Verse 1:
Yes I know how it feels to be on the outside looking in, never fitting in
They don’t understand (naw)
Why you’re not like them
But it takes a special kind of view to see life the way you do
And you can search the world high and low
There will never be another you another you no no no
And it’s hard I know
Cuz you’ve got a heart of gold
And you just want the world to know
Chorus:
It’s okay to be you
You are different
You ain’t like none of them
You got your own swag, your own style, your own thing and baby that’s cool
It’s written in the stars
You’re supposed to be who you are
So do your thing, do your thing, do you-you
Said it’s okay to be you
Do ya thing, do ya-do ya thing yeah
Do ya thing do ya-do ya thing yeah
Do ya thing, do ya-do ya thing yeah
Do ya thing, do ya thing do ya thing yeah
Verse 2:
The second verse is dedicated to you
Life of the party, leader of the crew
No one knows what you hide deep down inside in order to survive sometimes
It’s hard I know
Cuz you’ve got a heart of gold
But you can’t let them feelings show
Chorus:
It’s okay to be you
You are different
You ain’t like none of them
You got your own swag, your own style, your own thing and baby that’s cool
It’s written in the stars
You’re supposed to be who you are
So do your thing, do your thing, do you you
Said it’s okay to be you
Do ya thing, do ya-do ya thing yeah
Do ya thing do ya-do ya thing yeah

Chorus with Choir:
It’s okay to be you

Verse 1:
I got a dream and a dollar to my name
Just dropped a stack now it’s double or nothing
Duffle bag packed yeah I’m ready
Thoughts so heavy coming with me
Cuz back there there aint nothing for me no more
And my heart aint here like it was before
And that’s when I know it’s time to go
Chorus:
My oh my I just might be a rolling stone
No matter where I go
I feel like I’m right at home
But I know it won’t be long before I’m gone that’s the way I do
It’s the life I live
The road I choose
Wrong or right I just might be a rolling stone
Rolling rolling
I think I might be a rolling stone
Rolling rolling
Verse 2:
Wish I could stay but something’s got a hold of me
Telling me that the grass is gonna be greener
This white picket fence is looking pretty
But I’m more enticed by the lights in the city
Cuz out there there awaits something for me I know
And I might miss my chance if I don’t hurry and go
Cuz time don’t wait for no one
Chorus:
My oh my I just might be a rolling stone
No matter where I go
I feel like I’m right at home
But I know it won’t be long before I’m gone that’s the way I do
It’s the life I live
The road I choose
Wrong or right I just might be a rolling stone
Rolling rolling
I think I might be a rolling stone
Rolling rolling
Bridge:
Feet don’t fail me now
I’m running through the sky trying to touch the ground
Can somebody tell me when
Tell me why
Tell me how I got this far
Maybe, let’s make believe
I can make friends with Gravity
Tell him to release his hold on me
So I can fly like the wind
But until then I’m a rolling stone
Chorus:
My oh my I just might be a rolling stone
No matter where I go
I feel like I’m right at home
But I know it won’t be long before I’m gone that’s the way I do
It’s the life I live
The road I choose
Wrong or right I just might be a rolling stone
Rolling rolling
I think I might be a rolling stone
Rolling rolling

Verse 1:
I can tell when I look into your eyes
There’s a secret you’re keeping deep inside
And you know the same is true for me too
I have my doubts I have my reasons
Pre-Chorus:
And as the night starts to fall over the sky
And a lightness overtakes my mind
I misplace my reasons, no longer believe them
And as these walls around us start to bend
I let down the ones guarding my heart
I no longer need them no
Chorus:
Let’s just get drunk and tell each other our secrets
Let’s just get high and travel to another place in time
When we were young and dumb and we fell in love
Let’s get intoxicated and fall in love
Let’s get intoxicated and fall in love
Let’s get intoxicated and fall in love
and fall in love again
Verse 2:
It’s been a while how have you been
I’ve been well to thanks for asking
Let’s cut to the chase, we both know what we are feeling
Spark the flame and light the conversation
Pre-Chorus:
And as the night starts to fall over the sky
And a lightness overtakes my mind
I misplace my reasons, no longer believe them
And as these walls around us start to bend
I let down the ones guarding my heart
I no longer need them no
Chorus:
Let’s just get drunk and tell each other our secrets
Let’s just get high and travel to another place in time
When we were young and dumb and we fell in love
Let’s get intoxicated and fall in love
Let’s get intoxicated and fall in love
Let’s get intoxicated and fall in love
and fall in love again
Bridge:
Even if we regret it in the morning
Just take it in slow it down
And get faded (say what say what)
And get faded (say what say what)
Even if we regret it in the morning
Just take it in slow it down
And get faded (say what say what)
And get faded
And fall in love again
Chorus with crowd:
Let’s just get drunk and tell each other our secrets
Let’s just get high and travel to another place in time
When we were young and dumb and we fell in love
Let’s get intoxicated and fall in love
Let’s get intoxicated and fall in love
Let’s get intoxicated and fall in love
and fall in love again

