[Chorus]
They say take it day by day lately I've lost count
Walked this path and tripped with my foot in my mouth
Blinds drawn in the way so the lights locked out
Find the right excuse so I can cop out
Take it day by day
Try stay out the way
Like the needle in the hay
Imma be okay
[Verse 1]
I've been staying grounded since I'm stuck behind these closed doors
Tryna find some roses until then my nose pours
Been screaming my name that's why my throats soar
Writing endless until my quotes soar
Above the world and life
Until these heights I see inside can reach the sky and reach the lines
That I've painted in my own time
In my own mind
I've been feeling lost
Stuck inside the box of my making when it rocks
Counting up the costs
That come to be the boss
See the fees across
From the teaching blocks
Boxed in
Locked in
The key I tossed it
Lost it
Chasing nothing racing bluffs and I'm stuck in last like this ain't cross fit
Like it ain't frost yet
I haven't copped it
The cold round my wrist until then I clocked it
[Chorus]
They say take it day by day lately I've lost count
Walked this path and tripped with my foot in my mouth
Blinds drawn in the way so the lights locked out
Find the right excuse so I can cop out
Take it day by day
Try stay out the way
Like the needle in the hay
Imma be okay
[Post-Chorus]
And I'll be okay
I'll be so straight, yeah
At my own pace
Set my own rate, yeah
I will own late
I won't know wait, yeah
Get to go great
And there's low stakes, yeah
[Verse 2]
Tired of thinking what's next
Tired of thinking what's left
On the brink of the ledge
Gotta get this off my chest
Fore I make myself a mess
Escape what I detest
Only me that I protect
No more bullets in my vest
No more bruises on my arm
Never losing any calm
Never feeling any harm
Let this bread stack in my palm
Get some gold between my fingers
Not the darkness it won't linger
People lie I'll watch the figures
Staying grounded through the cinders
[Chorus]
They say take it day by day lately I've lost count
Walked this path and tripped with my foot in my mouth
Blinds drawn in the way so the lights locked out
Find the right excuse so I can cop out
Take it day by day
Try stay out the way
Like the needle in the hay
Imma be okay
