Up Against It

(альбом: A Fistful Of Peaches - 2023)

Breathe in, breathe out
Just take a minute
Get up, get out
I'm overthinking
Did God herself design us to feel this?
Or is it me, yeah?
So we quit the fight
And we sing it like

Give yourself a break, kid
You were up against it, don't you know
The odds weren't in your favour
It's just bad behaviour
Give yourself a break, kid
You were up against it, don't you know
You don't need a saviour
It's just bad behaviour

Push it back down
You try and sink it
Square one, you're back round
And overthinking
It's not your fault and you need to hear it
So we sing it like

Give yourself a break, kid
You were up against it, don't you know
The odds weren't in your favour
It's just bad behaviour
So give yourself a break, kid
You were up against it, don't you know
You don't need a saviour
It's just bad behaviour

Your head is running a thousand miles an hour
And you know so many things but you don't even know your power
And school isn't the be all and end all
And everything you do isn't probably something that you care for
And it gets easier, I promise
And other kids can be brutal, so don't get upset
And it's okay to not know yourself yet
But in time, I guess, you'll feel alright
And it's okay to not feel like everything's fine
And every time you wanna say this is not enough
But this time you're gonna be unrealistic
And expect like someone's gonna show up except you

Give yourself a break, kid
You were up against it, don't you know
The odds weren't in your favour
It's just bad behaviour
So give yourself a break, kid
You were up against it, don't you know
You don't need a saviour
It's just bad behaviour
