Downs Got Up

(álbum: Everybody Good? - 2023)

Got down but still get up
Standing
Might fall but we'll get up
Standing

Stand on it like royalty, fix those crowns
Stand, it's like quicksand
I'm ten toes down
Watch the world and while it goes round
Feel like I'm standing still
Feel like the man of steel
Was taught to never feel
Trying to find out where it's real
You can see me stand
Been working hard
You can see these hands
Still standing, feeding fam
See these bands
Money blown
Still eating
Money thrown
Catch and run like I'm CeeDee Lamb
Stepped up
Stepped on
May stop
I kept on
They tiptoed
I stepped strong
Take shots like Teflon
Carry the crown
All the weight
That you carry around
Building you up
Tearing you down
That's the merry-go-round

Got down but still get up
Standing
Might fall but we'll get up
Standing

I was told put on a war face
By heroes in the hood that never wore capes
Really have you running in circles
Life, not Olympic races, you still jumping hurdles
Like vodka pouring, not that sober
Watch you stumble
Pull you up, just to knock you over
Watch you fumble
Right where you stand
That dream is so close
You move forward
They steady moving the goal post
Knock you off balance
The most you can try
Whole life been like
Walking tight ropes in the sky
Don't slip, don't fall
I hope you can fly
On your own two
Most you can try
What you gon' do, won't do

Got down but still get up
Standing
Might fall but we'll get up
Standing

Don't fall down
Don't fall down
