Lyrics Not a Phase - AVGUST

Down in the dumps, I resurface
I feel like I put the worth in worthless
Take all my lumps with a purpose
Higher than a bird despite the burdens

Things are not going my way
But I'm still waking up grateful everyday
Ok ok (Uh-uh)
Bad vibes come around but never stay
It won't kill you so don't take it to the grave
(Yeah Yeah) What can I say
Hey, things are not going my way
But I'm still waking up grateful everyday
Ok ok (Uh-uh)
Life is only what you make
It won't kill you so don't take it to the grave
That's what I say

I cannot complain
Whether I'm crying or smiling through the pain
I survived another day
As a child I was afraid of obligations
Now I recognize that time was not a phase
But I'm great
And that instant validation ain't been hitting so I'll wait
Long as it takes
Keeping the faith
Can't hit the breaks
But I can't catch 'em either man shit
Thinking it's best for me to vanish
Slipping fast I need a damn grip
Plan B to C to plan X
Nothing a lil tequila can't fix
I find my peace when I'm falling to pieces and you best believe that it's tiring
Things looking bleak then I'm due for a peak
If I'm weakened at least I'm inspiring
My time is money and talking is cheap but I don't say a peep, I ain't buying in
I got people who love me and people who don't
But they still want a piece of the pie again

Things are not going my way
But I'm still waking up grateful everyday
Ok ok (Uh-uh)
Bad vibes come around but never stay
It won't kill you so don't take it to the grave
(Yeah Yeah) What can I say
Hey, things are not going my way
But I'm still waking up grateful everyday
Ok ok (Uh-uh)
Life is only what you make
It won't kill you so don't take it to the grave
That's what I say

Super busy so it's crazy that I'm looking for a rush
I'm waiter but I need a different bus
Cuz tables aren't the way to get them bucks
Thankful for the woman that I love
And the homies always picking up
Late night corner store runs
Like do you wanna come, just for fun
I cannot complain
Whether I'm crying or smiling through the pain
I survived another day
As a child I was afraid of obligations
Now I recognize that time was not a phase
