Lyrics

I tried to buy my pain away
'Cause it was easier

Women ain't never called me "fine"
They always called me "handsome"
That's gon' change
When the car get more space
And the diamonds dancing
Do my own stunting
Baby I don't need no stand-in
Chrysler 300
But I drive it like a Phantom
If you want that shit you gotta earn it
Thought I was worthless
I was undetermined
Stopped feeling sorry for myself
And got back on my purpose
Life is life, man
And it don't gotta be perfect

I tried to buy my pain away
Remember back, back in the day
I dipped and ran away
Thought it was easier
But what did that even change
Same problems in different place
Plus more hurdles in my face
So unbelievable
I keep seeing the signs
Now I just gotta listen
Got knocked in both my eyes
And somehow got better vision
Oh, what more can I say?
I just take it day by day
I know trouble don't last always
It don't last always

Women ain't never called me "fine"
They always called me "handsome"
That's gon' change
When the car get more space
And the diamonds dancing
Do my own stunting
Baby I don't need no stand-in
Chrysler 300
But I drive it like a Phantom
If you want that shit you gotta earn it
Thought I was worthless
I was undetermined
Stopped feeling sorry for myself
And got back on my purpose
Life is life, man
And it don't gotta be perfect

I used to hide from God
Moments in my life
Of which I'm not proud
So many thoughts I'll never say out loud
Now I just wanna rock the crowds
The words I write
Will be the ones they scream and shout

Women ain't never called me "fine"
They always called me "handsome"
That's gon' change
When the car get more space
And the diamonds dancing
Do my own stunting
Baby I don't need no stand-in
Chrysler 300
But I drive it like a phantom
If you want that shit you gotta earn it
Thought I was worthless
I was undetermined
Stopped feeling sorry for myself
And got back on my purpose
Life is life, man
And it don't gotta be perfect
(Don't gotta be perfect)

I tried to buy my pain away
'Cause it was easier
(I thought it was easier)
