[Verse 1]
Yeah
I go through phases, I don't like changes
I love new places, I hate waiting
I don't like complex, I'm way more basic
I work so hard, and I don't feel rated
This feels wasted, when I got problems
I just ignore them, so hard face it
And I got trust issues, had relationship love issues
I'm too jealous and I get attached
I showed love and more time I don't get it back
And I'm so numb 'cause I put my trust in the wrong ones(wrong ones)
But I got a heart of gold that'll take me far in the long run(long run)
Yeah
And I got flaws and bruises
Hennessy and a bag of excuses
Yeah I feel so sad when the truth hits
I stay distracted, no time for relaxing
It's like friends are changing(changing)
Uh, everyone's driftin', everyone's growin' and I can't blame them
'cause, that's just life and sometimes I think life don't make sense
You gotta see the best in me, tell me what's your intentions
I'll pay attention to all the small details that you mention and
Yeah, everything's working the way that it has to
Even if things don't go how I want them to
I'm still thankful, I'm still thankful, yeah
[Chorus]
It's what you've been through life
It's a cruel life, yeah
But it's how you view life
Don't let the true light fade
It's what you've been through life
It's a cruel life, yeah
But it's how you view life
And that's the true life, yeah
Uh
[Verse 2]
Everybody's got reasons, but why you only call when you need things
Like "Dreads what's good? I need this"
Nobody wanna ask how I'm feelin'
So yeah I'm just sayin' how I'm feelin'
Mm, shit don't make sense
Like how you got so much Ps and a trap house bro but your mum can't pay rent
Why you don't show love to your own friends?
But then it's all love when they're buzzin'
Why you wait 'til somebody dies and it's far too late
Then say that you love them?
I don't care if you're mad, don't get too attached
I know that it hurts, I'm speakin' the truth
I feel like theres, so much eyes on the 'gram that every single man has something to prove
But I guess that's life though, it's cutoff season
Paint a picture with my words I mean it
I swear my hearts been through so much
I'm so surprised that it's really beatin'
I really mean it, I'm really dreamin'
I've been up, yeah, I've been down
Everyone's judgemental these days
But I don't really care what they think now
I got the heart of a lion, I feel like a champ'
I know I'm a king but I need my crown, six months back, I was at the doctors weekly pickin' up meds 'cause I felt so down
I feel so proud, look at my smile
It's workin' the way that it has to
Even if things don't go how I want them to
I'm still thankful, I'm still thankful
[Chorus]
It's what you've been through life
It's a cruel life, yeah
But it's how you view life
Don't let the true light fade
It's what you've been through life
It's a cruel life, yeah
But it's how you view life
And that's the true life, yeah
