- Destiny Rex (Rob A. King)
- Hook:
- Pack your bags and you know what's next,
- it's time to execute the exit plan, once again,
- you didn't walk away you ran.
- Now I'm grown up and it's time to own up,
- you'd left to keep that drink in your hand,
- don't pretend, that I'd ever wanna be your friend.
- Verse 1:
- I'd expected that you woulda dropped by to say "Hi" to me,
- but you never stopped by or even write to me,
- for the first ten years you lied (you lied) to me and for the next ten,
- you just died (just die) to me.
- Don't take my verse with a grain of salt,
- 'cause for the first decade, I thought it was MY fault.
- When my dad desert me and leave town,
- I refused to accept that it hurt me deep down
- and that hurt it grew, hurt turned to blue,
- so I started poppin' pills and drinking too, like you.
- The major impression you left was depression,
- you left me guessing who Des was (who's Des?)
- he was a deadbeat, he was a slacker,
- he was a drunk both before and after.
- In 95 he created a rapper.
- In 97 he became a bag packer…
- Hook:
- Pack your bags and you know what's next
- it's time to execute the exit plan, once again,
- you didn't walk away, you ran.
- Now I'm grown up and it's time to own up,
- you'd left to keep that drink in your hand,
- don't pretend, that I'd ever wanna be your friend.
- Verse 2:
- I remember a time when I was young,
- probably 2 or 1 staring out the window
- waiting for my dad to come.
- Deep down I knew that you'd show up,
- I just didn't know that it would be
- when I was grown up,
- now I'm old enough to drive
- and you pop into my life…
- 'bout motherfucking time.
- You told my mom if I'd fucked up
- you'd set me straight,
- If you tried you'd get fucked up
- let's get that straight.
- For the longest time I wanted to hurt you
- so damn bad, it's so damn sad,
- that my own damn dad would inflict me
- with a curse like this,
- s'why I'm choosing to afflict you
- with a verse like this.
- I guess that what I'm saying is
- there ain't another way that I can hurt you,
- I can't desert you.
- You'll never take back the time you took (naw)
- so sing along to the hook and don't forget to…
- Hook:
- Pack your bags and you know what's next

- you didn't walk away, you ran.
- Now I'm grown up and it's time to own up,
- you'd left to keep that drink in your hand,
- don't pretend, that I'd ever wanna be your friend.
- Verse 3:
- Objection (what) to my recollection,
- Friends share bonds of mutual affection,
- You absconded, you left with no detection,
- now you wanna beg for my attention? (naw)
- Fuck that. I never play the pawn I play the king,
- with the brawn and brain I bring,
- know I'm ‘onna do my thing I drop bombs,
- sticky like napalm…
- cause I got a hot flow and you can never let go,
- it’s like, every single time you call me
- late at night try'na preach…
- you're at least a few beers deep, dear sleep,
- never sounded so appealing, feelings,
- now I'm dealing with concealing.
- Still it's apparent that you're not a parent,
- if I had a kid I'd never leave him just a
- bastard little tot,
- That's what your absence taught,
- and I kid you not… listen I'm the only kid you got…
- (Hook:) x2
- Pack your bags and you know what's next
- it's time to execute the exit plan, once again,
- you didn't walk away, you ran.
- Now I'm grown up and it's time to own up,
- you'd left to keep that drink in your hand,
- don't pretend, that I'd ever wanna be your friend.
- (so don't ask me)
