lyrics

I could never be no hardback guy outside
on a waste man ting
Even if i fail i know i tried my best
I can say i did
I would never judge you
So don’t judge me
For the way i live
Been making peace with myself
& all my sins
They said they’ll be days like
They said they’d be days like this
I’m changing things are changing
They wont stay like this
Things are changing
I’m changing
I wont stay like this

Deep in the valley of my thoughts
Is where I a stand
I’m not a boy any more im a man
No i never got everything that i wanted
But i was greatful for the things that i had
I stopped comparing
That was a dark road
That’s the mentality that kept me trapped
Lost my way then i found my way
Lost my way then found my way back
I thought i was worth being around
Wasted time
Wasted money
I was just sitting around
I thought if i had all the new tings
Or a new ting
I’d figure it out
I was looking for peace in all the wrong places
It was brining me down

I could never be no hardback guy outside
on a waste man ting
Even if i fail i know i tried my best
I can say i did
I would never judge you
So don’t judge me
For the way i live
Been making peace with myself
& all my sins
They said they’ll be days like
They said they’d be days like this
I’m changing things are changing
They wont stay like this
Things are changing
I’m changing
I wont stay like this

I was slowed down by the way that a thought
So be mindful of the way you think
Everyone of them countless battles you fought
You fell you grew you learnt you slipped
Things never went the way that i thought
I still had to go & love & live
And the energy comes in waves
So everyday is sink or swim
I’ve been broke
I’ve been bruk
Ive been poor
Ive had money
I’ve copped things I’ve ignored
Went back the next ting & got more
Then i though what for
There has got to be way more to live for
Now I just give more to get more

I could never be no hardback guy outside
on a waste man ting
Even if i fail i know i tried my best
I can say i did
I would never judge you
So don’t judge me
For the way i live
Been making peace with myself
& all my sins
They said they’ll be days like
They said they’d be days like this
I’m changing things are changing
They wont stay like this
Things are changing
I’m changing
I wont stay like this

I could never be no hardback guy outside
on a waste man ting
Even if i fail i know i tried my best
I can say i did
I would never judge you
So don’t judge me
For the way i live
Been making peace with myself
& all my sins
They said they’ll be days like
They said they’d be days like this
I’m changing things are changing
They wont stay like this
Things are changing
I’m changing
I wont stay like this
