Settle

Excepting things for what they are
Been in the same position 
Thus far
All I have to show 
Is the room for no growth
Felt like I was in a loop
Trying to throw the ball in a hoop
No need to explain
Seems like everything still the same
Steam coming through my kettle
So why continue to settle

Dont let anyone or anything (anything)
Oh yeaaaahhhh
Determine what your life can bring 
Out or in 
In or out
No one knows what your stories about
No need for medallions or metals
Just do not settle

You know how you do
Want greatness to represent you(you)
But are you really trying 
Trying to impress
A world that's steady dying
No uplifting 
Alot of crying
Lets put the pain in the past 
Know that trouble will not last
Whatever you decide to do
Know that its all up to you 

Dont let anyone or anything (anything)
Oh yeaaaahhhh
Determine what your life can bring 
Out or in 
In or out
No one knows what your stories about
No need for medallions or metals
Just do not settle

Even when times get hard 
And they will
That's the time to stay still
Oh yea 
No matter what you're going through
There's still time to improve
Whether in a relationship 
Or on a job 
You will exceed 
Yes you will
You will make it
Its apart of the deal
Dont ever think 
You have to accept
People not knowing
Your wealth
Dont you ever just sit there and let
People do things they will later regret
Get yourself together find a way out 
That what not settling is all about 



Dont let anyone or anything (anything)
Oh yeaaaahhhh
Determine what your life can bring 
Out or in 
In or out
No one knows what your stories about
No need for medallions or metals
Just do not settle

Repeat until chorus fades
