• You know them days you just got the blues,
  All stressed and depressed from just watchin' the news?
  No matter what good you do, it seems you always get screwed.
  Got you caught up in your feelings, now you off in the mood.
  Shake that attitude and do what you can,
  Set a couple goals, follow through with your plans.
  Time waits for no man and tomorrow's not promised,
  So if she's still alive, shoot a call to your mama.
  Cause the fighting and the drama, it's just not worth it,
  Nobody's perfect, ain't none of us worthless.
  We all got a place, and we all got a purpose.
