Things Could Be Worse lyrics (Chorus x2) Some days things ain't what you thought, but look at what you've got Look at where you are instead of where you're not I ain't saying life's rosey Life's a gift not a curse Things could be worse Things could be worse Someone out there's always got it better off And I ain't got to tell you most of the world is living worse But I've been learning irrespective of your bank account and how you've been living, we're all capable of feeling hurt Believe me when I say the grass ain't always greener on the other side Things are always looking plenty different through another's eyes We're all struggling with demons that we hide inside That's more work than a 9 to 5 That said, things could be worse, I don't mean to dismiss your struggle But a lot of us are living in a bubble Feeling stuck alone in a pit buried deep within the ground If we look, we'll see more people further down I'm not saying we can't hurt, but perspective goes a long way We're all in this at the end of the day Got to keep moving forward even when we feel we're stuck in reverse Things could be better, but things could be worse (Chorus x2) Some days things ain't what you thought, but look at what you've got Look at where you are instead of where you're not I ain't saying life's rosey Life's a gift not a curse Things could be worse Things could be worse Don't stare up at the clouds too long, they don't all live in olympus Some people's lives just seem like the simplest I know from the outside, it looks like a walk in the park But I know you didn't see them walk the distance Don't look up at the clouds too long, you can't move on You can't feel his blisters if you ain't got that man's shoes on You can't cry the same tears that his eyes have poured So from the outside, he's good of course We see others living the lives that we fantasize We don't see all the pain, how they agonize Night terrors ain't the best product to advertise So we don't see all of the grey in other people's skies It's all about your progress, you've got to trust the process Reaching new heights on your climb will make you nauseous Be cautious, but trust me, the doors will open You've just got to learn to be your own locksmith when (Chorus x2) Things ain't what you thought, but look at what you've got Look at where you are instead of where you're not I ain't saying life's rosey Life's a gift not a curse Things could be worse Things could be worse

Better Than Ever lyrics I write the hook and they sing along Even all y'all who don't know the song God's got plans for me, I don't see anything going wrong Been writing and dreaming, recording and scheming, no easy route to the top First, got to make this thing pop, then we proceed to acquire the guap Look, I rep the city like day and night The difference between us is day and night Cards in my hand, trying to play it right While the rest of y'all busy just sharing hype They didn't believe in me, no, but I thought that I'd give it a go Now it looks like we live on the road And if they don't know us, they're all about to know I've been cool like sasquatch I tell all the fakes, masks off I've got to keep my cool before I get a big head looking like mascots I've been at it, I've been at it I've been rising, y'all titanic I've been trying, I've been trying You people can't deny it Best rapper in my city that nobody knows I've been knocking down my goals one by one like they're dominoes Everybody talking smack like let's just see how far it goes But betting against me, well, my dude, that's just comical I’m feeling good (feeling good) Feeling great (feeling great) You can’t harsh me on my vibe make no mistake I’m feeling good (feeling good) I’m feeling great (feeling great) You can’t harsh me on my vibe make no mistake I’m feeling Better than ever (what) Better than ever (huh) Better than ever (how you feeling?) Better than ever I learned not to second guess I promise I'll never be second best What's the cost to be great, I'll pay it in full with some interest They want it, I got it I am it, they're not it They said shoot your shot and I shot it The difference between us is heart because I know I'll pick up the ball if I drop it You say that you're popping, stop it I'm sedimentary how I rock it Doors open how I knock it Trying to turn all these plaudits to profit Take it one step at a time, and trust that your moment is coming You're a fool if you climb to the summit and don't have a picture to prove that you've done it Never been one to fall back Keenan and Kel because I'm all that Writing my name in all caps You're about as rap as tall fraps Aww snap, he said it, who would have called that Found my calling and I'm hoping that it calls back Putting the hours in, not enough time in the day Making sure that I'm heard, because I've got plenty to say I put my all behind my words No regrets, man, I’m hoping that you heard that I’m feeling good (feeling good) Feeling great (feeling great) You can’t harsh me on my vibe make no mistake I’m feeling good (feeling good) I’m feeling great (feeling great) You can’t harsh me on my vibe make no mistake I’m feeling Better than ever (what) Better than ever (huh) Better than ever (how you feeling?) Better than ever

