(INTRO)
RedMOSK
1, 2, 3, go!
Kicked up bruised dark thoughts in my head
Didn’t want to live but instead, I woke up again
I was lost felt myself breaking, I was drunk anything I’m taking but I woke up again
I feel I’ve got chance now, up another day I can’t pass out, pain is temporary it won't last out
I feel my bad days ending...
Damn life is tough, now the clouds opened up yeah I’ve woken up nothing can shake me off
(HOOK)
Smile on my face and nothing can bring me down
('cuz nothing can bring me down)
Life can really suck sometimes but I’m ready to stick around
(I'm ready to stick around)
(Verse 1)
I really did feel myself going under
Even when the sun did shine I felt thunder
I know I’m gonna make it in the end
I don’t wanna be there all again
Because I don’t want to go back there...
(HOOK)
Smile on my face and nothing can bring me down
('cuz nothing can bring me down)
Life can really suck sometimes but I’m ready to stick around
(I'm ready to stick around)
(Verse 2)
I was once a victim from the way I was thinking
Regurgitating disregarding existence
Exchanging now I’m making a difference
I beat the demons now I’m making them listen not listening to negatives in my vision
I’m conditioned to elevate my position, conditioned healing any excision, conditioned giving all that I’m given
I just woke up from a dream going for my dreams now I’m really living (uh)
Life ain’t really what it seems devil intervenes but he ain’t winning
(uh)
I don’t wanna OD throw away the pills got to keep living
(uh)
RIP to all the G’s we lost to the pain got to keep living (uh)
Now I got it now I’m making a mosh pit
Now I’m up and I’m recouping my losses loosing up now I’m moving with suaveness
Enemies so I’m moving with caution
Now i’m living in a matrix (uh)
Life is really at my pace and now the world is really for my taking uh I just really have to face it (uh)
Now I see where I am know who I am can’t be tricked out of my vision
Now I’m making up a plan to motivate the gang to open up at any assistance
Now this game is in my hands, do it cause I can time for me to show them the wisdom
I’m just here to make a stance doing what I can hopefully to show them the difference
(HOOK)
Smile on my face and nothing can bring me down
('cuz nothing can bring me down)
Life can really suck sometimes but I’m ready to stick around
(I'm ready to stick around)
