Up Against It Lyrics by Black Honey
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
