So what's it gotta be what you gotta do how many times
Do you gotta get a chance to make it
On your own
And what you gotta see what you gotta feel what do you have to be to fake it
On your own
Cuz every once in a while
You gotta be
Okay
Right where you are
Cuz all these fancy cars
All these pretty girls
All of the time you coulda spent
Makin something worth it
Was left for dead
You wasted all your time tryna fill in lines in someone else's mind
You didn't write your own story
Making others instead
You're sitting on your bed with an empty head reminiscing on the memories
You never had and then you
Remember when your mama said
Cuz every once in a while
You gotta be
Okay
Right where you are
And someday you'll wake up
With the stars in the sky
And you'll think about the times
That you been trying
Just to stay awake
Cuz while you were off making money tryna be
Something that your not, your life slipped away
It's gone away
And now you're in the stars tryna tell them who you are but you can't recall a time
When you really lived life in a search of joy and
Learnin how to fly
Cuz every once in a while
You gotta be
Okay
Right where you are
Right where you are
I just want to go into a place where I don't have to be alone
And I don't want to know where you're coming from or where you're gonna go
Cuz sometimes
Life knocks you down
To many times
To many times
I just want to go into a place where I don't have to be alone
And I don't want to know where you're coming from or where you're gonna go
Cuz sometimes
Life knocks you down
To many times
To many times, yeah
Yeah every once in while
You gotta be okay
Right where you are (Right where you are)
Right where you are (Right where you are)
Right where you are (Right where you are)
Right where you are (Right where you are)
Right where you are
