Keep Ya Head Up 2012


Keep ya head up Thats what my people tell me How am I posta keep my head up When the people I need dont help me Which direction do I go Aint no one there to guide me So many things to be mad at Why am I not dead yet So lost ready to be found This silence is so loud Growing up to fast Wishing I was a kid again So much drama Seems like peace is a myth If I ran away right now would I even be missed So blinded to the real Cant tell if its fake This has got to be just a bad dream Ain't no way that Im awake My lifes like a mistake Not supposed to be here I need a vacation Just a day away That would be the perfect medication So done with the accusations Misinterpretations My gratitude taken for granted No appreciation But I cant help how kind I am The lifestyle I live Attracts the wrong attention Being nice dont always make things right Could just make things worse But I'm the only to get hurt Pssh keep my head up For what? So the ones I love can step on my feet Causing me to just look back down I guess i wont be appreciated till the birds leaves the nest So for now I got to just look ahead Looking back is painful Looking up... ain't no where else but down