EVERYDAY lyrics (Chorus - jo.) everyday I wake up, put my feet to the road everyday I wake up, tell myself it's time to go everybody thinking that I must be insane well I ain't coming home till the whole world knows my name (Verse 1 - The Blue) I wake up and this life beckons ups and downs, but the hunger for it never lessens not stressing, my momma always told me stay focused and in time I'll get God's blessings (yes, momma) trust me, I was born to be great my mom's pops knew it when he gave me my name (ey) that's why I work every day because a lot of people worked so my road's always paved Uh huh, I’ve been dreaming, my team scheming, what's a slice, I want the whole cake (whole cake) near or far, you're in my heart, only want real ones, no fakes (no fakes) I'll drop heat for these snowflakes my heart's in the Arctic, so no snakes I've got dreams I've got to go chase road less travelled while the rest try to play safe (Chorus - jo.) everyday I wake up, put my feet to the road everyday I wake up, tell myself it's time to go everybody thinking that I must be insane well I ain't coming home till the whole world knows my name (Verse 2 - Wyatt Trombley) Feels like I’ve been running for days My chest burns and I fear that I’m stuck in my ways I’ve been working so hard, man, I hope that it pays And that the climb to the top is worth the ball and the chain Because life’s a mix of the sun and the rain I mean yin wouldn’t be yin if he never had yang And what would pleasure be without any pain That’s why I’m Tony Hawk, grinding till it makes me insane I drove the plane Blue dropped the dang bomb on the game Five years later and we’re still out here doing our thing What you talking about, I don’t see you stopping the reign What you on about, you better stay up out of our lane Because it’s moving too fastly I’m a top boy, real one like Ashley Usain bolt, and a hundred elephants won’t pass me The sands of time won’t outlast me (Chorus - jo.) everyday I wake up, put my feet to the road everyday I wake up, tell myself it's time to go everybody thinking that I must be insane well I ain't coming home till the whole world knows my name (Verse 3 - The Blue) Hit some goals that I never could have fathomed I'm chasing heights, climbing straight up out the chasm I've met some heroes and I wonder how it happened Learning I can make reality out of all that I imagine I put the work in everyday So when I'm older and I'm grey, I could take a look and say That's a life well lived, turned a passion in action And never fell or wavered to distractions Trying to write my name in history, want more than a caption Got my heart on my sleeve, it's more than just fashion I've been knocked on the ground, got back on my feet Tell the people on the throne they can vacate my seat Make way, got no plans to hold back Saying it's impossible, already been told that No specific road map Scribble in my notepad Every single day so you're seeing where my soul's at (Chorus - jo.) everyday I wake up, put my feet to the road everyday I wake up, tell myself it's time to go everybody thinking that I must be insane well I ain't coming home till the whole world knows my name

Let’s hear it! (Chorus - Caitlin Herring & ThEm) x2 Maybe it ain't all we thought, but baby, it's all we've got Maybe it ain't all we thought, but baby, it's all we've got (Verse 1 - The Blue) Look, life's cruel But whoever thought it wasn't, baby, he's a fool Life never promised us a thing on this rock called home That's why I'm all hallelujah, amen, shalom But what I mean is I ain't got the answers figured out, I'm no genius I’m just some random kid trying to fill up these arenas All the way from Paris, Tokyo, and down to Phoenix You're out of this world how you serve them up like Venus I'll be your rain for the drought I'll be there, just give me a shout We live in a world where somebody's always out for your spot It won't change until love's all we got, yo, IT'S ALL WE (Chorus - Caitlin Herring & ThEm) x2 Maybe it ain't all we thought, but baby, it's all we've got Maybe it ain't all we thought, but baby, it's all we've got (Bridge - Caitlin Herring) Maybe it ain't everything that we ever thought it'd be I've been running round in circles, trying to find where I should be I've been up and I've been down, to the bottom, to the top I've got those who held me up, and sometimes that's all we've got (Verse 2 - The Blue) What more do we want, nothing's promised When we were younger, they said drink your milk and be the strongest They gave us an outline to make life flawless But I've been thinking they weren't honest, like Life ain't rainbows and sunshine But I can guarantee you that I love mine No time to wallow and regret, so we should live like there ain't enough time Just remember whatever you