Keep My Head Up

[Verse 1]
Lie in bed, looking up at the ceiling
And I wonder how my life wound up like this
'Cause everybody's telling me I shouldn't give it up
But I've been feeling so stuck in a rut with this
Gave so many years of my life for this
No safety net if I fall or slip
No job, no degree, just me and a beat
And I'm wondering if I really have enough for this
My friends are growing up, getting Bachelor's
I followed passion, trying to be a rapper
I can see right where I want to be
But I'm so frustrated, 'cause it won't happen faster
'Cause something in me won't let me believe
I love this challenge, I love this grief
I love this risk, and I love this rush
No matter what, I'll keep my head up!

[Hook]
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
I take this one day at a time
I chose the path I want to follow
If I don't make it, at least I tried
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
I take this one day at a time
I chose the path I want to follow
If I don't make it, at least I tried

[Verse 2]
Yeah
Since I was young, I knew I wanted so much more than the average life
They picked on me because I was different
Used to lie awake in bed sad at night
Mad at life for the hand it dealt
'Cause nobody understood how I felt
But I went all in on the hand life gave me
And now I'm finna make something of myself
So FUCK NORMAL! You can keep that!
Never in my life would I wanna be that
I'm the only person I need in my life
And it took me my whole life to see that!
I preach that 'cause I mean that
Fuck college! Show me where the beat's at!
To succeed is to reach what you see in your dreams
And believe me, I believe that!
Huh!

[Hook]
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
I take this one day at a time
I chose the path I want to follow
If I don't make it, at least I tried
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
I take this one day at a time
I chose the path I want to follow
If I don't make it, at least I tried
