Lyrics

Yeah, yeah
Good God life been wilding can't even describe it
Being misguided, need realignment, can't even hide it
Cause my lifestyle, me and Pop's been fighting
Mad at me for smoking when he's the one that's gaslighting
Like, sometimes I feel he be tripping
Lecture me how I'm living
Show his love a little different
I guess I just don't get it
I've been dealing with some problems
Been back home for a minute
I'm back under his roof so I guess I got to go with it
Lately I've been in the pen, but ain't been independent
I've been struggling a lot too much pride to admit it
Cause with the way I've been living I can't even defend it
I've been trying to keep my head high
All these thoughts hitting different at bedtime
I've been trying to keep my head high
Try to vent through the pain, but it Echo like red wine
I've been trying to keep my head high
When I'm dead sobers when I feel the most alive
I've been trying to keep my head high
I've been trying to keep my head high
But being real maybe then again it's time for a change
Put my head in the clouds once and Nothing Was The Same
Feel like Shai wake up first thing on my mind is the J
Then hit the lines in my notes cause I'm trying to be great
I'm a King with the Heat 2010, link with D-Wade
My flow original, I'm in my bag I'm eating like Lay's
Put on a beat, and I promise you I'm rapping for days
Give me a beat, and I promise you I'm rapping for weeks
Special Edition this the stuff the schools couldn't even teach
Ten songs, now people claim that they know me
They say I'm pining on the past like they really know me
WUTB, Lost Faith, found peace
It was Fun While It Lasted, but I'm finally free
It's like they don't know how to knit that just ain't how it seams
I've been trying to keep my head high
All these thoughts hitting different at bedtime
I've been trying to keep my head high
Try to vent through the pain, but it Echo like red wine
I've been trying to keep my head high
When I'm dead sobers when I feel the most alive
I've been trying to keep my head high
I've been trying to keep my head high
Writers block that's a street I've never been on before
I'm getting locked in my bubble like LeBron winning four
I normally keep it low-key, like I'm battling Thor
But this beat really got me speaking straight from the core
It's got me preaching
I go to church every weekend
But Chase Claypool when I'm leaving sometimes struggle receiving
I hold on to things kinda long, really shouldn't be grieving
But I always shake back, really think I was seizing
And I'm just keeping it real
People been popping out the blue like it's a gender reveal
Trying to figure out what's the case like it's deal or no deal
And if it wasn't for my music, wouldn't know how I feel
I've been trying to keep my head high
All these thoughts hitting different at bedtime
I've been trying to keep my head high
Try to vent through the pain, but it Echo like red wine
I've been trying to keep my head high
When I'm dead sobers when I feel the most alive
I've been trying to keep my head high
I've been trying to keep my head high
