lyrics

Integrity inevitably seeks security
We all looking for loyalty
In this mad and crazy world
Gwen Stefani gets it
I'm just a girl
Searching for sunshine
Something that's eternal
Hold my head up high
Some praying for my downfall
I gotta invest and manifest
These intentions a life
Full of love full of blessings
Humble and pure
Reach my highest ascension
Usually the biggest prevention
My own worst enemy
Fear of failure had me paralyzed at the feet
Trudging thru the mud til there was no more
Blood to bleed
With da faith of a mustard seed
Cut the shackles off
Some wanted beef
So I gave am stroganoff
Blew up like a molotov
Mims said it best
And this is why I'm hot
Ready or not
Life's gonna happen to you

And this a sign
That things will get better
And this a sign
That things will get better
No matter the weather
Things will get better
Things will get better
No matter the weather
Things will get better
Things will get better
No matter the weather
Things will get better

Just a train of thought
All good things fall apart
Guess we have a change of heart
Paranoia pessimism sometimes get the best of me
Depression needs attention
Manifesting something more positive
Getting a lil bit older now
Feelin a little bit bolder now
Been taking all my failures
And spinning them into gold now
And now I'm feeling golden now
Redemption is very tempting
Especially when you keep fucking up
It's dangerous being angry at your failures
Keep blaming it on ya self
Ask for help if your going thru hell
And so compelled to leave this realm
And so compelled to leave this realm

And this a sign
That things will get better
And this a sign
That things will get better
No matter the weather
Things will get better
Things will get better
No matter the weather
Things will get better
Things will get better
No matter the weather
Things will get better
Things will get better
Things will get better
Things will get better
Things will get better
Things will get better
No matter the weather
Things will get better
Things will get better
No matter the weather
Things will get better
Things will get better
No matter the weather
Things will get better
