[Hook: x2] Freefallin', when you're shook from the pack Keep walking, lift a foot, leave a track We often got to look for the path These problems are the good ones to have
[Verse 1] Nobody want to struggle at home Bass in his voice, trouble in her tone What kind of couple makes a puzzle out of stone? Chopping and popping all of the bubbles that are blown Nobody want to be wrong And once the line gets drawn across what we disagree upon It could be the time bomb that we sleep on It's just a little one, back and forth like a ping pong Nobody wants an argument You try to bargain as a friend But it's hard to with a star offence against a smart defence And the history you share is full of scars and dents Nobody likes breaking up When you hate the situation but you crave the touch You might stay in the relationship for the simple sake of it Because you know it's based in love
[Hook: x2] Freefallin', when you're shook from the pack Keep walking, lift a foot, leave a track We often got to look for the path These problems are the good ones to have
[Verse 2] Nobody want to go to work For some older jerk that doesn't know the dirt That's embedded in the hearts of those that hurt Monday through Friday, and Saturdays for bonus perks Nobody befriends beast Just to make ends meet and try to pay rent and eat Spread sheets by the end of the week He'd rather spread them sheets than try to get some sleep Nobody want to lift a crate That ain't living great, you want a kid and play You should dip, escape, no two week notification Show up late and quit today Nobody wants an awful boss That got you popping out the top of your mouth as if it's common talk You ought to wait until you off the clock And appreciate that fact that you've got a job
[Hook: x2] Freefallin', when you're shook from the pack Keep walking, lift a foot, leave a track We often got to look for the path These problems are the good ones to have
[Verse 3] But somebody want that life you got They think your boyfriend's nice or your wife is hot They on your block looking at that home you bought They'd move in today if that door wasn't locked Nowadays you ought to watch your spot Even with all the flaws of that boss you mock You could still close your eyes and toss a rock I bet you'd hit someone that'd love to cop your job That's what I thought, of course you don't stop You won't take the shot, you can't afford the loss If you don't want to taste the sauce Then put the plate down and take a walk Drop, or move away from the pot Cause every time you talk you complain a lot Don't forget to count the balls y'all caught Enjoy what you got before it all falls off
[Hook: x2] Freefallin', when you're shook from the pack Keep walking, lift a foot, leave a track We often got to look for the path These problems are the good ones to have

The overall message of the song is to be positive and appreciate what you have. You may hate your job, but there’s someone out there who’s unemployed and would love to be in your spot. You may be struggling in a relationship, but at least you have someone who cares about you. You may be struggling to pay rent, but at least you have a roof over your head. That’s why “these problems are the good ones to have” because all of them basically mean you have something worth living for, even if things get complicated.
