It Gets Better (With Time)

Is somethin' wrong?

'Cause you seem mighty low

Tell me what's goin' on

Probably been there before

Sit up and fix your face

You see me, I'm okay

We ain't got time today

Throw on your darker shades and smile for the camera

I want you to know

I just hope you know that

That it gets (Better with time)

I just hope you know that

That it gets (Better with time)

I just hope you know that

That it gets (Better with time)

I just hope you know that

That it gets (Better with time)

Keep it up

I see you holdin' on

But it was easy, no?

Now you feel all alone

Quit prayin', ease your pain

You'll be here either way

Nowhere to place the blame

So put your makeup on and smile in the mirror

I want you to know

I just hope you know that

That it gets (Better with time)

I just hope you know that

That it gets (Better with time)

I just hope you know that

That it gets (Better with time)

I just hope you know that

That it gets (Better with time)

Your inner strength is the reason you haven't said a word

But you're countin' this reveals the bad days that you've endured

It's probably not the first

And not the last to be assured

The past is fleeting

The future of promise present keepin' us movin' forward

With hope we see true happiness

Throughout our life's width

The trials we face bring pain and sorrow

But resist inside your strength

The easy path rarely leads to what our heart truly desires

In this life we must face many a worthy challenge

For the outcome to satisfy us

To win in spite of struggle implies much greater magnification

To one's honor which I value more than instant gratification

So believe me when I say that time can heal most any wound

And ease most pain, yet the scars remain until the day we lay in tomb

So please know nothin' in this moment is the same as a moment ago

Each one that passes is a treasure lost

I just hope you know that

That it gets (Better with time)

I just hope you know that

That it gets (Better with time)

I just hope you know that

That it gets (Better with time)

I just hope you know that

That it gets (Better with time)

I just hope you know that

That it gets

I just hope you know that

That it gets

I just hope you know that

That it gets

I just hope you know that

That it gets

Tomorrow's not in your hands

That's why I pray to the man

And I think it's arrogance to make plans in advance

One day at a time

I burn the sage for all the negative

Pay it no mind

I'm at ease with the struggles

They better with time

Need not I remind

Tomorrow's not in your hands

Neither is control

****, reap what you sow

And pay it in full

Think before you burn the bridge

Payin' the toll

Just play your role

So much pressure in the world

I started gnashin' my teeth

Hit the gas so hard

I blew a gasket and leak

Drain me for what I got like a nasty leech

You'll find hard learned lessons

Just ask and I'll teach

Life is just what you make it

Take it how you gon' take it

My ground is solid and no earthquake could not shake it

Ain't waitin' on nothin'

Not even no reparations

Heavenly meditatin'

But it gets better with time

And I'm sober now

No alcohol to hide behind

I grow older and grow bolder

I move mountains then move boulders

I cross borders, don't take orders

And thank God, that's important
