What And What Not
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Nighttime fades into day
And a big mistake you didn't know you made
See if you can take it back
You thought that this was what it seemed
Fate doesn't care about plans
You never knew life was a rubber band
The harder that you pull
The more it snaps back
The more it hurts
Sweetness did you believe in this
They got you good they got you
No matter what transpires
Your will can take you higher now
So don't take out frustration
On your body
That junk will make you sorry
I'm taking my last stand
And to think they almost got me too
Don't confuse bad for rebirth
Don't mess around feeling like love is a curse
But you gotta make a change
Before you lose control
I'm not saying I know what and what not to do
Were all torn up from inside out
And I've had mistakes in my bed once or twice
That I put in my closet till I finally came to
And I realized I'll always know what I have to do
Sweetness did you believe in this
They got you good they got you
No matter what transpires
Your will can take you higher now
So don't take out frustration
On your body
That junk will make you sorry
I'm taking my last stand
And to think they almost got me too
Time is upon us
Be who you want to
Be who you want to be
Keep moving forward
Don't live in the corner
Be who you want to be
Judges will judge
In the classrooms and the court
If you keep giving them their say
I'll be who I want to be
So think what you want of me
Sweetness did you believe in this
They got you good they got you
No matter what transpires
Your will can take you higher now
So don't take out frustration
On your body
That junk will make you sorry
I'm taking my last stand
And to think they almost got me
To think they almost got me
To think they almost got me too
