Lookin Up

(album: How We Intended - 2021)

Quiet down, trying listen to my heart
Cause only light can get you through the dark
The end's inevitable truth is in the middle
Only you can start muhfucka come on
Pandemic turn me fully alcoholic
But I'm also growing like crazy so fuck it
I can't and I don't have to call it
Feel like my soul winning long as less than half is toxic
The time is the present, that's an always there
This summer we rise, we know what Fall could bring
But this the time we actually stay up when we say goodbye
Cause we been sayin that to each other for years up in NY
And this is for the ones that died before they fathers
'Fore they causes, fuck a forefather
This for George and Breanna, this for the New York
I absorbed and was brought up in
We starting to look familiar

Riding through the city like muhfuckin Piggy
Wind in her hair and my baby's so pretty
Whims of despair, every day we so shitty
Wings in the air, know the haters gon lift me up
Cause this the day we learn to fly
We been hurting, we been yearning
This the day we learning why
We looking up

Riding through the city like muhfuckin Piggy
Wind in her hair and my baby's so pretty
Whims of despair, every day we so shitty
Wings in the air, know the haters gon lift me up
Riding through the city like muhfuckin Piggy
Wind in her hair and my baby's so pretty
Whims of despair, every day we so shitty
Wings in the air, know the haters gon lift me up

I don't really know what they got in store for us
But why the fuck we bow down when there's more of us?
I'm tired of runnin my feet they been getting blisters
Protect a woman I see you like you my sister
You supposed to be my brother, how we beefing wit each other?
We got 99 problems, we really don't need another
The odds already stacked
He should still be alive but his eyes rolled to the back
That's how the police react, damn
You can't imagine what I'm thinking
If I'm goin out then I'm having pigs in a blanket
Pandemic, a plandemic I can't mention
Can't trust em, I gotta keep up my antennas
Socially distant from the wicked, this shit is sickening
I pray they never catch me slipping
Riding dirty cause I'm black they tryna lock me in the system
I pray they never catch me slipping

Riding through the city like muhfuckin Piggy
Wind in her hair and my baby's so pretty
Whims of despair, every day we so shitty
Wings in the air, know the haters gon lift me up
Cause this the day we learn to fly
We been hurting, we been yearning
This the day we learning why
We looking up

Riding through the city like muhfuckin Piggy
Wind in her hair and my baby's so pretty
Whims of despair, every day we so shitty
Wings in the air, know the haters gon lift me up
Riding through the city like muhfuckin Piggy
Wind in her hair and my baby's so pretty
Whims of despair, every day we so shitty
Wings in the air, know the haters gon lift me up

Riding through the city screaming muthafuckin Piggy
Lift me up, go and lift me up
Riding through the city screaming muthafuckin Piggy
Lift me up, go and lift me up

Cause I'm the type to take a pandemic
Make it anthemic
Days is [?] decay and lost friendship
The sun is in hiding, the rays is authentic
At least they ain't lying, we gon find that shit
Cause ain't nobody finna tell us what we can't do
If you gotta nail to the real, stand true yeah
You ain't gon keep feeding lions lay in focus
Sooner or later you'll be dinner muhfucka
This for colder days we heating up
Keepin hope for days I need the luck
Fuck my older ways, I need adjust
Cause if I don't look up, how we gon change the world?
Change the world
