    Excluding bad guys last verse (probably the consensus best verse on the album) which verse comes next? Including bonus tracks, it's probably an unpopular opinion but I think beautiful pains second verse is outstanding. Discuss

    Back with the Yoda of rap in a spasm, Your music usually has them
    But waned for the game your enthusiasm it hasn’t

    Beautiful Pain 2nd verse

    You're so familiarized with what having to swallow this pill is like
    It happens all the time, they take your heart and steal your life
    And it's as though you feel you've died
    Cause you've been killed inside
    But yet you're still alive
    Which means you will survive
    Although today you may weep cause you're weakened
    And everything seems so bleak and hopeless
    The light that you're seekin'
    It begins to seep in
    That's the only thing keepin'
    You from leapin' off the mothafreakin' deep end
    And I'm pullin' for you to push through this feeling
    And with a little time that should do the healing
    And by tomorrow
    You may even feel so good that you're willing to forgive 'em even after
    All the s--- you been put through this feeling of resilience is building
    And the flames are burning quick as fire would through this building
    You're sealed in but you're fireproof, flame retardant, you withstood it
    And as you climb up to the roof, you're just chillin' you look down
    Cause you're so over 'em
    You could put the heel of your foot through the ceiling

    Verse is a masterpiece tbh. It absolutely baffles me how this didn't make the standard album. By far the best track from the MMLP2 batch.

    Headlights Outro

    I want a new life (Start over)

    One without a cause (Clean slate)
    
So I'm coming home tonight

    Well, no matter what the cost
    
And if the plane goes down

    Or if the crew can't wake me up

    Well, just know that I'm alright
    
I was not afraid to die

    Oh, even if there's songs to sing

    My children will carry me

    Just know that I'm alright
    
I was not afraid to die

    Because I put my faith in my little girls
    
So I never say goodbye cruel world

    Just know that I'm alright

    I am not afraid to die

    Then the bridge
    "As time passes
    Things change every day
    But wounds, wounds heal, but scars still remain the same
    But tomorrow today's going down in flames
    Throw the match, set the past ablaze"
    :banderas:

    That whole song is criminally underrated

    Then you think about the lyrics of that bridge and this happened shortly after the release of MMLP2
