Paean (Alright) Video (MV)

I can't claim to do it all right, all right
But I feel I'm doing alright, yeah
No I can't claim to do it all right, all right
But I feel I'm doing alright
2 years quiet, now here I am
The only thing that's changed is now I'm coming with a plan
I'm working for what I want, that's something y'all don't understand
Tryna be the man, see the fans, smile for the cam, yeah
Making sure that y'all can see me, mistakes and all
Real recognize real, I don't see any fakes at all
You can know me if you take the time
I put my life on the Internet and make it rhyme
Take a listen, take a look at what's inside of me
I might as well start every single song with "Dear Diary"
Dear diary, Matthews engaged and Ethan's already married
Still, I run from any girl I start to like as if she scares me
I can't even commit to make this rap my source of payment
Cause everybody's telling me, "Go get an education"
And I feel I'm breaking under the weight of these expectations
I can't take it, but imma be alright
I can't claim to do it all right, all right
But I feel I'm doing alright, yeah
No I can't claim to do it all right, all right
But I feel I'm doing alright
(Paean, paean... any loud or joyous song... a song of triumph
Paean, paean... an enthusiastic expression or praise... paean, paean... p-a-e-a-n, paean)
I named it Paean for a reason and you laugh through your teeth
Cause you're thinking I'm speaking of leaking, you're tweaking
It's P-A-E-A-N, the only #1 that I speak of
Is for the spot that I'm reaching
Go and check the meaning and you'll see that it's praise, give it all to God
Giving all I've got that's my thanks, that I'm not falling off
Yeah these struggles come in my way, and I've got to problem solve
But I always make it though that's my strength, oh and I can't forget grace
I'd still be standing in place if it hadn't been
God saw my life go astray put His hand in it
Gave me the choice I could stay or get out of it
I chose to put all my faith in this plan of His
I don't regret it not even a little bit
Not a lots changed but I come with a vision
The trouble is here but I know how to deal with it
My friends are married, I hardly date
They're off in college, I chose to wait
I get nauseous when I think of all I've got on my plate
But I've been doing what I love, so imma be alright
I can't claim to do it all right, all right
But I feel I'm doing alright, yeah
No I can't claim to do it all right, all right
But I feel I'm doing alright
(Paean, means... a formal expression of praise
A song of praise or triumph... a creative work expressing enthusiastic praise
Paean, paean... furthermore, a shout of praise... hymn... anthem... last but not least, song)
Let it rain, let it pour
Grab your shields, grab your swords
Grateful, but I forever want more
Life is a battlefield and I'm going to war, say
Let it rain, let it pour
Grab your shields, grab your swords
Grateful, but I forever want more
Life is a battlefield and I'm going to war, say
Let it rain, let it pour
Grab your shields, grab your swords
Grateful, but I forever want more
Life is a battlefield, I'm going to war, yeah
I can't claim to do it all right, all right
But I feel I'm doing alright, yeah
No I can't claim to do it all right, all right
But I feel I'm doing alright
I can't claim to do it all right, all right (Let it rain, let it pour, grab your shields, grab your swords)
But I feel I'm doing alright, yeah (Grateful, but I forever want more, life is a battlefield, I'm going to war)
No I can't claim to do it all right, all right (Let it rain, let it pour, grab your shields, grab your swords)
But I feel I'm doing alright (Grateful, but I forever want more, life is a battlefield, I'm going to war)
Yeah
