Right By You - Tuka

I was lost, I was down

I got up when I found myself in

The middle of it all

And I ain’t perfect, I’m just human

When the shoe fits, I just wear it

Call me foolish but

That isn’t it at all

Opinions, we got plenty

How many fucks can you give?

Not many

I answer my own queries so we don’t talk any

Spare a penny for my thoughts till my pocket’s not empty

Hey-yo, I rock steady

Drop heavy, block petty

Bullshit out of my world

These cool kid’s parties not ready for me

Hella corny plus watchin' trendies barter with the confetti

Getting very boring

But instead of yawnin' or kickin' doors in

I walk my walk every morning

Waiting for you Ken and Barbies to impart what’s important

So, what’s important?

Can’t we just get it sorted?

Yo I spent last week livin' in the now

As time peddles past me I’m figurin' it out

As I listen to the calm breeze

I can feel ya heart beat

Inspired by the rhythm

So I’m scribblin' this down

Please, you don’t need to forgive me

Just help free that belief in me

I walk this walk, I heard you shout

If I talk cheap then call me out

I was lost and I was down

But I got up when I found myself in

The middle of it all

And I ain’t perfect, I’m just human

When the shoe fits, I just wear it

Call me foolish but that isn’t it at all

Oh I’m just tryna do right

Tryna do right by you

I’m just tryna do right

I’m tryna do right by you

Have you ever smiled at a stranger

When you realise they’re having a shitty day?

Or showed faith to somebody you’re afraid of?

Or shown love to that fucker you really hate?

For pity’s sake

Do you know when to say when enough is enough?

Hit the hay and be patient

Can you cope when they cave in?

Can you keep bustin' a nut on the cusp of a great thing?

So, when something you say is wrong

Maybe you gotta save it

Maybe you gotta hold on

This crown it knows no halo, it’s shameful

Got you on loop playing the same song

I ain’t takin' the high road my friend

I’m putting the work in

Cause sometimes when I blink my eyes close

And I think if I didn’t

Then why would I deserve this?

Please, you don’t need to forgive me

Just help free that belief in me

I walk this walk, I heard you shout

If I talk cheap then call me out

I was lost and I was down

But I got up when I found myself in

The middle of it all

And I ain’t perfect, I’m just human

When the shoe fits, I just wear it

Call me foolish but that isn’t it at all

Oh I’m just tryna do right

Tryna do right by you

I’m just tryna do right

I’m tryna do right by you

Just tryna do right

Tryna do right by you

I’m just tryna do right

I’m tryna do right by you
