McLennon closes this tune with what feels more like a spoken-word piece rather than rap lyrics. He discusses some of the tribulations he's been through — a failed romance, almost losing his father, and dealing with negative thoughts — but offers a beautiful message of hope at the end. "Some people have angels, what if only shadows follow you?" he says. "The branches of the weeping willow start to swallow you / And then you realize you're exactly where you're supposed to be / The horizon clears, you wipe the tears / And all the skeletons are ready for your story."
Honorable mention: Wood because he shows a different side to his customarily flashy self. He opens up about social class, his previous contemplations of selling drugs, and being the only African at the University of Texas before he dropped out.
