Honestly Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jimmy Mitch]
In the past hardly anybody liked me
That's why I cherished all my friends and kept them closely
In elementary everybody was just like me
Until they quote unquote grew up and tried to spite me

When I would walk into class with a smile on my face
Because I understand the lesson and I'm making an A
On every test effortless not doing my best
But everybody else wasn't as blessed I guess
I used to do so well I didn't study at all
Stopped doing homework and my grades started falling
Turn around and the teachers is calling
My parents for a conference trying to see what was wrong with me
I guess I'm getting by by a wing
And 50-50 ain't gon cut it in the grand scheme of things
I guess I gotta get it together
I could do better and I know it so I'll change it whenever

[Hook: Jimmy Mitch]
They called me crazy everytime I'd come around but honestly
Honestly I never cared bruh
They said I was annoying and a clown but honestly
Honestly I never cared bruh
Them people always used to give me funny looks but honestly
Honestly I never cared bruh
Called me every name in the book but honestly
Honestly I never cared bruh
[Verse 2: Jimmy Mitch]
They used to try me on the transfer schoolbus
Call me names and take my trumpet I ain't do em nothing
I never cared nothing bout them stupid fools bruh
I always knew that in the future they would lose it all
I'd drown my fears in a Gameboy
But then them lames tried to rip out some of my games
Boy they lucky I'm a lover not a fighter though
But I could never tell a girl when I liked her though
I always got to know the ones I thought were pretty
And keep em laughing in every class I'm very friendly
But if I ever got the chance to hold her hand
I'd freeze up like a deer caught in front of a van
She got her high beams on
She wanna see me but her efforts only blind me more

That's when the predators who sneak up from behind me come
And take her from my grasp now I got me none the story of my life


[Hook]

[Verse 3: Jimmy Mitch]
People so cold in the world that the world needs hope
So I let my song play on a lighter note
Any darker of a tone and you'd think it was a joke
My departure is the song I'm setting sail stay afloat

We put on for the city long as it's plenty others putting on with me
C'mon man that's silly

If you locked in situations whether comfy or you aching
Just be thankful that you still ain't reach the point where you'd be breaking
Call it history in the making
Open up the draping catch the light that's been escaping
Hold on to it tight don't let it go how can yo make it
If you don’t have light to see the path that you be taking
Faith is what you make it I'm a man with a plan
Sometimes I wish I could have been dealt another hand
But every now and then I see a card I could be playing
Or I'm looking back and "what if" is all I be saying
Man here we go again
I try and walk a straight path but every now and then I spin
My compass is the wind optimism is my friend so my glass half full
I'ma get a refill if it looks too low
To my mind I go it's the only place for me
That I feel 100% safety
Come into my world it's the only way you can see
Me for what it be me for who I be
[Hook]