dream can be in your reach Not for anybody else because that's left to us each Not to sound preachy, believe me But the fact is life in Georgia ain't always peachy We can't ever see eye to eye Long as you think, eat, live, breath different than I Got to look through it all just to give us a shot Because at the end, you and I are all that we've got (Chorus - Caitlin Herring & ThEm) x2 Maybe it ain't all we thought, but baby, it's all we've got Maybe it ain't all we thought, but baby, it's all we've got (Outro - Caitlin Herring) Maybe it ain't everything that we ever thought it'd be I've been running round in circles, trying to find where I should be I've been up and I've been down, to the bottom, to the top I've got those who held me up, and sometimes that's all we've got

Dream Big (feat. Transit22) - The Blue lyrics (Chorus - The Blue) Yo, this my life, I don’t care what anybody say, I don’t care what anybody say Yo, this my life, Imma go and do it my way, I said Imma go do it my way (Verse 1 - The Blue) They say I got to pump the breaks The lack of sleep cause these shakes Fatigue written on my face But it's a race, you either keep running or get run over It's all jokes till the fun's over Snake's slither, so I've got to cut the grass low Used to rap for fun, but now it's about the cash flow Can't hit the road when the gas is low You can't make leaps and bounds when you're a tadpole In rap, I had to grow up quick I’m talking step after step, hoping I don't slip They said I wouldn't make it and that I should quit But this is a self diagnosis because I know I'm sick, I know I'm it I want the stage and the lights But this ain't amazon prime, it won't come over night These other people get dumb over hype I'm trying to get my bank right and get the lamb over rice But let's take it down just a bit I'm not the same snot nose kid Seems I offend them how I dream so big Think I'm young Ali trying to make those hits Putting my writtens on percussion So I could be the topic of discussion They always told me, Blue, you won't ever see the day Well, get ready, because I'm on my way (Chorus - The Blue) Yo, this my life, I don’t care what anybody say, I don’t care what anybody say Yo, this my life, Imma go and do it my way, I said Imma go do it my way (Verse 2 - Transit22) Hope ya well, But me I’m feeling overwhelmed Homeward bound broken ground and I’m at the helm Since early age on the stage where I’m most myself They can’t support it cuz it seems I can’t support myself That’s why sometime drop some fire like the post myself To hammer home I’ll stand alone like this is show and tell Cuz when you break, the guts it takes will help you grow as well Address regrets and set your steps, a message from my older self When I was younger I all I wanted was to make the league I couldn’t jump, wasn’t strong, I could make a 3 Obvi never made it but the thing that alway stay with me It’s not about the goal, its the chase that will make you dream Shoot for the moon if you miss where you land It’s better than the ground having never took a chance And some cherish what I sing So I’m still cool chasing carrots on a string (Chorus - The Blue) Yo, this my life, I don’t care what anybody say, I don’t care what anybody say Yo, this my life, Imma go and do it my way, I said Imma go do it my way (Outro) Yo, this my life, I don’t care what anybody say, I don’t care what anybody say Yo, this my life, Imma go and do it my way, I said Imma go do it my way Yo, this my life, I don’t care what anybody say, look, I don’t care what anybody say Yo, this my life, Imma go and do it my way, so get with it or get out of my way

All My Life lyrics (Chorus - The Blue) I wanted this right from the jump Feeling like Donald, no feeling could trump The boom of the bass and my name up in the lights I wanted this all my life They said get your head out the clouds I'm hearing them sing as we surf through the crowd Hopping the globe, different country tonight I wanted this all my life (Verse 1 - The Blue) I can still hear the speaker crackle first time I heard Wyclef and Lauryn Hill Couldn't understand a word like foreign films All I know is at 9, I adored them still Made a run at the hill This ain't your run of the mill Like forest gump, I'm running still Sleepless nights in hopes of making this real What's it cost to be great, tell me, I'll pay the bill I've wanted this far back as I can remember A flame rose up out of an ember Dreams of joining all the greats as a member But no one believed I'd become a contender I studied these albums, The Blueprint to Stale Could feel every word like it's written in braille No doubt in my mind, it's a matter of time Remember the name as I climb (Chorus - The Blue) I wanted this right from the jump Feeling like Donald, no feeling could trump The boom of the bass and my name up in the lights I wanted this all my life They said get your head out the clouds I'm hearing them sing as we surf through the crowd Hopping the globe, different country tonight I