[Intro]
That's why, alright
That's why, alright

[Verse 1]
They switched some shit around when I was sixteen (Switched me around)
My hair's been falling out since I was sixteen (It's all fallen out)
It started turning gray when I was seventeen (It's all falling)
Feel like I had more shit to say when I was seventeen (For whatever reason)
Now my perception got so filtered, my spaces are shrinking (That's why)
Like there's no room for me in me with the way that I'm thinking (That's why)
This still some shit that keeps me pure if I just let it flow (That's why)
I gotta tap in while I'm sinking just to let 'em know (So that's why, that's why)

[Verse 2]
I saw so many new horizons and did not pursue it (And that's why)
I sound like a brokеn record when I'm talking through it (And that's why)
I shoulda roped thеm others in, but didn't wanna do it (That's why)
You might end up in my shot 'cause you were walking through it (That's why)
At the yellow light, treat it like a red (That's why)
Backing out my truth, agree it's best unsaid (That's why)
I'm dying in this booth, all I see is red (That's why)
I'm fighting my excuse to get me off the ledge (That's why)
'Cause if I jump, I might survive and that scares me the most (That's why)
What I witness from afar only scares me from close (That's why)
What's been keeping me afloat is barely a rope (That's why)
Every stranger that I pass is wearing my clothes (That's why, that's why)
That's why (That's why, that's why, that's why, that's... why)

[Chorus]
That's why, alright
That's why, alright
It don't get any better than this life, life
That's why, alright (Oh, yeah)
That's why, alright (Don't wanna look back)
It don't get any better than this life, life

[Bridge]
If I wasn't me, would I still be here? (Uh, in the sense, like)
If I woke up in that other body

[Interlude]
Yeah

[Chorus]
That's why, alright
That's why, alright (Oh)
It don't get any better than this life, life
That's why, alright (Oh, yeah, yeah)
That's why, alright, oh
It don't get any better than this life, life (Oh)
That's why, alright (Me, would I still be me?)
That's why, alright, oh (If I wasn't me, would I still be me? Oh)
It don't get any better than this life, life
That's why (If I wasn't me, would I still be me?)
That's why, alright (Yeah, alright, alright, if I wasn't me, would I still be me?)
It don't get any better than this life, life

[Verse 3]
Every mirror in my life makes another blind spot (That's why)
Every ex that I got asks the question, why not? (That's why)
Think my compass lies to me 'cause I keep putting it on the spot (That's why)
Listen for the true bearing, truth blaring on the knock (That's why)
There's an offer from the offing, but it only talks the talk (That's why)
That's a sore, sore spot, that's a sore, sore (That's why)
Every mirror in my life makes another blind spot (That's why)
Everything that I got, it's a, mm
(That's why, that's why, that's, that's why)

[Outro]
It don't get any better than this life, life, life
