I see the future in my head

Tell me it's worth it in the end

My dreams are doubts I'm insecure

So what am I living for

I applied for a job today

Went to the interview suit and tie I didn't hesitate

It was simple answered everything perfectly

But then my boss asked me a question that startled me

She said where do you see yourself in five years

And I thought my god I hope that I'm not here

And in that moment I rеalized I wasn't prepared

So I madе something up pretended I wasn't scared

'Cause I'm a dreamer since the beginning

There's been no practical option I've never thought of quitting

At writing singing drumming or chasing applause

But as I get older people are telling me I gotta get a real job

So to my future self send me a sign

I know it's impossible with the limits of time

But to be honest I don't want to regret when I reminisce

In five years I hope it gets better than this

I hope it gets better than this yeah

I hope it gets better than this right

I hope it gets better than this

I'm impatiently waiting for something I don't know what

So to myself in five years please tell me I shouldn't give up

I see the future in my head

Tell me it's worth it in the end

My dreams are doubts I'm insecure

So what am I living for

I have so many questions

'Cause there's so much more to life just than succeeding in a profession

Will I one day find my place in a community

My quarter life crisis came early and it's been killing me

Will I keep a girlfriend or find me wife

'Cause I think I'll be alone for the rest of my life

Or worse I'll end up like Ted Mosby and Robin

And get my picture perfect end with my ex and all our problems

I don't ever spill my guts out often

But that provocative question put the nail in the coffin

I know I talk too much that's why I'm spitting a verse

'Cause I'm not you and for me rap is more than getting turnt

But honestly I'm way too scared to open up

Cause what'll happen to me if people don't think I'm good enough

All I know is that this ain't it

So in five years I hope it gets better than this

(Will it get better than this)

I hope it gets better than this yeah

(Will it get better than this)

I hope it gets better than this right

(There's no guarantee oh that I'll succeed)

I hope it gets better than this

I'm impatiently waiting for something I don't know what

But to myself in five years please tell me I shouldn't give up

I see the future in my head

Tell me it's worth it in the end

My dreams are doubts I'm insecure

So what am I living for

It's been years since I wrote this but it's still relevant

Things change but I'm a slave to these same sentiments

I'm nostalgic as hell and I want to move on

But I don't know if I'll ever stop rewriting this song

But now things are happening life's looking up

And I'm tired of always feeling like I'm never enough

So to myself in five years I can't wait to meet you

Imma make you somebody that I'ma wanna look up to

It's a go (will it get better than this)

It don't matter 'cause I'm taking control

And imma grow (will it get better than this)

I'd rather do something than fear the unknown

'Cause I create my fate it's taking shape make no mistake

I know that someday imma be okay

I'm impatiently waiting for the future to unfold

But now I'm ready for anything cause I know

It'll get better than this

It'll get better than this

There's no guarantee oh that I'll succeed

But I know it'll get better than this

It'll get better than this (I see the future in my head)

It'll get better than this (Tell me it's worth it in the end)

There's no guarantee oh that I'll succeed (my dreams are doubts I'm insecure)

But I know it'll get better than this (so what I am I living for)

It'll get better than this

(I see the future in my head) I know it gets better than this (Tell me it's worth it in the end)I know it gets better than this

(My dreams are doubts I'm insecure) I know it gets better than this

I'm impatiently waiting for something I don't know what

(So what am I living for)

But to myself in five years I know I shouldn't give up

Cause for once I don't feel overwhelmed

I never thought I'd make it out of hell

But now I say it proud I believe in myself

Don't know how it's gonna happen or how it's gonna be

But I know if I keep working then I'm gonna succeed

So to myself in five years I have no fear cause I know

It's gonna get better than this
