[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

Uh
