Not a Phase Lyrics by AVGUST

The Edible Complex

2021

(Intro)
Down in the dumps, I resurface
I feel like I out the worth in worthless
Take all my lumps with a purpose
Higher than a bird despite the burdens

(Chorus)
Things are not going my way
But I'm still waking up grateful everyday
Ok ok (uh huh)
Bad vibes come around but never stay
It won't kill you so don't take it to the grave
(Yeah yeah)
What can I say (hey)
Hey, things are not going my way
But I'm still waking up grateful everyday
Ok ok (uh huh)
Life is only what you make
It won't kill you so don't take it to the grave
That's what I say

(Bridge)
I cannot complain
Whether I'm crying or smiling through the pain
I survived anothеr day
As a child I was afraid of obligations
Now I recognize that time was not a phasе

(Verse 1)
But I'm great
And that instant validation ain't been hitting so I'll wait
Long as it takes
Keeping the faith
Can't hit the breaks
But I can't catch 'em either man shit
Thinking it's best for me to vanish
Slipping fast I need a damn grip
Plan B to C to plan X
Nothing a lil tequila can't fix
I find my place when I'm falling to pieces
And you best believe that it's tiring
Things looking bleak then I'm due for a peak
If I'm weakened at lease I'm inspiring
My time is money and talking is cheap
But I don't say a peep, I ain't buying in
I got people who love me and people who don't
But they still want a piece of the pie again

(Chorus)
Things are not going my way
But I'm still waking up grateful everyday
Ok ok (uh huh)
Bad vibes come around but never stay
It won't kill you so don't take it to the grave
(Yeah yeah)
What can I say (hey)
Hey, things are not going my way
But I'm still waking up grateful everyday
Ok ok (uh huh)
Life is only what you make
It won't kill you so don't take it to the grave
That's what I say

(Verse 2)
Super busy so it's crazy that I'm looking for a rush
I'm a waiter but i need a different bus
Cause tables aren't the way to get them bucks
Thankful for the woman that I love
And the homies always picking up
Late night corner store runs
Like do you wanna come just for fun

(Bridge)
I cannot complain
Whether I'm crying or smiling through the pain
I survived another day
As a child I was afraid of obligations
Now I recognize that time was not a phase
