EARNED IT Lyrics

I earned it

Life ain't perfect

Found purpose

Now I'm certain

I earned it

Yeah, I earned it

I earned it

Yeah, I earned it

Yeah, I'm done with all these photo dumps

I'm done with all these bitches acting like they know what's up

I'm tryna to give myself the world, but they won't show me love

Pictures out in Paris on a table getting shoulder rubs

Yeah, I think you've shown enough

I think you played the game too long, I think you're grown enough

I used to be the one to hold you down, but you can't hold it up

You started drinking alcohol like soda cups

You was getting touchy with other guys, now I'm over us

I guess it's just the pain of growing up

The pictures that we painted start to crust

The memories have faded, I just left you in the dust

I pick apart the pieces, but I'll never be enough

The reason I beseech myself to run, egregious, but I gotta get it done

I was awfully confused, then I started poppin' the shrooms

That's when I got locked in a room, and then I hopped in my suit

And then the tide turned, I said that it's my turn

I didn't always talk this way, it's just something I earned

I earned it, life ain't perfect

Found purpose, now I'm certain

I earned it

Yeah, I earned it

I earned it

Yeah, I earned it

I earned it, life ain't perfect

Found purpose, now I'm certain

I earned it

Yeah, I earned it

I earned it

Yeah, I earned it

I know you probably never heard of me, but something just occurred to me

If you don't know the kid, then honestly you don't deserve to see where I'm going

Or that I'm chosen

The missing quotient

My rhythm's golden

I'm just trying to start a movement

To set the tone and, put my legs in motion

I was smoking too much gas, although I'm a proponent

It's potent, and all this potency has got me floating on the beat

Caught between my dreams and the person they want me to be

I take their canvas of a perfect world, and paint all of it green

Just to show these motherfuckers I always say what I mean

And I mean what I say

Fake friends that I'm keeping away

I make M's that I keep in a safe

I stay focused on myself, and maintain my own lane

You can't take that away

And that's why

I earned it, life ain't perfect

Found purpose, now I'm certain

I earned it

Yeah, I earned it

I earned it

Yeah, I earned it

I earned it, life ain't perfect

Found purpose, now I'm certain

I earned it

Yeah, I earned it

I earned it

Yeah I, yeah I
