By This Time Next Year

[Intro]
I don't need them to tell me that
I found you
Is this love I'm feelin'
Tell me that I found you
Just to find yo' peace in
All those things I tell you
I don't want nobody but you
You

[Chorus]
I swear you should know
Beautiful, beautiful
Angel in this cold world
Beautiful, beautiful
I swear you should know
Beautiful, beautiful
Angel, cold world
Beautiful, you should know

[Verse 1]
You were born with all the tools you need
They say you gotta work for money, yet money is free
If you think about it, you can be whatever you think
Don't let your circumstance cause your boat that's afloat to sink
You were dealt a perfect hand no matter what it seems
You know media has to convince you other things
One thing about COVID, I learned to discover things
About myself, I needed time to uncover dreams
I spent numerous years at my mom's house
Jumping from job to job
Battling depression, my efforts seemed to be falling short
I was in deep water up to my neck almost drowning soon
I was in dilemmas like Nelly and Kelly calling off
Still had Walgreens boomin', had CVS boomin'
I was fostering connects to make my next move with
I met Eliot and he ended up going platinum
With Youngboy, that's magic

[Chorus]
I swear you should know
Beautiful, beautiful
Angel in this cold world
Beautiful, beautiful
I swear you should know
Beautiful, beautiful
Angel, cold world
Beautiful, you should know

[Verse 2]
I finally learned the significance of imagination
And seeing yourself where you wanna be is a magic statement
What's up with a year from now, tell me how it goes
You could predict it by having solid goals
Then one thing after another happens like dominoes
And waiting is nothing as far as timing goes
The catch phrase, "all is well," them hardships are not to slow
You down from your vision, stay focused on the gold
Once again, Len came through in the clutch
Changed my trajectory, but to him it just wasn't much
Blessed me with the tools to make my own music
Spiyda said that time is when I'm at my truest
That's when I realized I don't need these niggas
Instead of dwelling on broken promise, I see big pictures
Learned how to make my dreams look like 3D visions
By this time next year, I'ma see me in 'em

[Chorus]
I swear you should know
Beautiful, beautiful
Angel in this cold world
Beautiful, beautiful
I swear you should know
Beautiful, beautiful
Angel, cold world
Beautiful, you should know

[Outro]
I don't need them to tell me that
I found you
Is this love I'm feelin'
Tell me that I found you
Just to find yo' peace in
All those things I tell you
I don't want nobody but you
You (my young super woman wonder, what up)
I don't need them to tell me that
I found you
Is this love I'm feelin'
Tell me that I found you
Just to find yo' peace in
All those things I tell you
I don't want nobody but you
You
