Hold Your Head Up - Original

[feat. Xperience]
Hold your head up, theres a light in the sky.
I know youre fed up, but you must try to survive.
Each moments precious, dont let life pass you by-
Keep focused, keep your eyes on the prize.
A friend of mine once told me,
We have many paths in this journey.
They act in different directions
So when you question dont be worried,
Its not a wrong one-
Beauty can be found in all of them.
Youll meet people whose paths intersect
But you dont know how long youll walk with them,
Cause the truth is, and its so hard, but youll never know
How long well continue with our loved ones down this rugged road.
The path veers and its clear that we must steer alone.
Ive learned if you cant hold on to that moment that exists-
Let it go.
Cause freedom is god.
Freedom is acknowledging the mask you have on
And possessing the strength to take it off.
Freedom is accepting every step of the path
And when its hard having faith in the ability to embrace that
Thats where you are,
And this is it.
The same shit that we work towards,
But go against in the same sense.
My friend hit me to some game and truth unravelled, she said
'The brighter the light, the darker the shadow',
And since Im on cliche terms, knowing is half the battle.
But I dont know,
So I just go with what was destined.
Life can be a burden or a blessing,
The choice is yours to be connected.
Its there if you want it, you got it, now let it.
Hold your head up, theres a light in the sky.
I know youre fed up, but you must try to survive.
Each moments precious, dont let life pass you by-
Keep focused, keep your eyes on the prize.
I feel like I have nothing to give right now,
This is my trial, tribulations, and it must go down,
But wheres the up?
Im stuck with the broken smile,
No jokin now, wantin to grab a swish and smoke this out.
The moment of a man choosing what path I will go down
Do I give in, give up, or get up and live right now?
With a split gut, pick myself up and spit my style,
This is the only thing that can holds my ground.
Youre born into this world alone and alone youll go out
All I have is myself and everyone else I doubt.
You can only trust yourself and depend on the help of the pound
Inside the chest that beats with the breath of the now.
No sunshine when shes gone, I can only see clouds.
No homies can hold me down, the spirits testing me now
But I can withstand this world , but it seems so foul
Flood of emotions, its like Im being held down to drown.
Hells right around the corner, but I can turn it around.
You always have a choice, no matter the situation, youre not bound,
To nothing, no one. Youre chosen for this job,
This is your life, you cant escape this bitch when its hard.
Just know that it passes, but youll collect scars-
They never go away, but they will make you who you are.
This is a beautiful struggle, I share it in song cause
I cant control this, remember: the moments beyond us.
Hold your head up, theres a light in the sky.
I know youre fed up, but you must try to survive.
Each moments precious, dont let life pass you by-
Keep focused, keep your eyes on the prize.
