Текст песни Whatever Happens - Alexa Lusader , Ollie Joseph

They fail to see, how I could be this happy
They told me to let go, but I'm making my way home
Don't write me off, I'm never ever giving up
Don't knock what you don't know, I'm making my way home

Nothing's out of reach right now, the only one holding me back is me
And thinking of not acting now's what really saddens me
Friends smoke weed and don't do shit, the vanity
Of going for it all in my group makes me the blackest sheep
Damn, but I don't wanna let my parents down
They don't brag about me, at family outings, embarrassed now
It's apparent how parents don't see beyond the merits
Of education and marriage, always leaving out the careless route

I'm staring down, everything I see in my dreams
Everything that has a meaning to me, oh yeah
I mean its hard when every evening you're reading the feed
Really feeding, on others doing what you're reaching to be
I'm really seeing it's myself that I've been needing to please
Auditioning in the mirror, like I was seeking the lead
While in between scenes thinking, "is this really for me?"
I'd quit now, but that'd be way too predictable, so I'm saying like...

They fail to see, how I could be this happy
They told me to let go, but I'm making my way home
Don't write me off, I'm never ever giving up
Don't knock what you don't know, I'm making my way home

Mom I'm sorry that I'm not taking that conventional route
Pops told me that it'd be risky, I expected the doubt
Ex texted me "fuck you," ain't even read it till now
If you ain't with me, then you're against me, and I'm x-ing you out
I drove passed the final rest stop
And they tell you to chase your dreams, but really want you to settle for that desk job
So after mine, I'm up at the local coffee shop
Writing to see a body drop, tryna secure me Ollie's spot

Will it happen? No, probably not, I'm realistic
Really reaching for it lately I can really feel the distance, but
I'd risk it all just so I don't have to suffer through
A basic ass life, kids and wife with me living comfortable
What I imagine might lead me to a balanced life
Fuck it, I deserve better than living average nights
Belt fastened tight, this is how it's going down
I'm becoming that "I'ma get it, regardless whatever happens," type

They fail to see, how I could be this happy
They told me to let go, but I'm making my way home
Don't write me off, I'm never ever giving up
Don't knock what you don't know, I'm making my way home

I'm thinking this my chance to better me, so why would I just let it leave
Hands around the neck of all of this and I won't let it breathe
I think I really write it down so I can vent to me
The homies had my back, but they faded due to the jealously
Fuck from next to me if you're thinking you know whats best for me
I ain't going back, overpaying to get my next degree, I
Shot at the stars, goals set on levels I'll never see
Like spitting 5 fingers-in the middle of Sway and Heather B

My family wishes I'd have done it different, damn it hurts
Inherited their work ethic, I'm glad I got the family curse
So understand how much I want it bad
That I've been going all out, I keep telling them that it has to work
And I can hear my gut telling me to go for it
I'm all ears, man I'm here to make my own fortune
And if they ask, you gon' really take your chances?
Turned the feelings into actions, we gon' really make it happen nigga
