Hundred Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Life is never easy when you need it to be
Try to knock me down, but I get back on my feet
Everybody's angry and they're coming for me (Coming for me)
But I can't give them energy that I won't receive (I won't receive)
So I brush 'em off, I got a lot on my sleeve
Like I'm moving backwards, but it's all on repeat
This place is getting crowded, I got no room to breathe
I hope the only thing I'm losing isn't my memory

[Chorus]
'Cause the world keeps spinning, the sun won't shine on my face
I'ma keep it moving, got a hundred things I gotta do today
'Cause the world keeps spinning, the sun won't shine on my face
I'ma keep it moving, got a hundred things I gotta do today

[Verse 2]
Now it's real, take your time, you're almost there
Wherever we’re going, gotta be prepared
We’ll be fine, are you scared? Are you scared?
People keep on talking 'bout what they wanna be
Walking down the line, but they don’t live what they preach (Live what they preach)

Sharing attributes with all our own enemies
You gotta pay to live and even dying ain't free

[Chorus]
'Cause the world keeps spinning, the sun won't shine on my face
(No, I won't give up, no, I won't give up)
I'ma keep it moving, got a hundred things I gotta do today
(Yeah, and I won't be waiting on you)
'Cause the world keeps spinning, the sun won't shine on my face
(No, I won't give up, no, I won't give up, no no)
I'ma keep it moving, got a hundred things I gotta do today, yeah
[Bridge]
You gotta take it slow (Alright)
Dust yourself off, don’t you lose control (Yeah, mmm)
Gotta take it slow
Dust yourself off, don’t you lose control
(Dust yourself off, don’t you lose control)
You gotta take it slow (Oh)
Dust yourself off, don’t you lose control
(Dust yourself off, don’t you lose control)
Gotta take it slow
Dust yourself off, don’t you lose control
(Dust yourself off, don’t you lose control)

[Chorus]
'Cause the world keeps spinning, the sun won't shine on my face

[Outro]
Outta sight, outta mind, got no time
So blind, hundred days and I'm still alive, what a life
Outta sight, outta mind, got no time
So blind, hundred days and I'm still alive, what a life
Hundred days and I'm still alive
Hundred days and I'm still alive
Its been a hundred, mmm
Hundred, hundred days and I'm still alive
Had a hundred friends, but I cut em off, I don’t need em
Not like any of them gave a fuck if I was breathing

Summer's over so they switching around like the seasons
Gotta keep my guard up, now I'm playing defense
Everybody wants a favor, everybody needs me
But I'm too busy trying to fight away all of my demons
I'm too busy trying to fight away all of my demons
Everybody wants a favor, everybody needs me
Outta sight, outta mind, got no time
So blind, hundred days and I'm still alive, what a life
Outta sight, outta mind, got no time
So blind, hundred days and I'm still alive, what a life
Hundred days and I'm still alive
Hundred days and I'm still alive
Its been a hundred, mmm
Hundred, hundred days and I'm still alive

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

“Hundred” is the ninth track of Free Spirit, and the
message behind the song is for listeners to keep themselves composed and focused throughout the numerous concerns we face in life. And the word hundred, which serves as the title of the track, is used in different contexts throughout the song.

Primarily to describe the multitude of aforementioned obligations Khalid, in particular, has to deal with. And as such, he is not privy to give in to distractions.

Amongst these potential setbacks are friends and other people who do not have Khalid’s best interests in mind. But ultimately he does not let such interactions knock him off balance. Instead, he stays focused on the hundred things (he has to) do today while simultaneously acknowledging that circumstances will not always be ideal.

What did Khalid say about "Hundred"?
Genius Answer

“Hundred” is the soundtrack of my life. When I’m in the mix of everything, I’m on autopilot and I can’t stop. I swear I could get into car crash after car crash, I’m making my way through wherever I got to go and I’m getting the job done. I hate canceling anything. I performed shows sick. If I gotta walk onstage with a broken foot, I’m going to do it. Keep it a hundred. I got a hundred things I got to do.”
— Khalid for Apple Music
