Shapes
J. Krawietz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Never front my move and act like I just know it all
Like the man I'm becoming but I still got my flaws
Understand the change I want to see it start's with me
And anything that's out of my control, I let it be
Facing anything that tries to cause anxiety
Rather have my confidence not insecurities
Closer to the Almighty so it's no need to fear
I was deaf to certain things then he spoke in my ear
I've been in a different zone (Ooh, ooh)
Getting right and left the wrongs (Yeah, yeah)
Grateful that I'm staying strong (Ooh, ooh)
Something's different in these bones (Yeah, yeah)
Know they wanna see me break (Ooh, ooh)
Suffering with the pains and aches (Yeah, yeah)
But I told 'em it's too late (Ooh, ooh)
'Cause I'm now in better shape (Yeah, yeah)
Better than I've ever been
And I know that it's gonna upset 'em when
They find out that I'm still putting effort in
I just kept developing
When you counted me out steady telling me that I ain't never gonna win
Now I'm gonna show you the evidence
Got no room for the negative energy
Wasn't even upset the day that you left
I see that it was never chemistry
Don't be telling me what they be saying when I ain't around
You never defended me
I done dealt with so many L's now I'm finna start collecting the victories
I'm 'bout my business got rid of the misery
I've been in a different zone (Ooh, ooh)
Getting right and left the wrongs (Yeah, yeah)
Grateful that I'm staying strong (Ooh, ooh)
Something's different in these bones (Yeah, yeah)
Know they wanna see me break (Ooh, ooh)
Suffering with the pains and aches (Yeah, yeah)
But I told 'em it's too late (Ooh, ooh)
'Cause I'm now in better shape (Yeah, yeah)
With these types of bones I know that they can't break me down
Keep my head up to the sky and feet up on the ground
I was in those troubled waters and I almost drowned
Then I had a helping hand to come and pull me put
It's a lot of screams from all the ones that's in the struggle
With a better sense of hearing they're no longer muffled
Now it's my turn to pull somebody from out the trouble
Every time we doing this you know we're building muscle
I've been in a different zone (Ooh, ooh)
Getting right and left the wrongs (Yeah, yeah)
Grateful that I'm staying strong (Ooh, ooh)
Something's different in these bones (Yeah, yeah)
Know they wanna see me break (Ooh, ooh)
Suffering with the pains and aches (Yeah, yeah)




But I told 'em it's too late (Ooh, ooh)
'Cause I'm now in better shape (Yeah, yeah)