wanted this all my life (Verse 2 - The Blue) I can still hear the speaker crackle first time I heard Wayne on Tha Carter III I knew that the music was calling me I'm destined for greatness, I got to be First time I listened to ye Had graduation just spinning all day Track after track, I was racking my brain Like how did he get it all sounding that way, going insane Fifteen when I heard blue slide park Miller had me believing I could make my mark He was nineteen, living my dream Just reminds me that life is short So I'm taking it all in day by day If you ain't been with it, then out my way I don't know what else I could really say Like this is just destiny, say my name./. (Chorus - The Blue) I wanted this right from the jump Feeling like donald, no feeling could trump The boom of the bass and my name up in the lights I wanted this all my life They said get your head out the clouds I'm hearing them sing as we surf through the crowd Hopping the globe, different country tonight I wanted this all my life (Outro) I wanted this right from the jump Feeling like donald, no feeling could trump The boom of the bass and my name up in the lights I wanted this all my life They said get your head out the clouds I'm hearing them sing as we surf through the crowd Hopping the globe, different country tonight I wanted this all my life

NO DREAMS lyrics (Chorus - The Blue) Nobody dreams these days We've been trying to reach the world with these songs we play Doubt's a broken record spinning on replay Live a life doing what we love is all we pray, ey, ey Nobody dreams these days No little hands reaching up to outer space Haven’t hit the track, already lost this race Nobody dreams these days (Verse 1 - The Blue) We're taught to stay in a lane before we find ours We've all got gifts, I wish we'd see them as divine powers They all go to waste, taught young to extinguish the flame And at the end, we've all got nothing to claim Whatever you find in this life, do it with all of your might Because when the clock runs, you're getting no second chance at the fight Find what makes you happy, that's a cliche But never let them put your fire out like an ash tray Never let them downplay Your efforts and all the heights that you're destined to see About to make good on all the faith I invested in me Settling could cost you all your joy, just check the receipts Know external voices sometimes look to crush and mislead Keep your head up no matter what you choose to pursue Don't get caught up in their doubt as you move Just imagine your potential can exceed what even you could conceive Sometimes all you've got to do is believe I know it's hard to believe (Chorus - The Blue) Nobody dreams these days We've been trying to reach the world with these songs we play Doubt's a broken record spinning on replay Live a life doing what we love is all we pray, ey, ey Nobody dreams these days No little hands reaching up to outer space Haven’t hit the track, already lost this race Nobody dreams these days (Verse 2 - Geeze) Nobody dreams these days Wait, why’s fate so tainted Confused because you don’t recognize the picture you painted Of what life would be like if things break right But now it’s faded and laced with that cadence of hatred Potential that’s wasted because you stopped believing Can’t compare yourself to someone else’s achievements You support the scene and the scene supports your dreams But your friends don’t seem to see what happened in between It’s that hard work, yard work, pulling out them weeds And the farther you go, gets harder, give up on dreams But I’m blessed to be less than keen To let success mean less to me Because I don’t reach that peak Memories I keep, sold out shows in Brooklyn and Manhattan Our music video’s on Much music, people laughing I proved to my town you can pursue music with a passion That’s why when I watch dreams lose, it’s got me asking How come (Chorus - The Blue & Geeze) Nobody dreams these days We've been trying to reach the world with these songs we play Doubt's a broken record spinning on replay Live a life doing what we love is all we pray, ey, ey Nobody dreams these days Too afraid to tell your parents it wasn’t a phase You can’t go out on a limb in case you fall on your face We ridicule anyone who dares to dream these days

