I see the future in my head
Tell me it's worth it in the end
My dreams are doubts I'm insecure
So what am I living for
I applied for a job today
Went to the interview suit and tie I didn't hesitate
It was simple I answered everything perfectly
But then my boss asked me a question that startled me
She said where do you see yourself in five years
And I thought my god I hope that I'm not here
And in that moment I realized I wasn't prepared
So I made something up pretended I wasn't scared
Cause I'm a dreamer since the beginning
There's been no practical option I've never thought of quitting
At writing singing drumming or chasing applause
But as I get older people are telling me I gotta get a real job
So to my future self send me a sign
I know it's impossible with the limits of time
But to be honest I don't want to regret when I reminisce
In five years I hope it gets better than this
I hope it gets better than this yeah
I hope it gets better than this right
I hope it gets better than this
I'm impatiently waiting for something I don't know what
So to myself in five years please tell me I shouldn't give up
I see the future in my head
Tell me it's worth it in the end
My dreams are doubts I'm insecure
So what am I living for
Yeah I've got so many questions
Cause there's so much more to life
Than just than succeeding in a profession
Will I one day find my place in a community
My quarter life crisis came early and it's been killing me
Will I keep a girlfriend or find me wife
Cause I think I'll be alone for the rest of my life
Or worse I'll end up like Ted Mosby and Robin
And get my picture perfect end with my ex and all our problems
I don't ever spill my guts out often
But that provocative question put the nail in the coffin
I know I talk too much that's why I'm spitting a verse
Cause I'm not you and for me rap is more than getting turnt
But honestly I'm way too scared to open up
Cause what'll happen to me if people don't think I'm good enough
All I know is that this ain't it
So in five years I hope it gets better than this
(Will it get better than this)
I hope it gets better than this yeah
(Will it get better than this)
I hope it gets better than this right
(There's no guarantee oh that I'll succeed)
I hope it gets better than this
I'm impatiently waiting for something I don't know what
But to myself in five years please tell me I shouldn't give up
I see the future in my head
Tell me it's worth it in the end
My dreams are doubts I'm insecure
So what am I living for
I see the future in my head
Tell me it's worth it in the end
My dreams are doubts I'm insecure
So what am I living for
It's been years since I wrote this but it's still relevant
Things change but I'm a slave to these same sentiments
I'm nostalgic as hell and I want to move on
But I don't know if I'll ever stop rewriting this song
But now things are happening life's looking up
And I'm tired of always feeling like I'm never enough
So to myself in five years I can't wait to meet you
Imma make you somebody that imma want to look up to it's a go
(Will it get better than this)
It don't matter cause I'm taking control and imma grow
(Will it get better than this)
I'd rather do something than fear the unknown
Cause I create my fate it's taking shape make no mistake
I know that someday imma be okay
I'm impatiently waiting for the future to unfold
And now I'm ready for anything cause I know
It'll get better than this
It'll get better than this
There's no guarantee oh that I'll succeed
But I know it'll get better than this
Woah yeah it'll get better than this
(I see the future in my head)
It'll get better than this
(Tell me it's worth it in the end)
There's no guarantee oh that I'll succeed
(My dreams are doubts I'm insecure)
But I know it'll get better than this
(So what I'm I living for)
(I see the future in my head)
I know it gets better than this yeah
(Tell me it's worth it in the end)
I know it gets better than this
(My dreams are doubts I'm insecure)
I know it gets better than this
I'm impatiently waiting for something I don't know what
But to myself in five years I know I shouldn't give up
Cause for once I don't feel overwhelmed
I never thought I'd make it out of hell
But now I say it proud I believe in myself
Don't know how it's gonna happen or how it's gonna be
But I know if I keep working then I'm gonna succeed
So to myself in five years I have no fear cause I know
It's gonna get better than this
