[Chorus: Sharp Dialect]

I thought things'd be different by now

I thought I’d be lifting my crown

Enemy sneak this in, I frown

I don’t want to ever let You down

[Post-Chorus: Sharp Dialect]

I thought things'd be different by now

I thought I’d be lifting my crown

Enemy sneak this in, I frown

I don’t want to ever let You down

[Bridge: Sharp Dialect, Ruslan]

But I do every day and that goes without saying

Yeah, I do everyday and that goes without saying (Look)

[Verse 1: Sharp Dialect, Ruslan]

Bad decision after bad decision, mm

Listening to feelings isn’t wisdom, mm

Someone show me how to rig the system

Only You can override (It’s only You)

Lyin' heart yeah it’s so deceptive

I wrestle with all of my intentions

Every session, introspection

I would rather run and hide

[Chorus: Sharp Dialect, Ruslan]

I thought things be different by now (That’s what I thought)

I thought I’d be lifting my crown (Yeah)

Enemy sneak this in, I frown

I don’t want to ever let You down (C'mon)

[Post-Chorus: Sharp Dialect, Ruslan]

I thought things be different by now (That’s what I thought)

I thought I’d be lifting my crown (Yeah)

Enemy sneak this in, I frown

I don’t want to ever let You down

[Bridge: Sharp Dialect, Ruslan]

But I do everyday and that goes without saying

The bed that I made is the bed that I lay in

The sheets are too thin I can barely feel them (Yup)

Treating His hem like a means to an end, no

[Verse 2: Sharp Dialect, Ruslan]

I can feel them waves crashing now (Can you hear it?)

The thoughts in my mind clashing now (Can you hear it?)

I need a brief sense of relief

But for me to see, I have a sense of belief, yeah

Patience running dry (Dry)

Do I let my mind sit, or do I run and hide to a temporary fix (Uh)

I’m never gonna let You down (Yeah)

So bring the waves on and let me drown, save me (Bring it, bring it, bring it)

[Verse 3: Ruslan]

If I was honest I thought I would have been rich by now

As if my God ain’t already keep His promise

As if my life already don’t feel custom made

As if I don’t already drop the ball like everyday, what a shame

I thought momma already be sober by now (Sober by now)

I thought me and wifey would have our second child (Second child)

I thought me and poppa would be on better terms

But we better now, guess you live and learn (That’s a fact)

I thought we on Ave would be on jet skis

Somewhere out of the country feeling the best breeze (That’s what I thought)

And I be questioning am I the lid that’s over my own life preventing me from these blessings and (Is it me though?)

Glass ceilings got me and my God wrestling (Mm)

Yet all along He’s been suppressing the pestilence

See all along His pursuit it hasn’t stopped yet (Nope)

And it’s never been a no, it’s been a not yet (Not yet)

[Chorus: Sharp Dialect, Ruslan]

I thought things be different by now (That’s what I thought)

I thought I’d be lifting my crown (That’s what I thought)

Enemy sneak this in, I frown (Yeah)

I don’t want to ever let You down (Ever let You down)

[Post-Chorus: Sharp Dialect, Ruslan]

I thought things be different by now (I’m just being honest)

I thought I be lifting my crown (Yeah)

Enemy sneak this in, I frown

I don’t want to ever let You down (I don’t want to ever, ever, ever let You down)
