JordanKnowsYou - Be Like This

It was never meant to be like this
Nah, it was never meant to be like this
You go through life, you see all this shit
But, it was never meant to be like this
It was never meant to be like this
Nah, it was never meant to be like this
You go through life, you see all this shit
But, it was never meant to be like this
I can reminisce and shit but it won't be different
Think of stuff I did, like I wish I didn't
I wanna be a hero and complete my mission
But the real me just don't seem to fit in
As a little kid didn't know who to be
Cause the real world didn't appeal to me
But as you grow up you'll learn to see
That the real world's not what it appears to be
Life isn't fair, no it really isn't
My Mum use to lie about Dad in prison
And now we're older, he tells stories we listen
I guess now we know he was a man on a mission
He's getting older now he wears glasses for vision
I can't help but wonder if this is what he envisioned
Cause light splits off when it goes through a prism
The same way life splits when you make a decision
When I was young I used to think I was cursed
Cause all the people around me seem to get hurt
But life goes on another lesson is learnt
And you'll meet people you know have it worse
But, it was never meant to be like this
You'll take some hits and you're sure to miss
But you gotta keep going
One step into the unknowing
Right now you think they only see you when you're glowing
But they've always been knowing
The talent's always been showing
There's no chance of slowing
Cause you can only keep growing
And you're gonna make mistakes before your coming of age
Buts that's just another chapter, you can flip the page
You can flip the script, It was never meant to be like this
And in this life, you can never really be equipped
I'm only 22 but trust me I have seen some shit
And just because you have a plan doesn't mean its sticks
I was just a kid, with some stories to share
My head was in the clouds like I ran out of air
Miss Parks use to say "it's all about flair"
So now I do it big, I don't care if they care
I gotta be honest cause this just ain't how I planned it
I wanna be modest cause I just can't understand it
When people ask me now how I got where I am
Well if life is a game then I definitely scammed it
Cause
It was never meant to be like this
Nah, it was never meant to be like this
You go through your life, you see all this shit
But, it was never meant to be like this
It was never meant to be like this
Nah, it was never meant to be like this
You go through your life, you see all this shit
But, it was never meant to be like this
