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