Verse 1:
It ain’t always gonna be sunny outside
Sometimes you find yourself right
Smack dab in the middle of a dark cloud
(that seems to stick around for a while)
And while everybody’s smiling
You find yourself wondering
why it happens to you and only you and never them
Pre-Chorus:
But right around the corner there’s a place where you will find
yourself thinking wow, if only I knew then what I know now
Chorus:
It gets better
It gets better
It gets better
It gets better
Verse 2:
To my single mamas working hard to provide
To my young brothas hustling tryna survive
Oh yeah this is for my students worried about tuition
My tenants scraping up past-due rent
And we know money aint always the issue
Got heartache and heartbrake
I hate you’s I miss you’s
And the loss of loved ones cut the deepest
It’s hard living knowing you’ll never see them
Pre-Chorus:
But right around the corner there’s a place where you will find
yourself thinking wow, if only I knew then what I know now
Chorus:
It gets better
It gets better
It gets better
It gets better
Bridge:
So hold on and let to
Hold on and let go of the past
Hold onto hope and let go
Hold on a let go of the pain of the past
Pre-Chorus:
But right around the corner there’s a place where you will find
yourself thinking wow, if only I knew then what I know now
Chorus (2x):
It gets better
It gets better
It gets better
It gets better

Emotional

Verse 1:
I started off functional
To tell the truth
I loved getting wasted off of you
But I swear that I was functional
Wanted but didn’t need you
Never too hard to leave you
But something happened last time you let go of my hand
Ashamed to say along the way I lost myself in my feelings
Pre-chorus:
You’re in my heart
You’re in my head
This is more than a crush
This is different
You’re in my veins
Deep in my brain
You replay and play again and again
I’m thinking
Chorus:
When did I get so emotional
Over you
Like when did I lose my control
What did you do
Cuz boy I lost my will
I can’t keep still
Thirst feels so real
Sometimes it makes me cry
When did I get so emotional
Over you
Boy I’m so emotional
Verse 2:
I try to hide the way I feel
When I look in your eyes
But I can’t pretend that I don’t feel
Like I’m dying inside
And I don’t have the right to wonder where you are at night
Cuz you don’t belong to me
But when we’re lying side by side
Face to face and up all night
Feels like it’s just you and me yeah
Pre-chorus
You’re in my heart
You’re in my head
This is more than a crush
This is different
You’re in my veins
Deep in my brain
You replay and play again and again
I’m thinking
Chorus:
When did I get so emotional
Over you
Like when did I lose my control
What did you do
Cuz boy I lost my will
I can’t keep still
Thirst feels so real
Sometimes it makes me cry
When did I get so emotional
Over you
Boy I’m so emotional
Bridge:
Was it the first time that we kissed
Or was it the day that we stayed up all night
Getting intoxicated
Deep in conversation
I knew the game but I decided to play it
And this is what I was afraid of
So many times I try to push you away but
When I say leave I really want you to stay with me
Oo-ooh you’re in my heart you’re in my head
This is more than a crush this is different
You’re in my veins deep in my brain
You replay again and again and again
Chorus:
When did I get so emotional
Over you
Like when did I lose my control
What did you do
Cuz boy I lost my will
I can’t keep still
Thirst feels so real
Sometimes it makes me cry
When did I get so emotional
Over you
Boy I’m so emotional

Or if she leave will he be the one that be crying to her
Look...But she can tell by how his actions is

Chase It
03:02
|

Verse 1:
I woke up and I felt a little different today
The sun was in my eyes but a smile was on my face
I didn't have any plans
But in my mind I began to understand
That today I was given a chance to make something of me
You know it's hard to get back up when you've been knocked down to the ground
But I heard a small voice from inside of my head
Chorus:
Said if you got a dream
Then chase it
But you gotta work hard and be patient
Reach for the stars right where you are
And don't be afraid to give your whole heart
And dream
And then chase it
Verse 2:
I met an old man and he said that he had a vision
He didn't have a lot of money but he sure had lots of wisdom
He said I thought I was living but who am I kidding
I always chose to play it safe
I had a dream in my heart
But I chose to hide it away
He said that it's hard to get back up when you've been
knocked down to the ground
But if I can go back there's some things that I would change
Chorus:
Said if you got a dream
Then chase it
But you gotta work hard and be patient
Reach for the stars right where you are
And don't be afraid to give your whole heart
And dream
And then chase it
(Talking)
Look
We only got one life to live
And when you feel something strong on your heart and you want to do it
You go ahead and do it
Put your all into it
And believe me
Things will work themselves out
'Cause God don't give you a dream to tease you
He puts it on your heart because that's your purpose
You can't let your purpose slip away
(If you got a dream)
You gotta chase it

so let’s take a little time to unwind
And relax…relax
Forget about the problems you have
And just relax…kick back
Make some moments we’ll remember tomorrow
