Sometimes when I'm alone in the night time
I think of things I wish I did right, now
I know that I'm not perfect but lord knows I try to be
I try to be
I try to be
I try to be
I try to be
I try to be
I try to be
Sometimes when I'm alone in the night time
I think of things I wish I did right now
I know that I'm not perfect but lord knows I try to be
I try to be
I try to be
I try to be
I try to be
I try to be
I try to be
I wish I could stop trying to be picture perfect
And instead paint a perfect picture on this blank canvas
I know God paved the way, I'll follow what he planted
Sometimes I get overwhelmed with all the things I manage
I've been super low but still dreaming shooting for planets
Get so high up when I come down NASA land me
And I pass around my Grammys to my family
And put a hundred grand away for my grandkids
Ain't it funny how my life changed
Old ways, old things done changed overnight, hey
Yeah I hope this is the right way
Cause I've been walking for too long
There ain't no other ways in sight yet
I keep moving despite my doubts
I couldn't come this far and turn back now
I get put into a hole and then I'll climb out
Think I won't get to the finish, just wait till you go and find out
Sometimes when I'm alone in the night time
I get down, get a pad and write rhymes
I know that it's not perfect
But Lord knows it was to me
Sometimes when I'm alone in the night time
I wish I did things right last time
I know that I'm not perfect
But Lord knows I try to be
Sometimes when I'm alone in the night time
I think of things I wish I did right now
I know that I'm not perfect
But Lord knows I try to be
I try to be
I try to be
I try to be
I try to be
I try to be
I try to be
And sometimes when I'm alone in the night time
I think of things I wish I did right now
I know that I'm not perfect
But Lord knows I try to be
I try to be
I try to be
I try to be
I try to be
I try to be
I try to be
Sometimes when I'm alone in the night time
Get down, get a pad and write rhymes
I know that it's not perfect
But Lord knows it was to me
Sometimes when I'm alone in the night time
I think of things I wish I did right now
I know that I'm not perfect
But Lord knows I try to be
I try to be
I try to be
I try to be
And I try to be
I try to be
I try to be
