I'm Good

from I Know I Waited by Ascidzz

/

about

This song is about persevering and staying focused regardless of pressures regarding other people actively trying to destroy the way or the way itself being a rough and tough one. Through it comes some changes, and some changes require different kinds of help -- which we sometimes also have to be our best coach for. Self-esteem, self-image, knowing the power and strength within you and having the patience for yourself where people won't even acknowledge where they've seen your light. It's no wonder why once you have success, it's like "I'm Good."

lyrics

It's what you tell yourself
You've gotta say: I'm good
Some don't want to help,
Some just want to play: I'm good

It's bad for your health
Can't get in the way: I'm good
Check yourself: I'm good
Tell yourself: I'm good

It's what you tell yourself
You've gotta say: I'm good
Some don't want to help,
Some just want to play: I'm good

It's bad for your health
Can't get in the way: I'm good
Check yourself: I'm good
Tell yourself: I'm good



First of all I'm proud of myself
For how far I've came
In the gym getting my gains
I've been working on my game.

How I caught up to these niggas
And I put their shit to shame.
Dedicated to my vision
I can't see no other way.

They stare at me 'cause I shimmer shine
And I don't need a chain
How they tell me they look in my eyes
And see I've been through pain

I done really conquered flames.
...
It fucked my heart up
But I'm still the same.

I need love, I need love
I need love...
But all I know is how to be love...
I don't know how to receive love

I been focused, grinding,
Absorbing, refining
I'm tryna give you all that I got

Ain't no shortcuts, trying
I'm going, finding.
Whatever's meant for me from my God


It's what you tell yourself
You've gotta say: I'm good
Some don't want to help,
Some just want to play: I'm good

It's bad for your health
Can't get in the way: I'm good
Check yourself: I'm good
Tell yourself: I'm good

It's what you tell yourself
You've gotta say: I'm good
Some don't want to help,
Some just want to play: I'm good

It's bad for your health
Can't get in the way: I'm good
Check yourself: I'm good
Tell yourself: I'm good



Sometimes I gotta miss out
Visiting your party
Priority is making sure
I'm prepared for when they call me

Not a target, just because you're
At the wall looking at me
How you all up in my business
But disregarding me

I'm too focused on getting what I'm owed
So do not bother me
I gotta make sure I'm cemented
Before they can walk on me

They pick the obvious
But I'm too tall for these little trees
They'll say I'm Hollywood
'Cause I ain't lost tryna make you see me.

Your DNA is piece of cake
I had to beat my fate
Fuck cards dealt, I look at myself
And I see I'm great

Wasn't even close to where I could've been
Still people hated
Every day I'm full of gratitude
I keep creating

Kept tryna prepare, fuck it
I took a leap of faith in it
Now we're eating great, innit
Seafood and steak, innit

Shawty feed me grapes and shit
Every single day is lit.
Black sheep. Unique.
For my loved ones it's the greatest gift.
