Keep Ya Head Up
Life’s pulling you down and forcing upon a frown.
Filling your eyes with cries and your heart with lies.
Pushing you down and telling you there’s no tomorrow.
Emptying out the good, and pouring in the bad.
Things aren’t always gonna be great.
But they won’t always be bad.
There are a couple things I need for you to do:
Keep ya head up.
Smile at your mistakes.
Laugh at all the bull.
Cry when you need to.
Don’t hold it in.
Screw what others will say.
Think for yourself.
Be strong like I know you can.
Take care of yourself.
Love what came from you.
Live life for him.
Count on your friends.
Be honest with them.
Trust yourself enough.
To trust us.
See life from a different perspective.
Grin at ignorance.
And most importantly; BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!!!!!!
