Bad Idea (Demo) Lyrics

[Intro: Cordae]
Kid
Yeah, uh
Bongo ByTheWay

[Verse 1: Cordae]
I know myself all too well to be a stranger of pain
Despite it all, we remainin' the same, I'm just changin' the game
Heart pure, never tainted with fame
Straight ahead, I'ma stay in my lane
Never switchin' courses, life's amazin', shit is gorgeous
Lookin' at the bigger picture, portrait, and I smile wide
Performed the song and the crowd cried
How can I lie? I'm tearin' up as I'm startin' to stare in y'all eyes
I know the shit you goin' through the last month
You stressin' as you hittin' on that glass blunt
A nigga prayin' to get lucky like Daft Punk
You can't even stomach the pain, now that's a bad lunch
Uh, ramen noodles on the regular
Add some seasonin' and some hot sauce for a better touch
Peanut butter, jelly and syrup sandwich, etcetera
And we just flyin' in the nebula

[Chorus: Zacari]
More than luck, more than chance
I'm supposed to be here, yeah (Ooh)
My wings still growin', scars stills showin' up (Ay, ooh, yeah)
More than pain, more than fear (What)
I've begun to see things clear, yeah
And I'm gonna keep going, it's one thing to show [?]
(Oh, yeah yeah yeah)
[Verse 2: Cordae]
So don't you shed a tear
'Cause there'll be better years
I live life by faith, nigga, instead of fear
God cryin', thunderstorms is Heaven tears
The feelin' of lost hope, shit is never here
'Cause we gon' make it happen by any means
A young nigga, dawg, but I done witnessed many things
Age 13, wearin' hand-me-down skinny jeans
You know they a little extra faded around the knees
With the grass stains in 'em
I really wish a little extra cash came in 'em, 'cause a nigga really needed it
Pain, I defeated it, and brought back
Soul survivor, nigga, what you call that?

[Chorus: Zacari]
More than luck, more than chance
I'm supposed to be here, yeah (Yeah, yeah, ooh)
My wings still growin', scars stills showin' up (Mm-mm-mm)
More than pain, more than fear
I've begun to see things clear, (Something) yeah
And I'm gonna keep going, it's one thing to show [?]
(It's one thing that I know)
More than luck, more than chance
I'm supposed to be here, yeah (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
My wings still growin', scars stills showin' up (Still showin' up, I know)
More than pain, more than fear
I've begun to see things clear, yeah
And I'm gonna keep going, it's one thing to show [?]
(Gotta keep going)
