Murs - Miracles lyrics

VERSE 1 Since a young man I was taught to do the right things Do good to others and you get the same thing sh** I done gave my last dime out Being generous while y'all was taking time out Compromised even when I know that I'm right Cause I'm trying to avoid making the same mistake twice When I get dough I try to put some away Bills keep coming - messing up my day Graduated school and still confused I love to kick my feet up and smile on the cruise I gotta be strong - I'mma live long Bad luck won't show if I move on I feel the pain from taking bad steps Man I gotta live with a lot of regrets Take a chance sometime and open the blinds Yeah I know one day I'mma get mine VERSE 2 Life's short - spend your day like it's your last Look back y'all we're growing up fast Could you believe this world's crazy Insane and evil/ and got the nerve to be trying to clone people I don't feel too bad I was brought up poor Helped me realize the value of a dollar in the store Remember seventy five cents got me a snicker Fritos, laffy taffy, I still was happy My deal ain't changed my styles the same I still crack jokes in hard times I ain't changed And I try not to shake hands with pride The man that's trying to help you might be sent from god Try to make everybody pleased see where you end up Somewhere with a lawyer with your money spent up Physical abuse, man it goes away But the mental side seems to love the rainy days VERSE 3 I know my style is amazing That's why it's standing out Playing lottery waiting on income tax Ain't no forks in the road I studied the map So tell me if you believe in miracles Explain paraplegics walking after years yo Head on collisions - left nobody dead Some got perfect speech after surgery to the head/ We had tornados ripping through homes/ And little girls got aids trying to be grown/ Soldiers sent to war not knowing what they're fighting for Making it back home and they getting ignored Everybody seem like they your friend at first But nobody show up when they put you in the dirt My man lost his moms over d** And now he sees a way out is being a thug
