It Gets Better [With Time] lyrics

[Verse 1]

Is something wrong?

'Cause you seem mighty low

Tell me what's going on

Probably been there before

Sit up and fix your face

You see me, I'm okay

We ain't got time today

Throw on your darkest shades and

Smile for the camera

I want you to know

[Chorus]

(I just hope you know that, that it gets)

That it gets better with time

(I just hope you know that, that it gets)

That it gets better with time

(I just hope you know that, that it gets)

That it gets better with time

(I just hope you know that, that it gets)

That it gets better with time

[Verse 2]

Keep it up

I see you holding on

But it was easy, no?

Now you feel all alone

Quit crying, ease your pain

Gon' be here either way

Nowhere to place the blame

So put your make up on and

Smile in the mirror

I want you to know

[Chorus]

(I just hope you know that, that it gets)

That it gets better with time

(I just hope you know that, that it gets)

That it gets better with time

(I just hope you know that, that it gets)

That it gets better with time

(I just hope you know that, that it gets)

That it gets better with time

[Verse 3: Big Rube]

Your inner strength is the reason you haven't said a word

But your countenance reveals the bad day that you've endured

It's probably not the first and not the last to be assured

The past is fleeting the future

A promise present keeping us moving forward

With hope we seek true happiness

Throughout our lives with

Trials we face bring pain and sorrow, but resistance sires strength

The easy path rarely leads to what our heart truly desires

In this life we must face many a worthy challenge for the outcome to satisfy us

To win in spite of struggle implies much greater magnification

To ones honor which I value more than instant-gratification

So believe me when I say that time can heal most any wound

And ease most pain, yet the scars remain until the day we lay entombed

So please know nothing in this moment is the same as a moment ago

Each one that pass is a treasure lost.......

[Chorus]

(I just hope you know that, that it gets)

That it gets better with time

(I just hope you know that, that it gets)

That it gets better with time

(I just hope you know that, that it gets)

That it gets better with time

(I just hope you know that, that it gets)

That it gets better with time

(I just hope you know that, that it gets)

(I just hope you know that, that it gets)

(I just hope you know that, that it gets)

(I just hope you know that, that it gets)

[Outro: Patrick Paige II]

Tommorrow's not in your hands

That's why I pray to the man

And I think it's arrogant to make plans in advance

One day at a time

I burn the sage for all the negative, pay it no mind

I'm at ease with the struggles, they're better with time

Need not I remind

Tomorrow's not in your hands, neither is control

Nigga, reap what you sow and pay it in full

Think before you burn the bridge, paying the toll

Just play your role

So much pressure in the world I started gnashing my teeth

Hit the gas so hard I blew a gasket and leaked

Drain me for what I got like a nasty leech

You'll find hard learned lessons just asking our teach'

Life is just what you make it, take it how you gon' take it

My ground is solid and no earthquake could not shake it

Ain't waiting on nothing, not even no reparations

Heavily meditating, but it gets better with time

And I'm sober now, no alcohol to hide behind

I grow older and grow bolder

I move mountains and move boulders

I cross borders, don't take orders

And thank God, that's important