A Lot lyrics (Chorus - The Blue) I don't know all that I'll do, but just know it's a lot, ey, ey This one's for all those who gave me a shot, ey, ey You know that I'll climb until we reach the top, ey, ey My momma said give all the glory to God, ey, ey He won’t ever stop (Verse 1 - The Blue) The work that I put in, a lot More than a flash in the pot Been on the sideline too long, time to get of the bench, and show all of you all that I've got Ten thousand hours and more I've been putting in work, I've been moving nonstop around the clock So just pull up a seat, sit back and relax, and watch as the boy's about to pop If you didn't know the name before, trust me, you're going to want to write it down I just simply find it funny how these people talking never quiet down We move with momentum Our names up in history, about to cement them When you're finally climbing a ladder, the snakes in the game start preparing their venom But I'm making moves, I'm blessed While others, they're getting so mad, upset We're flying high like jets The fam and the friends on the manifest My boys and I really progressed But still more to do till we're passing the best I'm telling you no time for sleep or rest Till we're booking vacays in Budapest Made advances without an advance Got real tired of waiting for chance These people still doubt I'm the man But trust me, bro, failure is not in the plans On my feet is where I'm making my stand Playing the game without showing my hand A billion or hundred grand (Chorus - The Blue) I don't know how much I'll make, but I know it's a lot, ey, ey Not the main focus, but give me the guap, ey, ey, send me the papers and maybe we'll talk, ey, ey, got Jason to come through and sign on the dot, ey, ey, I don't know what you expect, but it best be a lot, ey, ey, one in a bunch, but I'm cream of the crop, ey, ey, show up for my city, you know this is the spot, ey, ey, remember the name the before they say it a lot, ey, ey I don’t know all that I’ll do, but I know it’s a lot

Mountaintop lyrics (Chorus - Thomas Oldreive) Higher and higher I climb I keep my eyes on the skies I may never get to see the mountaintop But still I climb (Verse 1 - The Blue) It's tough luck, but we all won't see the mountaintop Don't get it twisted, doesn't mean you won't amount to much Plate at the table, I won't leave until I finish mine You won't know just how it all ends until the finish line Cliche, but you miss all the shots you don't take I focus on the ones I do instead of those I don't make Yeah, I know I make it sound easy as pie To put it simply, you won't know unless you try (just try) Some doors won't open unless you go and put your foot in I'm about to go accomplish everything thing they said I couldn't Listen, I'm not saying I don't ever doubt or hesitate Just be yourself, don't replicate I know the pressure can be taxing, but don't ever write yourself off Road to your dreams, hard to know just where to turn off No guarantee, I keep on, they ask why Because I'll never know unless I go and try./.and that's why (Chorus - Thomas Oldreive) Higher and higher I climb I keep my eyes on the skies I may never get to see the mountaintop But still I climb (Verse 2 - Bijaan) I’ve been latching on to ladders, my spikes dug in the dirt Tried crafting all the patterns, establishing my worth Just imagine if it happens, numbers hanging off of banners So every curveball that they pitch, I’m batting to the rafters It’s easy To sit back, say look at the facts Why that won’t be me Tryna read the tea leaves Standing strong with weak knees I’m of a different species It’s all-in effort so it’s Everest where you’ll see me See what’s the word Edmund Hillary Sir? Are you feeling me? I been fighting with the titans of the industry I been enlightened that life ain’t what it’s given me But what I take from every sight that I’m envisioning Yes The aim is to kick it with the best Long as that thing keep hitting in my chest Thankful I’m blessed with my own definition of success So I guess we ain’t tripping bout what’s next We just step and its… (Chorus - Thomas Oldreive) Higher and higher I climb I keep my eyes on the skies I may never get to see the mountaintop But still I climb (Bridge - The Blue) On the way, you'll hit setbacks A lot of people won't believe, make them regret that It's your journey, not theirs, don't forget that Sometimes to move forward, man, you've just got to step back Accept that not everybody around you is in your corner They ain't waiting there to wish you the best If they're not with you on the path and match your blood and your sweat Then they shouldn't be even close to where you get (Chorus - Thomas Oldreive) Higher and higher I climb I keep my eyes on the skies I may never get to see the mountaintop But still I climb

Good Old Days (Chorus - jo.) x2 We used to sit up on the chimney tops Not a care in the world we got Used to dream of writing diddy bops Just take me back to the good old days (Verse 1 - The Blue) Summer days in my home town, those times were simple Got some old lost friendships I wish I could rekindle I was young, not a care on this rock Took for granted just how easy I'd got it (take me back, man) My uncle put me on Wyclef and the Fresh Prince And I ain't been able to get music out of my head since I fell in love with the vinyl and how the deck spins And you could put that summer down on the list of my blessings Not the finished article, far from a masterpiece Days when we rapped for fun and didn't worry about packing seats Back when just being me was all I was glad to be But some days, I just feel like this life here is just passing me by I wish somebody had told us To cherish those closest and bottle those moments I wish I'd told