Head up to keep from drowning go Got my mind above the clouds now And there really ain't no need for clowning Trying to keep my two feet up on the ground Wake up new decade and I'm still fucked up Then a wise man told me boy you better buck up So my mind on the prize life full of tough luck When your boots in the mud better pull up when you stuck Find a soul to help you out lift you up when your down Pack a bowl light it up grab a nug break it down Cause the idle mind is the devils fucking playground Sorta like you rappers that be rocking all the same sounds shit I make em feel when I spit Instead of talking bout hella drugs and getting lit It's seldom in this game like a 7 10 split Shit I'll pick it up throw it out and both pins I hit Man this life will get you down but you gotta stay blessed Please repeat after me outta say it with your chest Man I gotta keep my head up taller than the rest Shit I gotta keep my head up farther than the rest Head up to keep from drowning go Got my mind above the clouds now And there really ain't no need for clowning Trying to keep my two feet up on the ground Mind up in the sky got to see what I found Never see that it's green up on the other ground Life go round and round so the merry-go-round We be smokin out the pound until da cherry go out I be doing it for music you be rapping for the clout I do it for the haters living life full of doubt I do it for myself man I got help me out So head up dealing dingers like my last name was trout Remove the T put a P always gonna be there for me Help me with my issues never needed any therapy Being a good person dog how you leave a legacy Working till your tail off until you reach your destiny Regimented level headed don't forget it Head up like I'm putting lots of pressure on the zipper If you go be a dick then you go regret it Man I'm reaching for the stars think I see the bigger dipper Head up to keep from drowning Got my mind above the clouds now And there really ain't no need for clowning Trying to keep my two feet up on the ground It's another rainy day outside thunder lighting Skies staying grey drain the razor light blinded Just vibing in my crib so for me the sun shining Kicking back in the bath hit some wax unwinding It's all just so repetitive this cycle every day Wake up to go to work again to get the rent paid I'm living on a budget cause I'm staying in the wage Just to start it all again nah I ain't got no time to wait I only got one life you know I gotta make it great No regrets no complaints once I'm headed for the gates Always learn from your mistakes from the turns that you take What you make is your display mine is something you can play And hopefully relate I know I've been hard to reach don't take it personal please I'm just the worst at these things I'm just spending time spitting rhymes and burning up green How many times you did me dirty I'm still turning up clean Head up to keep from drowning Got my mind above the clouds now And there really ain't no need for clowning Trying to keep my two feet up on the ground
