[Verse 1]

What do I expect from life?

I don't know, I didn't plan that far yet, why?

Oh, you're telling me that I should get it together and try?

To get my life organised?

You thinking I can't live if I don't plan what Imma do tonight

And what are your expectations from my being alive probably despise me being what I am, why?

I mean, I can't deny

Can be evil, no surprise

But that's the price you pay to play the nice and stay in sanity, won't lie, it's kind of hard sometimes to live my life with thoughts running around about everything that's in or out my mind

Have to know what's gonna happen in my future, not a prophet, just a user, and sometimes I would prefer to sleep at night

My curiousity can wait

I'm planning five minutes ahead

Don't know what's happening in eight

I'd rather just lie in my bed

Than waste my day just feeling bad

And don't expect too much from me

Either

Will get a fever

I can promise not to promise anything, is it relieving?

No?

Well, that's a shame

Really expect me to keep up with what's expected nowadays

I know, I know

I should probably think ahead and all the high and lows, but hey!

If I can live the way I want and it will be less difficult then why should I think about what's to happen and be in denial?

Oh! There I perspire

Told you I'm worried about the future, so don't call me a liar

Messing with my own thoughts - playing with fire


[Chorus]

Expect, expect, expect

No respect for the mystery

I mean, what'd you expect, then, initially?

You wanna do it my way, Mishelly?

Let me show you how I do it proficiently

Expecting is not part of my days I live

Don't wanna know what'll be awaiting me

No! I don't have to know the expectancy


[Verse 1]

What do you want?

What do you want?

All of us know what life is all really about

It's about living and dying, failing and trying

There is so much out there I'm afraid I'll be finding

And I don't wanna think about it every day that is passing

So I just curl up in my bed and then I stop theorizing

Don't tell me that I don't know how to cope

If I'm still alive, and I'm sure still full of hope

I will hop

On every opportunity I get

And nope, I will not stop

Think about the outcomes

I will top every thought in my head

Will not stop to debate

Will not stop to relate

I will not wait for life to do its thing

'Cause I'll be late and I will be questioning

Why did I do that? Why was I listening?

I think the way I want and shouldn't be considering

Changing it

No way in the world am I doing it

The thought of my thoughts is scary confronting

It's the same thing as

Going to war without a weapon in your hands

Going to kill but you don't know what you're fighting against

Going to make a mess of your brains

Mess up your conscience

And I don't wanna think about this

How Imma manage if I'll have over-thought this

I know it might be falsely based but I won't the bluff

'Cause I have seen enough to know

That the truth we want is not the one we grow into

I know I need to see though

Life is all about facing fears out of incognito

Gotta overcome, or else, you're finito

Надо думать о будущем иначе о чём?

The present is the past and the future is our own

Guessing I'm too scared and unprepared to be facing it alone

But you just need to know that

Whatever is waiting for you around the corner

Nothing will break you down, you're a warrior

Nothing can stop you now

Nothing can knock you down

Nothing can push you out

All of what you hope and expect will come to be one day sooner than later whether you expect it or not

It's okay to be scared, just behold

Don't be afraid of your future, no


[Chorus]

Expect, expect, expect

No respect for the mystery

I mean, what'd you expect, then, initially?

You wanna do it my way, Mishelly?

Let me show you how I do it proficiently

Expecting is not part of my days I live

Don't wanna know what'll be awaiting me

No! I don't have to know the expectancy


[Outro]

"A life that is burdened with expectations is a heavy life

Its fruit is sorrow and disappointment"
