Highlight reels
Highlight reels
Woah
Highlight reels
Life ain't always highlight
Highlight reels
Like flowers in the field
Sometimes you feel low
Ain't always highlight reels
(Ain't always highlight reels)
Highlight reels
Life ain't always highlight
Highlight reels
From the pain you grow
Like flowers in the field
Sometimes you feel low
Ain't always highlight reels
(Ain't always highlight reels)
A lot of folks only post the highs
Gotta tell you the truth can't hide
A lot of times I'm low can't lie
Gotta learn to enjoy the ride
I be so stuck all in my mind
But ups and downs it's all a part of life
Yeah
Gotta embrace it
Everyday won't be amazing
But as long as your heart racing
Better days on the way be patient
Don't follow the hype
They only showing highlights
Life get dark like night
Follow the son it get bright
Highlight reels
Life ain't always highlight
Highlight reels
From the pain you grow
Like flowers in the field
Sometimes you feel low
Ain't always highlight reels
(Ain't always highlight reels)
Highlight reels
Life ain't always highlight
Highlight reels
From the pain you grow
Like flowers in the field
Sometimes you feel low
Ain't always highlight reels
(Ain't always highlight reels)
If I stay looking back in the hindsight
Like high beams it keep blinding me
From what's in front of my eyes
Up ahead and what's beside of me
I got to stay focused
Cause I'm only here for a moment
God said I'm chosen
And I'm trying to get closer
I use to want the spotlight
Now I just want a spot right
Next to the one who laid down his own
In exchange for my life
Everyday not gone be a highlight
Every post not gone have high likes
I know I can't get it all right
But I know I'm gone be alright
Highlight reels
Life ain't always highlight
Highlight reels
From the pain you grow
Like flowers in the field
Sometimes you feel low
Ain't always highlight reels
(Ain't always highlight reels)
Highlight reels
Life ain't always highlight
Highlight reels
From the pain you grow
Like flowers in the field
Sometimes you feel low
Ain't always highlight reels
(Ain't always highlight reels)

He acknowledges his own struggles with feeling low at times but reminds us that we should enjoy the ride and stay patient for better days.

If one keeps looking back into the past
Like high beams it keep blinding me
Reflecting on the past can often blind one from present opportunities
From what's in front of my eyes
Future opportunities may be missed if one stays dwelling in the past

I got to stay focused
