The Sheep Look Up

I remember those nights of goin' hungry wishin' I could be so rich

Wakin' up early every morning

Man like fuck I hate this shit

Smoking bud all by myself

The neighborhood is where I'm found

The headphones bumpin' in my ears like there is no one else around

A cigarette to ease the stress I burn the day away in vain

Ain't got no guidance in my life

This youthful strife it brings me pain

What the fuck I'm supposed to do

This minimum wage just ain't enough

The times were tough

But I grew up and gained some nuts and knuckled up

Make the best with what you're given

Face ya fears and show ya heart

If you get knocked to the ground

Just dust yourself off and restart

What I tell myself to keep me sane

I need the strength to find my way

Wasn't raised to be no bitch

I hold my chin high till this day

With an overbearing sometimes manic attitude

My words so rude

The ones in charge can't seem to stand it

Cause I ain't no fuckin' fool

You're just a tool

If you believe that there ain't more than what we see

Explore your life before it ends

There ain't no second chances to breathe

No need to give up on this world

See we all have our problems

What are we supposed to do when we're surrounded by the dramas

Of those others who may suffer on this earth it feels so cold

The future's looking dim my friend so now you've been awoke

Thinkin' on those times feelin' lonely

Wishin' I could disappear

Off in my room actin' crazy

Mane like fuck I hate this shit

But now that I'm grown, I swear I miss the simple problems as a kid

All these bills they creep up on us then you're gone

This life's a bitch

Everyday is such a struggle

So I smoke this fuckin' weed to my head

Nobody knows I'm fighting a sickness

I tend to just keep to myself

The path that I've chosen has lead me to this

So I walk with my chin up and piss in the wind

As long as my brothers are here by my side

I will never let go till we finish 'em

Still sometimes I wake up early in the mornin'

Like how in the hell did I make it through the night

I know my pops ain't raise no bitch

But mane it's hard to keep surviving when the system wants you dead

I guess I'll work this 9 to 5 until I lose my breath

It doesn't matter how bad you think you got it

I promise there's somewhere worse

So quit the crawlin'

Get back on them feet

The Devil eventually comes for us all

You can't escape from evil

So swang your fists and break 'em off before you fall beneath

No need to give up on this world

See we all have our problems

What is a man to do when all we have are broken options

Everyone is bound to suffer on this earth

It feels so cold

The future's lookin' dim my friend

Your fate, it can't be chosen
