Necessary Evils Lyrics

I been around the world and I, I, I (I, I)

I been so lost lately

I don't know when, I don't know why (Know why)

These evils try to break me (Break me)

It's ok, promise it'll be ok

No matter how it fares, promise it'll be ok (These evils try to break me)

I been around the world and I, I, I

Weathered through the lows so I can fly

Am I living my life all wrong

I'm far from the place in which I thought I'd be

Unintentionally uprooted all the seeds I've sown

I wonder is it divine or does it fall on me

Outward confession on transgressions, I've mismanaged blessings

I've spoiled the opportunity to learn from countless lessons

I've fallen short of the glory but yet I stand tall

Sometimes it take them pitfalls just to see it all

See, what's believed is how we perceive it to be

Deceived by archaic dreams 'bout how degrees are the key

And we cling to our mobile screens and IGs for normalcy

Fast flood of debris but even an eager beaver could see

Sometimes slow is better and not knowing what come next

Can be the sweetest pleasure and seeing yourself grow

From a wretch to undefiled in all respects can be the greatest treasure

It take time to put it all together 'cause

I been around the world and I, I, I (I, I)

I been so lost lately

I don't know when, I don't know why (Know why)

These evils try to break me (Break me)

It's ok, promise it'll be ok

No matter how it fares, promise it'll be ok (These evils try to break me)

I been around the world and I, I, I

Weathered through the lows so I can fly

Sun setting down I-75

And per an invite, I'm on my way to talk change

Impartial to the fact I don't even got that

And a few weeks ago I was stressing over the same

Who would've guessed it, same guy that's on the guest list

Is struggling with collecting small margins on investments

Just know reality and perception are a distant cousin

The latter is more apparent when you distant from it

But for that distance, I'll go

Mean every sentiment in every single sentence I wrote

'Cause I realized we all out here struggling, either now or before

And the only difference between us is who will and won't endure

Don't let 'em tell you no different

Or paint a picture that's depicting perfect lives that they living

It's all lies, we all got some evils that we rather try and hide

Terrain's a part of the travel when your journey is a ride and

I been around the world and I, I, I (I, I)

I been so lost lately

I don't know when, I don't know why (Know why)

These evils try to break me (Break me)

It's ok, promise it'll be ok

No matter how it fares, promise it'll be ok (These evils try to break me)

I been around the world and I, I, I

Weathered through the lows so I can fly

I been through it

See, I wrestled with shame

But finally pinned it when I put the pen to it

Spent two years being without

Either a job or a place to call mine while sleeping on mom's couch

My pride was bruised, I can't hide, confused

A bumpy road on what seems a broken route

But then I seen behind their truths, the bottomline is the proof

Didn't need figures just for me to figure out

It's all just a façade

Some appear to have it all but they don't, can buy it all but they won't

They afraid to show the struggle but it's perfect for the growth

'Cause you can't celebrate the highs if you ain't never felt the lows

It's all discretion on what's success is

And never what's suggested or what's projected

Just focus on what drives you, your ten and two

And when you attend to it, you can never lose

I been around the world and I, I, I (I, I)

I been so lost lately

I don't know when, I don't know why (Know why)

These evils try to break me (Break me)

It's ok, promise it'll be ok

No matter how it fares, promise it'll be ok (These evils try to break me)

I been around the world and I, I, I

Weathered through the lows so I can fly

I been around the world and I, I, I (I, I)

I don't know when, I don't know why (Know why)

It's ok, promise it'll be ok

These evils try to break me

I been around the world and I, I, I

Weathered through the lows so I can fly

Well, well, well

We finally made it

That was the number one song on the countdown, Necessary Evils

And coming off the tail of that record

I like to leave you with the prize for tonight's giveaway

Just some parting words for you to live by

To help you navigate whenever you feel lost

This thing call life is often a ride

We try to train for all terrain, alter pain from the course we drive

See, our thoughts are the same both you and I

And through exalt of our shame we could unify

But you rather balk in the rain and bury your cross than to frame

What makes us both humanized

The disingenuous hinder us, of course

Oh, I wish they would've taught you better

But don't let that jam you up with open thoughts amidst this uncertain weather

Whether you cold to them and with any aid, you tend to hide

Self-conditioned to be smitten by pride

Until you're course corrected by mirrors that expose your half truths and full lies

And now you're sleeping on reality and falling fast into a collision

And all the things that's in your rearview seem to mirror your exact position

With every level and tier being leveled with tears

Spilled out of exhaust from suspension

But it only takes one night to switch gears

From a hydroplane to an easy steer

To an heightened name and all eyes from your peers

Just to realize that the strife that you've fared

Is the same plight as theirs, but they just hide it due to fear

Wow, that's so apparent now

But since when is anything ever anything you pictured it to be

Telling portraits? Hardly, our canvas is more Salvador Dali

A brush stroke between reality and imagination spawning

To find the balance for the two so that one is not daunting

Like the night when at odds with the morning

But forges a bond to offer peace before the sun's next awning

Submitted for your approval and a declaration to all

There's no soul deemed a diminished mean

For we're all flawed and we're all trauma ridden

For we all fall, and at times bond to sinning

For none know it all but we simply try to make ground from our decisions

But just remember, when it seems down, the best life is your life given

Alright

Well, that's it for me tonight, world

Up next we got the

Wow

I swear, I'm top five, I'm a beast

Mmmm oh my, oowee

Aye, I just wanted to say

I truly appreciate each and everyone of you vibing with me tonight

It's all love

This is 86.3 The Ride, I'm DJ Know It All signing off from NIWIS
