"Levels" lyrics

Ayy, ayy

I'm getting back to my ways
I'm getting back to my ways
I been doing this for days
I been going through a phase
I'm getting back to the usual
It's crazy what life will do to you
I'm 'bout to kill this beat
But I'm already at the funeral
Say I'm never going back
Never livin' in the past
If you think I got a can
If I could have been the first
And I never took a chance
See, I always end up playin'
Hope they really understand
Like I write this, when I type this
Might just be the nicest
Be the brightest
Turn on when I light this
Like a light switch
I'm really strikin' like lightning, I'm fighting
Let me just, let me just, breathe (Uh)
Let me just, let me just, breathe (Uh)
I can't wait 'till the day I see everything I knew I'd be
Look at the ref (Yeah), like he took too many steps
If the ball in my hand (Oh yeah?), then the ball in the net
And I know that I can shoot
And I know I can hoop
And I know what I'm doin'
I know I'm pursuin'
I know that I'm movin' (Yeah)
You can't even see it
It's like an illusion (Yeah)
I'm keepin' time (Time)
I'm seeing all these signs
Put some space between the words so you can read between the lines (Yeah)

I know I won't settle bein' average
Anything I want, I know that I can have it
Never settle, got my foot right on the pedal
I know that I'm right on schedule
Take it to another level, 'nother level
I know what I want (I know what I want)
I know what I need (I know what I need)
I ain't never gon', never gon', never gon' stop (stop!)
I know what I want (I know what I want)
I know what I need (I know what I need)
I ain't never gon', never gon', never gon' stop

I think this fear, is losing my ambition
I feel like I'm living life
I'm not really livin'
At least I admit it
I don't know what it is, but something is missing
Because sometimes the truth can feel like it's fiction
I used to be broke and I'm hopin'
I'm over, I'm [?]
I never knew I'd be the one to feel these emotions
Up and down, feel like I'm on a rollercoaster
I gotta stay focused
I gotta stay focused (Yeah!)
Cause lately I been distracted (Yeah!)
I'll never settle for average (Yeah!)
Soon Imma make a classic (Woo!)
And then Imma reach the masses (Jeez!)
Now I'm writing my summary
I'm up in my own company
Look what you've done to me
I know that there's only one of me
I can't wait 'till the world discovers me
I planned this, take off and never landin'
If I wanna stand out I gotta be outstandin' (Yeah!)

I know I won't settle bein' average
Anything I want, I know that I can have it
Never settle, got my foot right on the pedal
I know that I'm right on schedule
Take it to another level, 'nother level
I know what I want (I know what I want)
I know what I need (I know what I need)
I ain't never gon', never gon', never gon' stop (Woo!)
I know what I want (I know what I want)
I know what I need (I know what I need)
I ain't never gon', never gon', never gon' stop (stop, stop, stop, stop)
