess it′s my bad
Sidetracked, I gotta let you go to get my mind back
Fuck you, everybody knows that I loved you
So did I, I′m the only one that understand your mind

No matter what happens just know, I'm still here
On the angels around me, you′ll have a good year
And the same to you
If it was up to me, then I would change the rules
Man, just forget about that, focus on your bag
Aye, history repeat itself, just know I'm coming back
Ha, I guess that′s facts




You can meet me at the dropoff for one last laugh
(Hahaha, you're funny)

Overall Meaning

In Dante Red's song "Finale," he is having a conversation with someone who was once close to him. The lyrics present a clear dynamic between two individuals who started together and were once collaborators in making music. However, things change, and the other person has left Red's side. His former ally is accusing him of betraying their friendship by leaving them behind, but Red insists that he is simply moving on with his life, pursuing new opportunities that he cannot achieve with the other person.


The first verse is an emotional back-and-forth—one minute, Red is admitting that he will miss his friend's company and rallying together to get through to what lies ahead, and the other minute, his old friend is lashing out, trying to paint Red as the villain. In the second verse, they take swipes at one another, with Red suggesting his friend was ungrateful, while the other accuses Red of leaving him behind.


The final verse is an acknowledgment of the fleeting nature of relationships in the music world. Though things are now fractured, Red still wishes his friend well and looks forward to the possibility of rekindling their relationship in the future.


Overall, "Finale" is a poignant reflection on the power dynamics that exist between collaborators within the music industry. It is a song that looks at the different roles people play and the struggles that arise when those roles change unexpectedly.
