Come on, people, tell me something
You've got freedom
I don't know what you're waiting for
I don't even know
You're still searching, you won't find it
That's because it's
Been right there this whole time, you know
Where I'm coming from
It's a rude awakening
There's no way to escape it
Don't you give up
Turn it all around
Turn it all around
Sometimes life's unfair
Don't you let that stop you, though
I've been right where you are before
I've been there before
Don't let no one stop you, though
Happiness is for everyone
Everyone, it's for everyone
Storms keep coming, rain keeps pouring
Life's a villain
You're the hero you're searching for
You've gotta save yourself
I'm not saint, you're not either
No one's perfect
So why we trying to be perfect for?
Do we even know?
Sometimes life's unfair
Don't you let that stop you, though
I've been right where you are before
I've been there before
Don't let no one stop you, though
Happiness is for everyone
Everyone, it's for everyone
That's right, raised in a barn, I came from the bottom
Underprivileged and overly run
I heard this scuttling they called it a scheme
So I planned and I plotted to follow my dreams
I put in the work and boy did it hurt
I could have got k**ed, I could have got marked
I was out of luck with it, but I stuck with it
Now summertime I play like a ray in the vision
So you gotta go hard or go home
But you can't just sit there in the depress-o
Wallowing in self-pity, get with the nity-gritty
That's the only way you're ever gonna be sitting pretty
You need to aim for the top to reach the top
Yeah, I preach a lot but I believe I'm hot
And if you believe you're not then that's your luck
I put my life on the line just to get what I got
And guess what?
Sometimes life's unfair
Don't you let that stop you, though
I've been right where you are before
I've been there before
Don't let no one stop you, though
Happiness is for everyone
Everyone, it's for everyone
