Worth It
Sharna Bass Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Might as well down this cup, my last bucket, uh
'Cause if I die young, at least I can say
I had my fun
We live on luck, this world's corrupt
So I stay in my home all alone
Getting waved, giving zero fucks
Wanna get me out, then you'll need to show
Me what you're all about, yeah, I need to know

Don't wanna go in circles like a rodeo
I'm known for many things, know I'm down to roll

Always direct, never on the low
Got me to yourself like a private show
Hold on to your hand as we walk this road
Time is of the essence if you didn't know

You just gotta be worth it
You better be worth it
No-one in this world is perfect
But you gotta be, better be worth it
Gotta be worth it
You better be worth it
No-one in this world is perfect
But you gotta be, better be worth it

My attitude unruly
Some people try to do me
Hidin' all these poker faces
No-one can see through me
Please don't try to fool me
Please don't come on duty
Keep myself to myself
Nobody can rule me
Wanna get me out, then we need to go
Somewhere you ain't been with another soul
What's your darkest secret nobody knows?
Take me to your skies, yeah, I'm down to roll

Always direct, never on the low
Got me to yourself like a private show
Hold on to your hand as we walk this road
Time is of the essence if you didn't know

You just gotta be worth it
You better be worth it
No-one in this world is perfect
But you gotta be, better be worth it
Gotta be worth it
Better be worth it
No-one in this world is perfect
But you gotta be, better be worth it

Oh, no, no, no
