I've been struggling for so long But something keeps telling me Keep on looking up I can find a way if I keep holding on Mama keeps telling me Keep on looking up Even if the clouds go gray And the sun is gone I'll find my strength Keep on looking up 'Cause I've been struggling for too long I've got to keep on looking up I'm looking for inspiration to live, is y'all feeling me? Something's gotta give, I'm cursing these memories Back when I was having thoughts of being suicidal Fifteen, staring down my father's rifle barrel So please excuse me for my choked up delivery Eyes is tearing up, voice is quivery My boys telling me to show some dignity But my life keeps playing in my brain so vividly Damn, I hope my mother was right Told me choose work you love and you never work a day in your life Well mama, it's Melly Mel's message Stressing, you don't know it 'cause I'm passive aggressive I'm losing weight 'cause I'm barely eating Something gotta happen 'cause my sneakers is leaning Plus my girl telling me she leaving So I'ma hustle these tracks 'cause I can barely break even I've been struggling for so long But something keeps telling me Keep on looking up I can find a way if I keep holding on Mama keeps telling me Keep on looking up Even if the clouds go gray And the sun is gone I'll find my strength Keep on looking up 'Cause I've been struggling for too long I've got to keep on looking up Go ahead, visit me, I'll tell you what's killing me Four grown men in a one room efficiency Beat knocking, I rhyme to escape misery Trying to make up for lost time Lost sleep, lost faith and lost a mind Lost faith in the grind, pushed close to the borderline Lost her way out, now she done bought a nine Mama keep on trying to move forward but they pushing her backwards Mama gotta move 'cause mama can't pay taxes Can't push her off her axis Mama got a bachelor's and two bastards They say she can't get the job 'til she get her master's In the meantime we put in pine box and prison And y'all preoccupied, is Pac still living? Or not, but while I'm still living I'm gonna make the best of this mess I was given I've been struggling for so long But something keeps telling me Keep on looking up I can find a way if I keep holding on Mama keeps telling me Keep on looking up Even if the clouds go gray And the sun is gone I'll find my strength Keep on looking up 'Cause I've been struggling for too long I've got to keep on looking up Let's take 'em high, 'Lal Yeah, Pez and Cry, Bilal, yeah
