Life Design Lyrics by Sir Ivy

The Grandiose

2018

It doesn’t have to be this way, no
I’m in control
Said it doesn’t have to be this way, no
No no no no
Hurry
Run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Waking up at 5 AM to sit up in a cubicle, I’m sleep deprived
You know I am
Think I’m running out of PTO, but I really really need some time
And some peace of mind, yea
My supervisor hating, though (hater, hater)
She don’t wanna see me go (hater, hater)
She ain’t trying to approve it
She don’t want me out upon the beach feeling groovy (hater)
Damn
(hater) That’s a hater to the core
I don’t think I can do this anymore
I wanna go see the world and explore
So I go, now
I don’t even walk, man I run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run now
This ain’t the way that I thought things would turn out
Constantly burn up so I do not burn out
Heart rate is probably somewhere in the 90s
I damn near wanna go back to the 90s, damn
Damn, damn, damn
Fucking shit
It doesn’t have to be this way
It doesn’t have to be this way, no
Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen now
Repeat after me
Repeat after me
Repeat after me
It doesn’t have to be this way at all
I’m in control
Yea, I’m in control
It doesn’t have to be this way at all
It doesn’t have to be this way ‘cause I know that I’m in control, yea
Yea yea yea
I’m in control
Run, run, run
And I do believe there's an ending in sight
I been self-working, trying to act on the insights
I been meditating, trying to make sense of this life
Trying to pivot and adjust so I'm doing things right
Right now I'm having the time of my life
It's time for my time, the timing is right
Focus forward, no rewinding my life
I am building my building, designing my life
I need some more time out in Sweden with fam
And I need to move freely in Cali, Atlanta
Wherever
Getting my body together
Boxing and artistry, all the endeavors
Monetize what I love and excel at
Work from wherever the reception to my cell at
Authorship, marketing, entrepreneurship
Profit from passion I'm rapping and touring
Fans in the stands and they all wanna see me
Family, fatherhood, Tabia, Mimie
Vicky and Ellie, Bonita I need them around me
'cause their energy keeps me grounded
I just wanna be around those that I love, yeah, yeah
All the time, all the time, all the time, yeah
I just wanna do the things that I love, yeah, yeah
All the time, all the time, all the time, yeah
They say the world do’t work that way
I say “Fuck it”
That’s the way I’ma design my life
Surrounded by those I love constantly
That’s what’s laid out for me
That’s how my life’s got to be
‘Cause that’s what I designed for me
60 hours a week
It doesn’t have to be this way
I’m in control
It doesn’t have to be this way at all
