MIKE - Is It Worth It? lyrics

I been so worried about tomorrow
I forgot to think about today
And it seems I'm always going
Through all this trouble
Just so I can tell myself it's OK

Cause, I ain't worried, I been broke
I ain't perfect but no one else is
So I stay searching
For the reason I been putting
All this work in and is it working?
Is it worth it? (oh)

Sure I made a couple dollars last week
Yeah, I got a couple hollers in the streets
Sweet
But for me this whole thing's a little shaky
Cause a lot of people love me
But some others fucking hate me
Shit is crazy, feeling wavy
Kissing babies, fucking ladies
Stations play me
But will any of these labels ever take me?
(Maybe) so is it really worth it?
Cause, I'd be lying if I
Told you everything was perfect
I'm not the best, probably not close
But, I know a lot of kids
That relate to my flows
So eff you to whoever say I don't deserve it
I put the work in so is it worth it?

And "everything happens for a
Reason" is the message
The good times are blessings
The bad ones are lessons
I choose to live free at the
Cost of a bad impression
Cause sleeping till noon and
Drinking booze is adolescence, right?
So this life seems to be a piece of cake
But, it's tough to be sure when
Living on a leap of faith
Wait, just wait, this'll only take a minute
Before you jump to hate
Take a moment and just listen
I said no to Harvard to follow a dream
Went to Duke first year and was
The star of the team
Big man on the quad before
This scar on my arm
Went from bench to the stage
Look how far that it's gone
And sometimes I kinda miss my old life
But being on stage just feels so right
Yearbook closed, I'm on to the next chapter
Don't know what's gonna happen
But, I'll worry 'bout it after
