Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Who am I to criticize a truth or lie?
Truth be told, I've been known to tell a lie or two at times
Tryna keep a promise when dishonest always loses
Like I'm moving on ahead without addressing what I threw behind
As I'm getting older, getting wiser, yet refuse to chime
In on who I am, what I've become is like a new design
Fear of change, the very thing that brings us to conclusions
Might be what we refute and substitute for a view that's blind
This the best I've felt, replacing selfishness with selflessness
Vibe with fact, fate with faith, make with take
Helplessness is in the past, brighter future, into that
Levitate, ain't meant to crash
In a state of peace, and I won't venture back
Invested in my self, that type of wealth ain't got no venture cap
If it's meant to be, then let it be, no need for mental laps
Then perhaps I'm ready for whatever, my umbrella hella Ella's, aye
Stay on my path, watch that weather pass
[Chorus]
Some things tend to get better with time while others decline
I give up, I give in, I give way
Some things last while others may pass, fade in a flash
I give up, I give in, I give way
[Verse 2]
What's there to sweat?
Give it time and I forget what angered me, I bet
Look at what I made it through with patience and finesse
Grateful for mistakes, they taught me how to stay correct
I set it straight before the gossip get a chance to make a mess
Yeah, they always talking, best believe them folks is watching
Trying to see the fall of me but springing back my only option
People think I'm lost but I'm just never in a rush
Dismiss enough opinions, gets you branded as upset
To live a life of liberty, the closest you can get
'Cause freedom ain't as easy to obtain, don't see it often
What I can control is good enough as good can get
Existing in a world that gets you used to taking losses
Living under stress, duress, smog, mental fog
Anxiety snatching breath
I guess what we got left can't afford to be under threat
Give it time, you'll be fine, life ain't stone, it never sets
[Chorus]
Some things tend to get better with time while others decline
I give up, I give in, I give way
Some things last while others may pass, fade in a flash
I give up, I give in, I give way
[Chorus]
Some things tend to get better with time while others decline
I give up, I give in, I give way
Some things last while others may pass, fade in a flash
I give up, I give in, I give way
