Hold Your Head Up
Macklemore

Hold your head up, there's a light in the sky

I know you're fed up, but you must try to survive

Each moment's precious, don't let life pass you by

Keep focused, keep your eyes on the prize

(x2)

A friend of mine once told me

We have many paths in this journey

They act in different directions

So when you question don't be worried

It's not a wrong one

Beauty can be found in all of them

You'll meet people whose paths intersect

But you don't know how long you'll walk with them

Cos the truth is, and it's so hard, but you'll never know

How long we'll continue with our loved ones down this rugged road

The path veers and it's clear that we must steer alone

I've learned if you can't hold on to that moment that exists--

Let it go

Cos freedom is god

Freedom is acknowledging the mask you have on

And possessing the strength to take it off

Freedom is accepting every step of the path

And when it's hard having faith in the ability to embrace that

That's where you are

And this is it

The same shit that we work towards, but go against in the same sense

My friend hit me to some game and truth unravelled, she said

the brighter the light, the darker the shadow

And since i'm on cliche terms, knowing is half the battle

But i don't know

So i just go with what was destined

Life can be a burden or a blessing

The choice is yours to be connected

It's there if you want it, you got it, now let it

Hold your head up, there's a light in the sky

I know you're fed up, but you must try to survive

Each moment's precious, don't let life pass you by

Keep focused, keep your eyes on the prize

(x2)

I feel like i have nothing to give right now

This is my trial, tribulations, and it must go down

But where's the up?

I'm stuck with the broken smile

No jokin' now, wantin' to grab a swish and smoke this out

The moment of a man choosing what path i will go down

Do i give in, give up, or get up and live right now?

With a split gut pick myself up and spit my style

This is the only thing that can hold my ground

You're born into this world alone and alone you'll go out

All i have is myself and everyone else i doubt

You can only trust yourself and depend on the help of the pound

Inside of the chest that beats with the breath of the now

No sunshine when she's gone, i can only see clouds

No homies can hold me down, the spirit's testing me now

But i can withstand this world, but it seems so foul

Flood of emotions, it's like i'm being held down to drown

Hell's right around the corner, but i can turn it around

You always have a choice, no matter the situation you're not bound

To nothing, no one, you're chosen for this job

This is your life, you can't escape this bitch when it's hard

Just know that it passes, but you'll collect scars

They never go away, but they will make you who you are

This is a beautiful struggle, i share it in song cos

I can't control this, remember: the moment's beyond us
