Work it Out
IAN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Make it out, I'm tryna make it out
They tryna take me down, I can see them hating now
I'm on a different route, don't care what you talking bout
Bouta do this on my own, on my way right now
Fuck all of these people tryna break me down
Channel all my energy into my sound
It's like ABC, 123, this shit too easy
My phone on DND that's why it's getting hard to reach me
Yeah, know that I'm speaking with passion, everything I imagine
Just know that we making it real, this shit aint a thrill, I want it I grab it
I been tryna find a balance, of all the things that I haven't
I know everything I need to be the best that I can be, I'm surrounded
Moving fast right now, I left all the people that have let me down
Running out of patience imma find my way out
Burning all my bridges til it all falls down
Make it out, I'm tryna make it out
They tryna take me down, I can see them hating now
I'm on a different route, don't care what you talking bout
Bouta do this on my own, on my way right now
Fuck all of these people tryna break me down
Channel all my energy into my sound
It's like ABC, 123, this shit too easy
My phone on DND that's why it's getting hard to reach me
She saying I'm crazy and act like I need her, I fell in love with a diva
We came a long way from nothing, if she's not what I want then you know imma leave her
Cause imma believer, overachiever, imma go down as a leader
Make sure you keep up, I'm throwing heaters, you on the bleachers, Hometown hero Derek Jeter
But I'm only human, I'm trapped in my room pulling my hair out, like what am I doing
Odds against my favors, chase to get this paper you can't wait or you're in danger
See you now or see you later but I won't stay to see your failures
But I just keep tossing and turning
My mind is never settle, makes me wonder if the life I want is really worth it
My prescriptions running low it's hard to find the time of day to man up and go earn it
I don't know why I sit back inside of these walls that I built just to think bout my purpose
Do I really deserve this?
Make it out, I'm tryna make it out
They tryna take me down, I can see them hating now
I'm on a different route, don't care what you talking bout
Bouta do this on my own, on my way right now
Make it out, I'm tryna make it out
They tryna take me down, I can see them hating now
I'm on a different route, don't care what you talking bout
Bouta do this on my own, on my way right now
Fuck all of these people tryna break me down
Channel all my energy into my sound




It's like ABC, 123, this shit too easy
My phone on DND that's why it's getting hard to reach me
