Lessons

[Intro]
Mmm

[Verse 1]
They said, “Start your life"
"Don’t let this place consume you”
They said, “Do it right"
"And leave it all behind you”
I have unfinished business
I will miss all of my friends
What if something bad happens I can’t get through?
He said, “Free your mind"
"You overthink things too much”
He said, “Take your time"
"Not everything has a reason”
I’ve been conditioned to know
Everything there is to know
So I don’t like thinking I don’t know you

[Pre-Chorus]
Ahh
What they say, what they say?
They tell me who to be
What if I’m already free?
Ahh
Do I stay, do I leave?
Will I drown if I breathe?
This shit is stressing me

[Chorus]
I’ve gotta trust myself and live my life for me
This is a lesson, another life lesson
Ignore the clock while I just go my own speed
This is a lesson, another life lesson
So live it up for me
(Lesson, lesson)
(Lesson, lesson)
(Lesson, lesson)
Cause I’ma make mistakes
(Lesson, lesson)
(Lesson, lesson)
(Lesson, lesson)
So live it up for me
(Lesson, lesson)
(Lesson, lesson)
(Lesson, lesson)
No more playing it safe
(Lesson, lesson)
(Lesson, lesson)
(Lesson, lesson)
So live it up for me

[Post-Chorus]
So live it up for me, me, me

[Verse 2]
I thought, “It’s okay"
"Maybe it’s time to fall again”
What a big mistake
I almost lost my best friend
I was falling down
And then I hit the ground
What do I do now?
I let my judgment take me over
Thinking someday when I get older
I’ll have the memories to hold on to
But I let the wrong things shape my future
Surrounded myself with losers
Now I can see the truth

[Pre-Chorus]
Ahh
What they say, what they say?
They tell me who to be
But what if I’m already free?
Ahh
Do I stay, do I leave?
Will I drown if I breathe?
This shit is stressing me

[Chorus]
I’ve gotta trust myself and live my life for me
This is a lesson, another life lesson
Ignore the clock while I just go my own speed
This is a lesson, another life lesson
So live it up for me
(Lesson, lesson)
(Lesson, lesson)
(Lesson, lesson)
Cause I’ma make mistakes
(Lesson, lesson)
(Lesson, lesson)
(Lesson, lesson)
So live it up for me
(Lesson, lesson)
(Lesson, lesson)
(Lesson, lesson)
No more playing it safe
(Lesson, lesson)
(Lesson, lesson)
(Lesson, lesson)
So live it up for me

[Outro]
I’ll live it up for me
