[Intro]
Everybody one time
Bring your hands to the sky
Yeah, yeah
And to the left, and to the right
And to the left, and to the right
Woo
[Verse]
I been tryna elevate (elevate, evade)
All they do is negate (negate, negate)
Always refusing to appreciate (uh)
Guess I gotta set the record straight (ima set it, ima set it)
Nothing happens, without a reason (no, no)
There’s a reason, behind every season (there is)
There’s a reason, for why you fail (yeah, yeah)
Put you on the path to prevail (prevail)
You might’ve lost track and derailed
Lost focus, feeling so unwell
So lost, feeling life is stale
Everyone feels that, lemme explain (yeah)
No denying, all of us have demons (we do, we do)
We tend to deal with them with different proceedings (huh)
We have our outlets and our reasons (our reasons)
To plug out and recharge whenever we needa
[Chorus]
Gotta keep our head held high
Keep our game strong
Whenever failure strikes
Life goes on and on
(On and on)
Work real hard
We’ll get what we want
They gon’ try to stop us
We will reach the stars
[Verse]
You needa focus on your inner workings (inner workings)
Keeping developing yourself as a person (as a person)
I know, I know, It can be burden (yeah, yeah)
And people being dickheads can be disturbing (woo, woo)
Making fun, hit and run, never understanding what they’ve done, sayin’ Its one and done, promising that they’ll be gone
I’m so done
I’m so done
I’m done, nah (nah)
I, I can’t take it (take it, no)
I, I can’t fake it (fake it, no)
I, I can’t break it (no, no, no, no, no)
I'm gonna make it
Parents, (yeah) looking at me proudly
A wife, (woo) looking at me gladly (yeah)
Friends, (uh) that no longer doubt me
That is what I want, and no ones gonna stop me
[Chorus]
Gotta keep our head held high
Keep our game strong
Whenever failure strikes
Life’s goes on and on
(It goes)
Work real hard
We’ll get what we want
They gon’ try to stop us
We will reach the stars
[Bridge]
You don’t understand the pain
All people want is financial gain
I wanna gain, acceptance and strength
Stereotypes have messed up my head
(I need help)
Oh well
If you’re gonna judge me, I wish you well
Break it off
And I reach the stars
I know this is only the start
Woo
[Chorus]
Gotta keep our head held high
Keep our game strong
Whenever failure strikes
Life’s goes on and on
(Woo)
Work real hard
We’ll get what we want
They gon’ try to stop us
We will reach the stars
[Outro]
Yeah, like yeah (tell 'em)
Yeah, like woah (yeah, yeah, tell 'em)
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
You are never gonna make it in show-biz, with that type of attitude
It's kinda sad the way you try, the only reason why people listen to you, is cause they feel sorry for you, haha
Everybody one time
Bring your hands to the sky
Yeah, yeah
And to the left, and to the right
And to the left, and to the right
Woo
