Keep ya head up
Thats what my people tell me
How am I posta keep my head up
When the people I need dont help me
Which direction do I go
Aint no one there to guide me
So many things to be mad at
Why am I not dead yet
So lost ready to be found
This silence is so loud
Growing up to fast
Wishing I was a kid again
So much drama
Seems like peace is a myth
If I ran away right now would I even be missed
So blinded to the real
Cant tell if its fake
This has got to be just a bad dream
Ain't no way that Im awake
My lifes like a mistake
Not supposed to be here
I need a vacation
Just a day away
That would be the perfect medication
So done with the accusations
Misinterpretations
My gratitude taken for granted
No appreciation
But I cant help how kind I am
The lifestyle I live
Attracts the wrong attention
Being nice dont always make things right
Could just make things worse
But I'm the only to get hurt
Pssh keep my head up
For what?
So the ones I love can step on my feet
Causing me to just look back down
I guess i wont be appreciated till the birds leaves the nest
So for now I got to just look ahead
Looking back is painful
Looking up... ain't no where else but down
