Sometimes
H.E.R. Lyrics

Sometimes it don't go your way
Occasionally life doesn't go as planned

Sometimes you gotta
Sometimes you must adapt

Sometimes
At times

Oh, yeah
Expressing affirmation

I had a plan, I had it mapped out
I had a well-detailed strategy plotted out

I knew where I was going when I left out
My destination was crystal clear to me

You couldn't tell me that I wouldn't be there on time
Nobody could convince me that I wouldn't make it on schedule

I had some guarantees, I had a deadline
I had assurances and a cut-off time

But now I know things change for better or worse
Now I'm aware that transformations can either be opportune or undesirable

You could say that I'm the same but
While I might look unchanged,

I adjusted through all the hurt
I'd to adapt despite the suffering

So many no's, so many yes'
I've encountered countless rejections and approvals

Don't want to blame, don't got the answers
I don't intend to hold anyone accountable or know the solutions

I felt the pain, I can attest it
I've experienced the agony and can confirm it

That's just the game and I respect it, yeah
That's merely how life works, and I acknowledge it

'Cause sometimes shit don't go your way, sometimes
Since in some cases, life doesn't go according to plan

And sometimes you gon' have those days, yeah
Occasionally, you'll have moments like this

And sometimes you'll feel out of place
And once in a while, you may feel displaced

You can't promise me it'll be the same
You cannot guarantee that everything will continue as normal

'Cause sometimes change, sometimes (yeah yeah)
Because sometimes transformation is inevitable

Sometimes change, yeah (yeah yeah)
Occasionally, there is a transformation

I had a day, I had a vision
I had a day and a vision for it

This was the day I was supposed to be living (living)
Today was the day planned for living

Instead of worrying 'bout the temporary things
Rather than stressing over transient issues

I hate not knowing where it's gonna take me
I dislike not knowing what's ahead

Ooh I was sure, but now I'm guessing
I was confident initially, but now I'm uncertain

Feel like my faith keep getting tested
It appears as if my faith keeps getting tried

I need a sign, I need a message, 'cause sometimes
I'm searching for direction, confirmation, sometimes,

'Cause sometimes shit don't go your way, sometimes (sometimes)
Because occasionally our plans go awry

And sometimes you gon' have those days, yeah (yeah, yeah)
And seldom you'll have those moments

And sometimes you'll feel out of place (out of place, yeah)
And on some occasions, you'll feel like you don't belong

You can't promise me it'll be the same (oh, that it always will be)
It's impossible to guarantee that everything will continue as before

'Cause sometimes change, sometimes (yeah yeah)
Because occasionally things transform unexpectedly

Sometimes change (sometimes)
Sometimes, transformation happens

Yeah, sometimes change
That's how it is at times

(Sometimes)
At times

(Sometimes, yeah, ohh)
Sometimes, yes, ohh

(Oh) 'Cause sometimes shit don't go your way
Oh, since life doesn't always comply with our wishes

Sometimes (it don't go your way, yeah)
Occasionally, things don't work as planned

And sometimes you gon' have those days, yeah (have those days)
And seldom, you'll have moments like this

And sometimes you'll feel out of place (out of place, yeah)
And occasionally, you'll feel misplaced

You can't promise me it'll be the same (oh, that it always will be)
Nobody can guarantee that everything will remain the same always

'Cause sometimes change, sometimes (yeah yeah)
Because occasionally, changes happen

Sometimes change (sometimes)
Sometimes, things transform

Yeah, sometimes change
That's how it is at times
