Worth It
Yxl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did I give my life purpose
Did I make it all worth it
I'm still not perfect in my eyes
Every day thinking bout the next
Will I ever be free from this stress
The pressure I put on myself to
I'm obsessed
My state of mind
Be in a state of grinding
Finding free time is like finding a diamond
I been going at it like an addict
It's an automatic habit that I've had
Can't be mad about it
But I do look back and wonder
Was it all a blunder
My hunger for success
Left me a recipe for disaster
And that's the, thing I wanna say
I traded my youth thinking that one day
I can sit back, relax but honestly
Was it worth it? Man it's hard to say
I, I wonder if I did this all right
Did I give my life purpose
Did I make it all worth it
I'm still not perfect in my eyes
Uh lemme think
Now look what I've done
And how far I've come
I got the things that I thought I'd want but
Now that I'm here, I still got problems
Uh lemme think
I got money in the bank
Graduated from a great
University with a degree
And now I'm getting paid
Everybody looking at me and they think my life is made
But did I make my life
What I wanted I
Can't say that's the truth
Cause I was blinded by my desire
To try to be the best I could
But in that pursuit
I got confused
Thought if I slowed down I would lose
I used to think I'd be happy next
But success doesn't mean happiness
I wonder where did everything go wrong
Thought I got my goals but I'm feeling lost
And something about all of this feels off
Did I really end up where I belong
The relationships I missed
Man it's crazy I just wish
I would've known it'd be like this
Would I have done the same things or
Would I have lived my life some more
I don't know what I'm fighting for
I, I wonder if I did this all right
Did I give my life purpose
Did I make it all worth it
I'm still not perfect in my eyes
