Tomorrow
Brittany Howard Lyrics

I found myself free from another
I am no longer tied down by someone else, and am able to move forward.

To walk into another
To move onto something new and different.

I'm only free as I remember
I am only free in my thoughts and memories, as they allow me to escape from my current situation.

I stayed busy enough doing the rituals, you know?
I kept myself occupied with routine tasks, even if they did not bring me happiness or fulfillment.

And pretend I don't see (pretend I don't see)
I ignore and push aside my problems and insecurities, even though they are affecting me.

My worth (see my worth)
My value as a person and my self-worth are being questioned and undermined.

Changin' hands
My worth is shifting and being taken away from me.

I'm not lovin' (I'm not lovin')
I am not feeling love or happiness in my current state.

I'm returnin' to (I'm returnin' to)
I am going back to a previous state or mindset, to find a sense of comfort or peace.

To whatever I wanna do (whatever I wanna do)
I am going to do what I want and what makes me happy, without being held back by anyone else's expectations or opinions.

And makin' plans
I am looking forward and making goals to achieve what I want in life.

Tomorrow, I'll be better
I have hope for the future and am determined to improve myself and my life.

Now that we're here, what you gon' do with it?
We are in the present moment, so what are we going to do with it and how are we going to change our lives for the better?

(We gonna say, "What the fuck?")
We might be overwhelmed or surprised by the changes we need to make, but it is necessary for our growth and happiness.

I feel, but what you gon' show me?
I have emotions and feelings, but what are others going to do to support me and help me through them?

(All the love)
I need love and support from others to overcome my struggles and challenges.

But what do you see?
What do others think of me and how do they perceive me?

(Not enough)
Their perception of me is not enough, and I need to do more to prove my worth and value as a person.

Know what stands in the way?
There are obstacles and challenges in my way that are preventing me from achieving my goals and being happy.

(All of us)
We are all responsible for overcoming these obstacles and creating a better future for ourselves and others.

Now what you gon' do 'bout it?
What actions are we going to take to make positive changes in our lives and for the world around us?

(Get up, get up)
We need to get up and start making these changes now.

Ow, ow, ow-ow
An expression of passion or intensity in the moment.

Mm, mm, mm-mm
An expression of contemplation or reflection in the moment.

And tomorrow, I ain't talkin' 'bout tomorrow
I am not just talking about the future, but also about the present moment and how we can make changes now.

Ooh, ow
An expression of passion or intensity.
