Not So Bad

[Verse 1]:

People ignore you till they want something from you
And then they turn around like you’re someone they could run to
But I’m not really for it I despise that behavior
It’s like every time we talked they end up asking for favors
And I’m always giving love unless it’s not reciprocated
People smile in my face and then be upset that I made it
Why they trying to break me down when I’m just trying to raise em’ higher
If I speak on my success I only do it to inspire
I’ve been trying to reach the youth so I can elevate their mind
Let them learn from my mistakes so it don’t take as long to shine
And forever learning I’m still trying to get it right
Make a difference in this world and have some balance in my life
Given guidance to my son so I can teach them how to move
Always leading by example cause he watches what I do
‘Member back when I was younger thought I had it figured out
Now I understand the things my mother always spoke about yeah

[Chorus]:

Sometimes I think about the problems that I have but
Then I realize like it’s really not so bad see
I’m just grateful and I’m holding it down
I pray to God hope I’m making you proud
I hope I’m making you proud
I think about the problems that I have but
Then I realize like it’s really not so bad see
I’m just grateful and I’m holding it down
I pray to God hope I’m making you proud

[Verse 2]:

People judge me when they see me they don’t even know my story
Always told myself to let em’ but don’t let it make me worry
Wanna know just what I’ve been through all you gotta do is ask
I came a long way from the struggles of my past
Taking flights overseas to go and see the world
Out in Rome having dinner conversating with my girl
I don’t like to talk about it just never go and do it
All I ever had to do was really set my mind to it
If you never make a change nothing changes that’s for certain
Best thing I ever did was fix the things that weren’t working
I know you’re out there hurting but don’t show it on the surface
But on the inside all you’re feeling like it’s hopeless
So I’mma tell you something that I had to tell myself
This the only life you got and know that time is running out
If you’re feeling like it’s over on the verge of letting go
I hope you know it’s not too late to take control for real

[Chorus]:

Sometimes I think about the problems that I have but
Then I realize like it’s really not so bad see
I’m just grateful and I’m holding it down
I pray to God hope I’m making you proud
I hope I’m making you proud
I think about the problems that I have but
Then I realize like it’s really not so bad see
I’m just grateful and I’m holding it down
I pray to God hope I’m making you proud
I hope I’m making you proud
Sometimes I think about the problems that I have but
Then I realize like it’s really not so bad see
I’m just grateful and I’m holding it down
I pray to God hope I’m making you proud
I hope I’m making you proud
