[Verse 1]

I've been complainin' 'bout my First World problems

If things don't go the way that I want

I'll start talkin' like the earth revolve around me, dog

And I don't say that proudly, nah (I don't)

Think my judgement just been a little cloudy, huh? (Uh-huh)

'Stead of lookin' at my life for how it happens to be

That inner voice keep sayin', "Why this happen to me?" (Come on)

And every negative thought is workin' faster than me

Like, when I say some shit, ayy, you have to agree

That's out of character, think we all get caught up in greed

Knowin' damn well we got what we need (We do)

It's like you started wantin' more and evеn more, but it's never еnough (Never)

Is the glass half full? I keep on checkin' the cup (Come on)

I'll compare it to yours, it's only messin' me up (Come on)

The fear of failure been settin' me up

I started lookin' at material things I ain't got, it's been fuelin' me ('Kay)

Devil pullin' strings, he foolin' me


[Chorus]

And I can't stand it when I take shit for granted

Don't mean to sound demandin', but I been feelin' stranded

Like I don't understand it when I take shit for granted

Like I got nothin' handed to me, no parachute for landin'

Help me understand


[Bridge]

So wake up a crowd to ignore

Fight when my feelings get loud, they want war

Will I make it out? I'm unsure

Sittin' here with feelings that doubt, but what for?

Tryna be way too candid

Came home empty-handed

Maybe I should lower my standards

I already know that answer


[Verse 2]

I know he tryna keep his cool sayin' he not phased

But how the fuck we gon' eat, if we not paid?

My one homie preach religion sayin' he got saved

And God got him, shit, but maybe he ain't hear me pray

Are you findin' me weak?

Is havin' pity for yourself another sign of defeat?

Look in the eye of the beast

My shitty car broke down on the side of the street

All I wanted was a sigh of relief, man


[Chorus]

I can't stand it when I take shit for granted

Don't mean to sound demandin', but I been feelin' stranded

Like I don't understand it when I take shit for granted

Like I got nothin' handed to me, no parachute for landin'

Help me understand
