Things Are Gonna Get Better

[Verse 1]

Growing up, parents got me a guitar

Said, "You can do anything, kid, you can go far

You could be the President, fireman, race cars

The sky's the limit, kid, so, shoot for the stars"

So, I strummed that guitar every day

Found a passion for music, never went away

I joined a couple bands and played a few shows

Tried to impress the girl in the front row

But soon enough, everything starts to change

As you grow up, nobody treats you the same

They try take your future and make it real safe

You could be a doctor, accountant or something sane

But yo, what ever happened to "The sky was the limit?"

I fell in love with music, never thought it was a gimmick

I worked so hard on every tune and every single lyric

My whole identity dependent on being artistic

Now, you want to strip that away, so, you feel okay?

'Cause if I make it to the top, what does that really say?

That you shouldn't have given up, that you made the mistake

But if I fail you feel much better 'bout picking your lane, right?

[Chorus]

(Things are gonna get betta, betta)

Yeah, things are gonna get better real soon

(Things are gonna get betta, betta)

Yeah, I'ma just do me, you just do you

(Things are gonna get betta, betta)

I swear, it's gonna get better real soon

(Things are gonna get betta, betta)

Don't let anyone tell you what you should do

[Post-Chorus]

I got a clear view (Things are gonna get betta)

We're gonna make it soon (Things are gonna get betta)

Just keep pushing through (Things are gonna get betta)

Yeah, what you got to lose? (Things are gonna get betta)

Just keep pushing through 'cause what you got to lose?

[Drop]

Got to lose, got to lose, got to lose, got to lose

Go-go-got to lose, got to lose, got to lose, got to lose

Got, go-go-got to lose, got to lose, got to lose, got to lose

Go-go-got to lose, got to lose, got to lose, got

[Refrain]

I won't give up, I won't back down

'Til I'm lying six-feet underneath the deep ground

I won't give up, I won't back down

'Cause nobody's stopping me except for me, now

I won't give up, I won't back down

'Til I'm lying six-feet underneath the deep ground

I won't give up, I won't back down

'Cause nobody's stopping me except for me, now

(Now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now)

[Verse 2]

And let's be honest, life's a competition

So, if I'm going to play, then I'm gon' play to win it

I refuse to sit and rot at a desk all day

Unless I have a passion I'm working towards, okay?

I'd rather be dead on the outside than inside

A bullet to the head than twenty-five to life

In a cubicle, alone, just trying to get by

Building someone else's dream instead of building mine

If you're hearing me, this is meant to inspire

If you have a dream or if you have desires

A girl in your life that's making you feel that fire

Go fight for her, man, go die for her, man

'Cause you only have one life, one chance to do it

One chance to prove it to yourself, so, don't lose it

You got this, fam, just keep pushing on through it

One day you'll look back so glad you pursued it

[Chorus]

(Things are gonna get betta, betta)

Yeah, things are gonna get better real soon

(Things are gonna get betta, betta)

Yeah, I'ma just do me, you just do you

(Things are gonna get betta, betta)

I swear, it's gonna get better real soon

(Things are gonna get betta, betta)

Don't let anyone tell you what you should do

[Post-Chorus]

I got a clear view (Things are gonna get betta)

We're gonna make it soon (Things are gonna get betta)

Just keep pushing through (Things are gonna get betta)

Yeah, what you got to lose? (Things are gonna get betta)

Just keep pushing through 'cause what you got to lose?

[Drop]

Got to lose, got to lose, got to lose, got to lose

Go-go-got to lose, got to lose, got to lose, got to lose

Got, go-go-got to lose, got to lose, got to lose, got to lose

Go-go-got to lose, got to lose, got to lose, got

[Refrain]

I won't give up, I won't back down

'Til I'm lying six-feet underneath the deep ground

I won't give up, I won't back down

'Cause nobody's stopping me except for me, now

I won't give up, I won't back down

'Til I'm lying six-feet underneath the deep ground

I won't give up, I won't back down

'Cause nobody's stopping me except for me, now

(Now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now)

[Bridge]

Yo, you ain't gon' stop me now because I got this, now

I got the formula and I'm about to drop it loud

So, what we talking 'bout? There is no talking, now

We take action with passion, we're rockin', now

It's tick-tockin' now, the clock's tockin', down

And all I hear is haters try so hard to talk me down

But they can't stop the sound, already on the ground

Everything is growing faster than I can count

You ain't gon' stop me now because I got this, now

I got the formula and I'm about to drop it loud

So, what we talking 'bout? There is no talking, now

We take action with passion, we're rockin', now

It's tick-tockin' now, the clock's tockin', down

And all I hear is haters try so hard to talk me down

But they can't stop the sound, already on the ground

Everything is growing faster than I can count

[Outro]

I, I, I-I-I-I, I, I, I-I-I-I

I, I, I-I-I-I, I can count, I can count

I-I-I-I, I, I-I-I-I, I, I, I-I-I-I

I, I, I-I-I-I, 'thing is growing faster than I can count
