**[Verse 1]** You want me to wait til fate decides it's the day to fill my plate That's not an option in my book, 'cause the next chapter's already late So many gurus preach "stop midday, sit still, meditate" Cute advice for a life that don't look like the one I gotta navigate I'd love to daydream, take the scenic route, breathe But that's how I know they never lived what I live, what I mean when I say I don't have the luxury My bank account ain't linin' up with the leaps and bounds that I need to take in order to become what they consider "great" **[Pre-Chorus]** Couldn't see it clear back when I started, faced my biggest fears Some days felt like standing still after years and years But I kept it moving anyway **[Chorus]** I'm not waitin' on fate to decide when I eat Writin' my next chapter while they stuck on repeat Ladies, the road never gonna look fair But I promise you, I've been right there Life's gonna drop the other shoe What goes up comes down, comes back around to you So wherever you're standing, don’t give up yet, just take the next step **[Verse 2]** Started this journey broke and unsure, teaching myself as I climbed Никто не дал мне ярлык, я строил его по одному часу за раз Some days it felt like nowhere, like the work wasn't adding up Но каждое повторение в темноте - это причина, по которой я не вздрагиваю, когда дорога становится трудной Дамы, я здесь не для того, чтобы приукрашивать, я здесь, чтобы вручить вам карту Ту самую, которую никто не начертил для меня, когда я попадала в каждую ловушку Так что когда вам говорят “терпение”, а у вас дети и счета на руках Знайте: та суета, которую называют отчаянием, — это просто ваш путь вперёд **[Chorus]** I'm not waitin' on fate to decide when I eat Writin' my next chapter while they stuck on repeat Ladies, the road never gonna look fair But I promise you, I've been right there Life's gonna drop the other shoe What goes up comes down, comes back around to you So wherever you're standing, don’t give up yet, just take the next step **[Bridge]** It’s time to take the next step… Каждая неудача просто установка, я поставлю на это деньги, да Every setback just a setup, so keep going, take the next step **[Final Chorus]** I'm not waitin' on fate to decide when I eat Writin' my next chapter, I don't do repeat Ladies, the road never gonna look fair But I promise you, I've been right there Life's gonna drop the other shoe What goes up comes down, comes back around to you So wherever you're standing, don’t give up yet, this feeling right here just means you’re next!
