[Verse 1]

A simple plan for when you can't cope

A couple easy steps [?]

Written at a time when there was no hope

It was an easy way out, a grand finale was scoped

Whatever carried through I say the answer was no

And while that's the truth, I didn't make it all just to show

So, what's the answer to the question that's posed?

It's everything I feel most, 'cause

[Chorus]

I don't think they would care enough

To hate me or be in love

Write a song, hold a grudge

Remembering who I was

Shed a tear, celebrate

Pour a beer, piss on the grave

Though I don't like to complain

Can't help but feelin' this way

[Verse 2]

A simple plan's what ended up in the drafts

A couple easy steps with every decently exact

Written when the pieces weren't all intact

It's held together by tape, and highly likely to crash

Let me say, I've grown to something much bigger than that

The plan skewed to something much bigger in fact

And you can see where I'm getting at, I'm sure you know the rest

But I'd still like to share the last bit of the text

It says

Take my body, lay it out on the West

Invite my family, friends, and everyone that I knew best

Let this be true and I would say I'd be blessed

Anything else I'd refuse, want nothing more, nothing less

And this part I'd like to stress I'd like to make very clear

When I'm put in the ground, I'd like for there to be no tears

Just one session where the words are sincere

And after that, carry on as if I was never here

[Chorus]

(Yeah)

I don't think they would care enough

To hate me or be in love

Write a song, hold a grudge

Remembering who I was

Shed a tear, celebrate

Pour a beer, piss on the grave

Though I don't like to complain

Can't help but feelin' this way

[Outro]

'Cause it's the eulogy for those who never blew up

That boy from the East who tried to bring his whole crew up

That little rapper had a dream and then he grew up

No one betting on him, so he screwed up
