I know many, many people disappoint you in life
But don’t be down you’ll be fine
Huh, break bread with those who you think know you most
But it’s a cruel world shit I been told just hold your own
Fire in my belly won't put it out with a hose
Know that they been sleepin’ I'm wakin you out your zone
This is my attempt to be joyful, I hope you see it
Shit is all fake, but I'm tellin you that I mean it
Thinkin that you’ll relate I'm a sell out so fuck that deep shit
Hope you buy what I'm sellin get money then you won't see me
Wait, that’s the kinda shit that labels tell me
Without actually telling me, 'cause can't nobody tell me
I'm my own business and person, so only I can sell me
I may just become what it is so shit I’ll commend me
I know many, many people disappoint you in life
So don’t be down you’ll be fine
Just hold your head up and smile
They continue ignoring so what I tell ‘em

Don’t sleep on me
'Cause I might not be there when you wake up
(When you what?) when you wake up
When you realize
That I'm
The one to be beside you when you wake up
(When you what?) when you wake up
Oh oh, I bet you feel like a bitch when you wake up

He was a clever lad
Laid back fella lad
Made me believe that this here was about whatever man
Always hot and cold shit
Coulda been a weather man
Told him don’t put me in a category, I know I'm better than
He already knew what it was, don’t make a fuss
Are we done here? 'Cause there's nothing left to discuss
Gave you all my time even tho was in a rush
I wasn’t ready you wasn’t ready what the -
This is just life and I get it now
Lookin’ back, I definitely wasn’t ready to settle down
I got my career to focus on and that’s the most important thing
It's more than that, it's more than me, it's more than him
See many, many people disappoint you in life
But don’t be down you’ll be fine, see things get better with time
Know he’s burning and I'm steady telling him

Don’t sleep on me
'Cause I might not be there when you wake up
(When you what?) when you wake up
When you realize
That I'm
The one to be beside you when you wake up
(When you what?) when you wake up
Oh oh, I bet you feel like a bitch when you wake up

I know many, many people disappoint you in life
But don’t be down, you’ll be fine
