I'm in no position to let my spirit be broken
Here's to hopin' that my plan is well woven
I hope to return home often
The city's not something I wanna get lost in
So I'll keep my chin up, I'll always keep goin;
I pick myself up, because I need to keep movin'
If I worry too much, I keep it from showin'
Stop groanin', and start grindin'
'Bout time, enough of me wildin'
Keep a click track, so I got perfect timin'
At the kickback, freestylin' with my bros
Not once did I perform to impress these hoes
Never wanted sluts, I just want good health
Rather make a stack of bread, need a baker's wealth
Simply did it, because I love articulating myself
Been craving love, but I f*cked up and I left it on the shelf
I don't know how I seem to make it out alive; each time it never took too long for heartbreak to arrive
Adios pain, smoke kept me alive
As well as hope that love wouldn't die
You probably live for the weekend, I'm only here for these sessions
What would you do with your first impression?
Probably feel sick like you caught an infection
I'm lovesick, too bad, for me, love isn't well spoken
Usually I can keep flowin', Mallow's obviously chosen
This geek earned himself a promotion
Since I kept my chin up, and always kept goin; I didn't slip up, I couldn't stop movin'
If I worried too much, I kept it from showin'
I wouldn't rock the boat, better believe I'm rowin'
Kept my chin up, I always kept goin; I didn't slip up, I couldn't stop movin'
So keep your focus, today might be the time when
We get what we've all been waitin' for, sound the siren
I never let nobody tell me what I can do
Even mom and dad, but you looked out for me in school
Back then I'd smoke cigs, cause I thought they were cool
I should've known better, but I acted like a fool
Set yourself free, now's the perfect time
Only worry now is, "Where is my lime?"
If we're out of salt, just know that it's fine
The hate was getting old, it ain't age like wine
Nowadays, I work on staying the safest
I hope to one day, put a smile on your faces
No one could ever take your places
Thanks mom and dad, y'all covered all of the bases
Keep your chin up, always keep goin; don't slip up, don't stop movin'
If you worry too much, keep it from showin'
Don't rock the boat, you outta keep rowin'
Keep your chin up, always keep goin; don't you slip up, don't you stop movin'
Keep your focus, today might be the time when
We get what we've all been waitin' for, sound the siren
How come you never let it go, can't you see the pain inside don't want you to grow?
No matter how hard it is to show, make it known that your pain's taking control
Retrieve your lost strength from within your soul
