i'm NOT great

I'm not great, but I'm working on it Guess I'm still a work in progress Life's tough, but I'm giving her my best I'm not great, if I'm being honest Think I'm bout out of options Maybe I shouldn't have cheated on that test But hindsight's 20-20, guess I'm learning too late That it takes more than some sarcasm to deal with the pain And wish somebody would've told me back then That things were gonna make even less sense When I grow up to be...me But me wasn't bad till I checked out my peers They got married with babies and careers While, I stocked a shelf for a whole nother year And act like I ain't really swimming in fear About what the future holding for my dumb ass When life ain't adding up, you need to subtract The things that ain't really serving you, they're doing you wrong Gotta live your own life, gotta move it along I said live your own life, don't worry about them Don't look at their pool, baby, jump right in Cause comparison's a killer with a capital C And the person that you think you are's the person you be So I think I'm gonna give myself a personal break Try and get myself a pass for the read in my bank Sometimes the shot ain't going in, it's a give and a take But just cause you're down now, that don't mean you ain't great I'm not great, but I'm working on it Guess I'm still a work in progress Life's tough, but I'm giving her my best I'm not great, if I'm being honest Think I'm bout out of options Maybe I should've cheated on that test And my best ain't always the best But I give it all I can, and I'm keeping it honest And my best might not be the best But I give it all I can, and I'm keeping it honest So I know I'm not great, but I'm working on it Guess I'm still a work in progress Life's tough, but I'm giving her my best I'm not great, if I'm being honest Think I'm bout out of options Maybe I should've cheated on that test
