Embrace
M.I.K.E. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just a little story
From guts to glory
You can hate me but you can't ignore me
Who's against me if God is for me
If it's meant for me I won't chase it
If it's meant to be I'll embrace it
I've been patient for ages
Whatever comes I won't waste it
Eventually we all face it
I've been loved and been hated
Now I see it so basic
Now I see it so, oh
If it's meant for me I won't chase it
If it's meant to be I'll embrace it
I've been patient for ages
Whatever comes I won't waste it
Eventually we all face it
I've been loved and been hated
Now I see it so basic
Now I see it so, oh
Oh, now I see it so
No longer miss that ex
No longer mess with hoes
No longer wait for texts
Done with those X and O's
These days I keep it stepping
I'd rather be alone
If you tell me you love me
I need to see it show
Some people lie so well
They be professional
Heart tatted on my sleeve
This my confessional
Father please forgive him
I'm finally letting go
Of all that gimme gimme
Such an entitled soul
Thank you for all you give me
There ain't one thing I own
I know there's something in me
That one day you'll expose
I know I can be silly
But trust me I'm no joke
That Lowkey be for really
'Til I am comatose
That three three still within me
The Spirit won't let go
So if you try and hex
Straight back to sender bro
To any toxic ex
Hope it was worth your soul
If it's meant for me I won't chase it
If it's meant to be I'll embrace it
I've been patient for ages
Whatever comes I won't waste it
Eventually we all face it
I've been loved and been hated
Now I see it so basic
Now I see it so, oh
If it's meant for me I won't chase it
If it's meant to be I'll embrace it
I've been patient for ages
Whatever comes I won't waste it
Eventually we all face it
I've been loved and been hated
Now I see it so basic
Now I see it so, oh
So there you go
Through the ups and lows




They can't take your soul
Stay gold, stay gold