some of my friends I've got their backs if things were ever getting tough We don't talk now, they say it's just all part of growing up, c’mon (Chorus - jo.) x2 We used to sit up on the chimney tops Not a care in the world we got Used to dream of writing diddy bops Just take me back to the good old days (Verse 2 - Thomas Oldreive) Riding down the highway with my windows down because my AC broke And those work emails, yeah, they ain’t no joke I know this ain’t the perfect situation But I know that I can make it Yeah, I know that things could be worse Come on baby, go and open up your purse I’ll put my ID inside She on the passenger side With the boys in the back Reminiscing while I’m driving Knowing I want to be back Where I am right now I can’t allow Myself to slack or take a bow Front to back, I’ll make a vow tonight Sit and yack or crease my brow ‘Cause right now, ‘cause right now Are the good old days passing me by I know I should graze, well, I’ll give it a try Enjoy the time I have and make some memories I can’t let life’s complications get the best of me, yeah (Chorus - jo.) x2 We used to sit up on the chimney tops Not a care in the world we got Used to dream of writing diddy bops Just take me back to the good old days (Verse 3 - The Blue) You play every note like you know these tunes are a blessing It was seldom I saw you stressing You could live up in the moment in the here and now I was always busy trying to get people to check us out (like come to the show) One of the best people I know Excited to see the progress and the distance you'd go You kept getting even better after every show I took pride in every second of just watching you grow (crazy) We used to say that we should catch up quick Reminisce on all the good times and days we miss But life gets in the way, just stay blessed We always knew the weather, man, with all of these rain checks Remember when we used to dream of collabs, hop off the stage and just laugh Any day we'll push these shows to every spot on the map We used to talk about going so far I just wish you weren't as far as you are Brother, Godspeed (Chorus - jo.) x2 We used to sit up on the chimney tops Not a care in the world we got Used to dream of writing diddy bops Just take me back to the good old days

Work In Progress (Chorus - The Blue) x2 I'm still far from where I want to be Left foot, then right on this path that it's front of me Praying this ground won't fall under me Just know that I'm still a (WORK IN PROGRESS) (Verse 1 - The Blue) I'm still a work in progress I've got lots to work on if I'm being honest Will I land with the stars or join falling comets Ain't a soul that could stop me and that's a promise Climbing heights that make others vomit I've been on it, ten thousand hours and counting Learned that having faith can help move mountains Far from a wolf in the deep But I've never been one to huddle with sheep, no, no, no We measure our worth by how we measure up We'd rather be better than than to better us No short cuts, it's all in the process Baby steps are still progress Look, it gets tough when you can't see the summit And you know how far the drop is if you plummet But I keep climbing and running, we've got a long way to go But I know I'll see the peak and overcome it Trust me because (Chorus - The Blue) x2 I'm still far from where I want to be Left foot, then right on this path that it's front of me Praying this ground won't fall under me Just know that I'm still a (WORK IN PROGRESS) (Verse 2 - The Blue) Trust me, if you're with me, ain't a reason for second guessing I always put the work in, sending prayers, collecting blessings Not a grey hair in sight, believe me, I'm never stressing Never one to gamble, but y'all can go and put your bets in I bet that I'll bet on myself It's all love, but if I have to, I'm there by myself Long time fan of myself I've been down beat and doubted But one thing I've learned is that no one will believe how you believe in yourself I've got this fire lit in my belly About to drop some cold cuts like I'm running a deli When we were younger, man, the goal was just being on tele Now, I've got a point to prove, you've got nothing to tell me (figures) Funny, now, we've been looking at the bigger picture But had to crop more people out We've been blessed to meet our heroes and step on all these stages But, man, I don't have it figured out I know it because (Chorus - The Blue) x2 I'm still far from where I want to be Left foot, then right on this path that it's front of me Praying this ground won't fall under me Just know that I'm still a (WORK IN PROGRESS) (Bridge - The Blue) x2 I'm still far from where I want to be Left foot, then right on this path that it's front of me Praying this ground won't fall under me Just know that I'm still a (WORK IN PROGRESS) (Chorus - The Blue) x2 I'm still far from where I want to be Left foot, then right on this path that it's front of me Praying this ground won't fall under me Just know that I'm still a (WORK IN PROGRESS)
