Drowning in self-pity
Rather than taking accountability
Living in this city
I've wasted so much opportunity
I don't take many chances
Even when they're handed to me
I don't take enough advantage of the many of the tools
That my God has given me
I take it too easy on myself
I reach from the very bottom of the shelf
Making excuses right and left
For why I just shouldn't get outta bed
Cause every day I lose that chance to
Break the constant pattern
Cause I'm hopelessly stubborn
I guess you could say I've hit a wall
But the truth is I have not
Every single moment
I think I might change my mentality
I always say this time
I'll be different on the other side
Give me one more day
I promise that I'll stay
Concentrated and still
Gimme one more shot
I promise that I'm not
Just a void that needs to be filled
I take it too easy on myself
You could say I just needed a break
The truth is I don't need any help
I just need to follow through with what I say
I know what I need to do and yet I refuse
To try another way
I'm taking it too easy, no more taking it easy
On myself
(I take it too darn easy on myself, I take it too darn easy on myself)
On myself
(I take it too darn easy on myself, I take it too darn easy on myself)
