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

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
