Lyrics
[Intro: Bootsy Collins]
Ah
Whatever goes around
Eventually comes back to you
So you gotta be careful, baby
And look both ways
Before you cross my mind
[Verse 1: Kali Uchis & Bootsy Collins]
Did you ever wonder?
Yeah, do you ever wonder
What he might be going through on his own, and
The demons that he's facing alone
I hate that sometimes I can't go home
And it just the same on the phone, no
But everybody's gotta go on, don't they?
Yes, we do, baby
[Pre-Chorus: Kali Uchis & Bootsy Collins]
So if you need a hero (if you need a hero)
Just look in the mirror (just look in the mirror)
No one's gonna save you now
So you better save yourself
And everybody's hurting
Everybody's going through it
But you just can't give up now
'Cause you gotta save yourself
Yeah, gotta hang on, baby
[Chorus: Kali Uchis]
The sun'll come out
Nothing good ever comes easy
I know times are rough
But winners don't quit
So don't you give up
The sun'll come out
But we've been struggling endless days
Someday we'll find the love
'Cause after the storm's
When the flowers bloom
[Verse 2: Tyler, The Creator]
Kali, what you mean?
I take it offensive
'Cause I'm the hottest flower boy
That popped up on the scene
Feeling better, better than ever
'Cause your umbrella, -brella (-brella, light)
Sun is beaming on me like headlights beaming on Bambi
Now let's pretend the street is the room
And you are a Camry
'Cause your drama candid
The Tito to my Randy
Now let's produce some thrillers
My chocolate wit' yo' vanilla, uh
[Chorus: Kali Uchis]
The sun'll come out
Nothing good ever comes easy
I know times are rough
But winners don't quit
So don't you give up
The sun'll come out
But we've been struggling endless days
Someday we'll find the love
'Cause after the storm...
[Bridge: Kali Uchis]
I know it's hard
But do you even really try?
Maybe you could understand
When all you had to do was ask
And just open your mind
When everything is passing by
And all you had to do was try
Yeah, all you had to was try
[Outro: Bootsy Collins & Kali Uchis]
Try, try, try, try, try
All you had to do was try
Try, try, try, try

I just noticed that Tyler was embodying the metaphor that the grass is always greener on the other side, hence why he was in the grass and how even though it rained on him, snowed on him, etc. He still stayed green till the end. Kali in this video realizes that after the storm is where you see the beauty that comes after, hence why in the end she starts a family with Tyler and has two kids. Something beautiful for both of them after they weathered the storm and refused to give up

So no one is going to talk about how good this music video is or

This one is a whole package. It brough the fans of rap that are into tyler, the pop fans that are into kali and the old heads who just saw bootsy doing a track with two random ppl and got surprised with this masterpiece. what a joy.

"But winners don't quit, so don't you give up." is my favorite quote ever lol.

I literally cry every time hearing this song since I have just started my first year of uni and everything is so rough. This song makes me feel better and keep going no matter what... hopefully it will get better and my flowers will grow after the storm
