Is It Worth It?

I been so worried about tomorrow

I forgot to think about today

And it seems I'm always going through all this trouble

Just so I can tell myself it's OK

Cause I ain't worried, I been broke

I ain't perfect

But no one else is

So I stay searching

For the reason I been putting all this work in

And is it working?

Is it worth it? (oh)

Sure I made a couple dollars last week

Yeah, I got a couple hollers in the streets, sweet

But for me this whole thing's a little shaky

Cause a lot of people love me, but some others fucking hate me

Shit is crazy, feeling wavy

Kissing babies, fucking ladies

Stations play me

But will any of these labels ever take me? (Maybe)

So is it really worth it?

Cause I'd be lying if I told you everything was perfect

I'm not the best, probably not close

But I know a lot of kids that relate to my flows

So eff you to whoever say I don't deserve it

I put the work in

So is it worth it?

And "everything happens for a reason" is the message

The good times are blessings, the bad ones are lessons

I choose to live free at the cost of a bad impression

Cause sleeping till noon and drinking booze is adolescence, right?

So this life seems to be a piece of cake

But it's tough to be sure when living on a leap of faith

Wait, just wait, this'll only take a minute

Before you jump to hate, take a moment and just listen

I said no to Harvard to follow a dream

Went to Duke first year and was the star of the team

Big man on the quad before this scar on my arm

Went from bench to the stage, look how far that it's gone

And sometimes I kinda miss my old life

But being on stage just feels so right

Yearbook closed, I'm on to the next chapter

Don't know what's gonna happen

But I'll worry 'bout it after
