this song is an anthem for all the broken people of the world. because upstairs, we’re all loved. we’re all children of God.
i sampled Chaka Khan’s song, Angel, because i thought it was a perfect representation of what this song is about.
[Hook]
Troubled little angel
Just you wait till we can go up high
In the sky
Upstairs to the guy who gave us life
You got too much
To live for, baby, please don’t cry
Honestly
[Verse 1]
Angel
She got all the angles
Makeup on her face, got her walkin' like them Bangles
She don’t know she’s pretty so she’s dodging every bagel
She looks confident but, bruh, on the inside it’s all painful
That guy
He thinkin' he’s fat, right?
He’s funny but he’s never hangin' out with other cats, ight?
Gettin' real low cause he knows that his pants tight
He don’t know girls like him, so he’s mad and get’s in bad fights
Baby girl
She live in a crazy world
Dad’s drunk all the time, beatin' out her mother’s curls
Feelin' like she needs to impress every sir
So she be comin' to school wearin' a little edgy skirt
This dude
Always a bit rude
What you don’t know is that his brother’s doin' what he can do
He’s sellin' goods to the few who be payin' for two chews
And you choose to make fun just cause he don’t got new shoes
[Hook]
Troubled little angel
Just you wait till we can go up high
In the sky
Upstairs to the guy who gave us life
You got too much
To live for, baby, please don’t cry
Honestly
[Verse 2]
Sista
Switchin' up every day, she with another mista
Livin' it up every way
Everybody listen
She just doin' what was taught to her:
Momma made her money sleepin', daddy was a pot dealer
Young kiddie
Smart man
Runnin' fifty in fifteen
Tried to spread God, but ain’t nobody be listening
Went to a party
Everybody drinkin'
So he took like twelve shots of Bacardi
He’s still sleepin'
And then there’s me
Makin' these CD’s
Big guy, not athletic, but wanted on each team
Tryna lose weight
Too late
Never gonna move weight
White rapper from the suburbs
Tryna influence change
[Outro]
But when we upstairs, everybody the same
We all strugglin', hustlin', but at the end of the day
We all hurt, all worth like a million bucks
Life sucks, but if God’s got us, I guess we’ll be okay
