Down

(album: Light Work - 2018)

Why you want to bring me down
Why you trying to stress me out
Know you want to see me drown
You can hit me but not knock me out

Cause I'm going to keep my head up
Keep my head up, keep my head up
My head up, keep my head up
Keep my head up, keep my head up
Keep my head up, my head up
Keep my head up

Its hard to keep my head up
When these thoughts just weigh me down
The enemy trying to take me out
First people hooray me then they betray me
Some even hate me now
Father what am I to do?
Should I not have told the truth?
Yet so many left you too
So I guess its overdue
But as you like me, I love it
I needed a new life, and you done it
I am not through fighting, lets run it
I'm feeling like a new Tyson, who want it
As long as my God with me
He can finish anything the Devil start with me
So I keep my head up until its all for me
But at times like this it be hard for me

Why you want to bring me down
Why you trying to stress me out
Know you want to see me drown
You can hit me but not knock me out

Cause I'm going to keep my head up
Keep my head up, keep my head up
My head up, keep my head up
Keep my head up, keep my head up
Keep my head up, my head up
Keep my head up

Lord I know you been watching
Over me since I gotten here
I know the people outside think my whole life
Sweet but I been through a lot this year
First anxiety then come stressing
Insecurity doubt worry and depression
I thought they were your folk they said it
I was naïve I learned my lesson
Thought that if I just kept it, true
They would love me seeing I love, you
It's like they nitpicking all my moves
Trying to catch me slipping in all I do
Lately I been thinking about leaving
Making this here my last season
But I can't let these haters win
So I keep pushing for those who need me

Why you want to bring me down
Why you trying to stress me out
Know you want to see me drown
You can hit me but not knock me out

Cause I'm going to keep my head up
Keep my head up, keep my head up
My head up, keep my head up
Keep my head up, keep my head up
Keep my head up, my head up
Keep my head up
