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
