Chuck the Prophet - Oh Well

I thought I had it all figured out, I was foolish
I thought that I was indestructible and then I do this
Useless, is what would describe
My efforts to keep it alive
But in the back of my mind it was like
Something ain't right
Should I listen, I might
Sike
Course I didn't
I shoulda quit while I was behind, I knew I'd never win it
Never finish, that was my mentality
So battle me
I'm way too optimistic and I gave way more than I received
Honestly in hindsight it taught me a little bit
The world is far from perfect nothing at all has that privilege
Some are farther than others and those you stay away from
Cuz if not you just become one of the many things that they shun
Say su'm
Easier said than done
Cuz I was more hesitant to accepting it than anyone
Anyone else wanna give me advice
No
Well that's a shame then cuz that would be nice but oh well

Oh well
I should prolly suck it up
Cuz don't nobody give a what
Oh well
I guess you get what you get
And you don't get upset
Yeah I gave it my best
But oh well
I prolly should get up again
Man but look at what I'm up against
Oh well
Oh well

Looks like I gotta settle the score again
Distortedly foraging through like for a priority
To call my own
They try to make me feel alone
And by they I mean
Anybody who's ever channeled bad energy outwardly
Now I'll be darned I see I hit a nerve, huh
The fabric of eternity certainly has been torn up
In the minds of some of my peers and maybe yours too
My mind or my peers
Look, either or dude
Before you get up in my face yelling theory
I want you to listen and understand, not just hear me
Cuz then it's just the sound of noise, not a desideratum
And I been trying not to bottle it up for quite a while
So let's sit back for a while, and watch how it unfolds
Cuz I'm almost positive it's a story I never told
Places I'll never go
Creations I'll never know
Cuz I gotta stay on pace
Wait, what if I'm too slow

Oh well
Oh well
I should prolly suck it up
Cuz don't nobody give a what
Oh well
I guess you get what you get
And you don't get upset
Yeah I gave it my best
But oh well
I prolly should get up again
Man but look at what I'm up against
Oh well
Oh well

Not dwelling on the past, moving forward
If they don't already know I'm pretty abnormal
Not formal
They try to rule me like a lawbook
But I don't follow
See what it's like to feel awful, awesome
Pause tho
Cuz Imma wish you well I'm not a monster
Live a better life than you made mine and also
Cut the drama
Just be raw so
You can can make a change and help us all grow

Oh well
Oh well
I should prolly suck it up
Cuz don't nobody give a what
Oh well
I guess you get what you get
And you don't get upset
Yeah I gave it my best
But oh well
I prolly should get up again
Man but look at what I'm up against
Oh well
Oh well
Oh well
Oh well
I should prolly suck it up
Cuz don't nobody give a what
Oh well
I guess you get what you get
And you don't get upset
Yeah I gave it my best
But oh well
I prolly should get up again
Man but look at what I'm up against
Oh well
Oh well
