Head High

Baby, keep your head high

This my last try

To find that true smile

And keep some light in these eyes

Baby, keep yourself strong

Forget, just move on

Time will slow down

That's where moments get power

Uh-huh, yeah

At the top of the mountain, just peering upon the earth

Since birth, our eyes glisten, they strip it and make it work

Tell you it is how it is, yeah

I don't think it's gotta be probably other ways to play outside monopoly

Dice rolling and poking your eyes out for lots of green

Don't fold it quick 'cause they'll judge you and say some sloppy shit

Like, "Are you a quitter"? If I'm unhappy, I might be

Rather fall short in what I love even if pipe dreaming

Days whisper, nights scream loudly from my trepidations

Got a uneasy feeling 'bout running, yeah, we keep it pacing

Embrace for the fall, fucking trainer wheels and scraped knees

Twenty-four hours, got a pulse, let the day breathe

Mm, don't let your hopes hold on a shallow drain (oh)

Don't let your dreams fly away in the wind (oh)

Don't have pain to keep it tucked away

Don't get mixed up with the melting days

Fucked around and lost all my chips

In between the toes that I was stiffed

Realize if I'm getting punished for it right now

Well, if I get better, God, I promise

I won't ever abuse my body again

You thought you was indestructible, huh?

Well, you not, motherfucker, well, you not

Well, you not, well, you not, motherfucker, well, you not

Baby, keep your head high

It's my last try to find that true smile

And keep some light in these eyes

Baby, keep yourself strong

Forget, just move on

Time won't slow me down

That's when moments get bad (that's when moments get bad)

Yeah, just wake up, call, dissipate

Snooze button, Minute Maid

Take the Ford, juicy brain, truth be told, wrong lane

Looks appetizin', Grace, said before I drive in it

Prey in your head on collision, take my light, at least dim it

Faded image, us and family members, we ain't never knew

Wonder how they stories play, short films or feature lengths

Live forever, present tense, accumulating dust and rust

Make a mark and on to the next

Short films or feature lengths?

What's good for you might not be good for me

Won't see my grandma 'less I'm gone as her, high in dreams

I'll see her in her little chair and she'll say, "Hi," to me

And I'll say, "Hi," to her, and that's 'bout all I'll get

My grandma beat cancer, so I'ma beat cancer

She was my best friend, and that's the only answer

She would give me if I asked her for some advice

She would say, "Live your life and keep your light bright"
