It Gets Better (With Time)

There's something wrong 'Cause you seem mighty low Tell me what's going on Probably been there before Sit up and fix your face You see me, I'm okay We ain't got time today Throw on your darker shades and smile for the camera I want you to know (I just hope you know that, that it gets) that it gets better with time (I just hope you know that, that it gets) that it gets better with time (I just hope you know that, that it gets) that it gets better with time (I just hope you know that, that it gets) that it gets better with time Keep it up I see you holding on But it was easy, no? Now you feel all alone Quit praying, ease your pain Gon' be here either way Nowhere to place the blame So put your make up on and Smile in the mirror I want you to know (I just hope you know that, that it gets) that it gets better with time (I just hope you know that, that it gets) that it gets better with time (I just hope you know that, that it gets) you know that it gets better with time (I just hope you know that, that it gets) that it gets better with time Your inner strength is the reason you haven't said a word But your counting has revealed the bad day that you've endured It's probably not the first and not the last to be assured The past is fleeting, the future A promise, present keeping us moving forward With hope we seek true happiness Throughout our lives with Trials we face bring pain and sorrow, but resistance is sires strength The easy path rarely leads to what our heart truly desires In this life we must face many a worthy challenge for the outcome to satisfy us To win inspite of struggle implies much greater magnification To one's honor which I value more than instant-gratification So believe me when I say that time can heal most any wound And ease most pain, yet the scars remain 'til the day we lay in tomb So please know nothing in this moment is the same as a moment ago Each one that pass is a treasure lost (I just hope you know that, that it gets) that it gets better with time (I just hope you know that, that it gets) that it gets better with time (I just hope you know that, that it gets) that it gets better with time (I just hope you know that, that it gets) that it gets better with time (I just hope you know that, that it gets) (I just hope you know that, that it gets) (I just hope you know that, that it gets) (I just hope you know that, that it gets) Tommorrow's not in your hands That's why I pray to the man And I think it's arrogant to make plans in advance One day at a time I burn the sage for all the negative, pay it no mind I'm at ease with the struggles they're better with time Need not I remind Tommorrow's not in your hands Neither is control Nigga, reap what you sow And pay it in full Think before you burn the bridge Paying the toll Just play your role So much pressure in the world I started my gnashing teeth Hit the gas so hard I blew a gasket and leaked Drain me for what I got like a nasty leech You'll find hard learned lessons just asking our teach' Life is what you make it, take it how you gon' take it My ground is solid and no earthquake could not shake it Ain't waiting on nothing, not even no reparations, heavily meditating But it gets better with time And I'm sober now, no alcohol to hide behind I grow older and grow bolder I move mountains and move boulders I cross borders, don't take orders And thank God, that's important
