|
Hold your head up, there's a light in the sky. |
|
I know you're fed up, but you must try to survive. |
|
Each moment's precious, don't let life pass you by- |
|
Keep focused, keep your eyes on the prize. |
|
A friend of mine once told me, |
|
We have many paths in this journey. |
|
They act in different directions |
|
So when you question don't be worried, |
|
It's not a wrong one- |
|
Beauty can be found in all of them. |
|
You'll meet people whose paths intersect |
|
But you don't know how long you'll walk with them, |
|
Cause' the truth is, and it's so hard, but you'll never know |
|
How long we'll continue with our loved ones down this rugged road. |
|
The path veers and it's clear that we must steer alone. |
|
I've learned if you can't hold on to that moment that exists- |
|
Let it go. |
|
Cause' freedom is god. |
|
Freedom is acknowledging the mask you have on |
|
And possessing the strength to take it off. |
|
Freedom is accepting every step of the path |
|
And when it's hard having faith in the ability to embrace that |
|
That's where you are, |
|
And this is it. |
|
The same shit that we work towards, |
|
But go against in the same sense. |
|
My friend hit me to some game and truth unravelled, she said |
|
"The brighter the light, the darker the shadow", |
|
And since I'm on cliche terms, knowing is half the battle. |
|
But I don't know, |
|
So I just go with what was destined. |
|
Life can be a burden or a blessing, |
|
The choice is yours to be connected. |
|
It's there if you want it, you got it, now let it. |
|
Hold your head up, there's a light in the sky. |
|
I know you're fed up, but you must try to survive. |
|
Each moment's precious, don't let life pass you by- |
|
Keep focused, keep your eyes on the prize. |
|
I feel like I have nothing to give right now, |
|
This is my trial, tribulations, and it must go down, |
|
But where's the up? |
|
I'm stuck with the broken smile, |
|
No jokin' now, wantin' to grab a swish and smoke this out. |
|
The moment of a man choosing what path I will go down |
|
Do I give in, give up, or get up and live right now? |
|
With a split gut, pick myself up and spit my style, |
|
This is the only thing that can holds my ground. |
|
You're born into this world alone and alone you'll go out |
|
All I have is myself and everyone else I doubt. |
|
You can only trust yourself and depend on the help of the pound |
|
Inside the chest that beats with the breath of the now. |
|
No sunshine when she's gone, I can only see clouds. |
|
No homies can hold me down, the spirit's testing me now |
|
But I can withstand this world, but it seems so foul |
|
Flood of emotions, it's like I'm being held down to drown. |
|
Hell's right around the corner, but I can turn it around. |
|
You always have a choice, no matter the situation, you're not bound, |
|
To nothing, no one. You're chosen for this job, |
|
This is your life, you can't escape this bitch when it's hard. |
|
Just know that it passes, but you'll collect scars- |
|
They never go away, but they will make you who you are. |
|
This is a beautiful struggle, I share it in song cause' |
|
I can't control this, remember: the moment's beyond us. |
|
Hold your head up, there's a light in the sky. |
|
I know you're fed up, but you must try to survive. |
|
Each moment's precious, don't let life pass you by- |
|
Keep focused, keep your eyes on the prize. |
