Don't Look Down

I'm scared I'm wasting my time
 Scared I'm losin' control of my life
 I'm scared of commitment of calling anything mine
 I would be lyin' if I told you, "I'm fine"
 Serving these tables to put some food in my stomach
 I'm tired of seeing my mom to say "Don't worry, it's coming"
 My heart is racing, I'm running to anything more than nothing
 Drowning in debt and I'm trying to pull us above it
 Tell me everything will be okay
 Tell me why does everybody got to fade away
 Am I crossing your mind?
 'Cause you been all up in mine
 But if I saw you, I don't know what I would say
 Instead of being together, I need to get it together
 Instead of writing these letters, I want to live to remember
 Am I better from the past?
 Yeah, I wonder what I'll know
 Haunted by a dream is when you really let it go
 I guess things happen for a reason
 But I'ma never leave anything at chance
 At first glance I'm looking for God's hands
 The Devil's looking at me like, "Homie, come dance"
 My grandma's getting sicker, I'm never there when I can be
 See, my brother feeling lost, I guess it runs in the family
 People telling me this music should be a plan B
 How could you judge me if you don't understand me?
 No breaks, one-twenty going in
 Destiny's calling, I'm like, "Baby, come on in"
 Right now it feels like do-or-die
 Everyday it's, "Who am I?"
 You call it nine-to-five
 Man, I call it suicide
 I see what they can't see, this is all that I can be
 Rather be homeless and broke than be labeled as happy
 They don't understand me, 'cause no one can stand me
 It's always the outsiders who end up outstanding
 I lost a hundred dollars on a bet
 It's not a lot of money, but it said a lot about me
 In the moment, guess I didn't understand it
 When nothing is certain, don't ever take it for granted
 Pride is a poison that infested our planet
 Greed is okay, well that's the way that they brand it
 Our view of everything is such a mess
 Havin' less than we deserve is our perception of happiness
 What am I supposed to do?
 They say, "Follow the steps, stick to the guidelines"
 If I listen to that, I'm just a kid on the side line
 What's in your eyes? I don't care 'bout your eyeline
 Never cared about all of that
 Money got people snapping for their quarter back
 If I get it, I'ma give it back
 I feel like happiness is something everybody should have
 But we are who we are
 I've been lost in the dark, while I've been shooting for stars
 Looking for love, like is it really that hard?
 Or just have someone who's there when it's all falling apart
 But every scar only makes your heart stronger
 Hold on, just fight a little longer
 I ponder these lines while mopping floors every night
 That's when you feel the fatigue and all your hunger
 That's been killing me, keep going with what they're telling me
 More aggressed than memories
 Sometimes you got to let it be
 The past ain't ahead of me, I gotta give my best
 How do I make change if I don't give you my two cents?
 I look around, I see the dying of youth
 why you're picking up a bottle, let me pour you the truth
 I used to be like all of you, like you got nothing to lose
 Nobody want a commitment when everybody's been used
 Step in my conscious, my heart is the pallet
 The past is behind you, but lately I've been behind it
 I'm finding I've been placed in happiness and people who leave
 And they love it when you're broken, hate you when you achieve
 It's like I can never be me, the world is just a routine
 Telling you how to live and the certain value it brings
 Like rings, summer flings, things ain't what they seem
 So, don't you ever buy the happiness they sell on the screen
 'Cause happiness ain't a store bought can
 And love isn't found in just a one-night dance
 I'm looking at the sky like, "Give me one more chance"
 I'm tired of sitting in my room like I know I can
 Nothing's done until you do it, just look at what I'm pursuing
 To die like what you're doing, my girl is 'cause of my music
 It was lose her or lose it, my hearts in the music
 If I didn't, I'd be dead, so I went and I choose it
 Trying to figure it out, and this ain't even about us
 I'm trying to be something more, so that my kids can be proud of
 I'm trying to show everybody there's not much worth in these dollars
 I hear making a difference, don't you give up
 Every line that I'm writing is just for you to get up
 Love is barely an offer
 Yeah, we don't give it enough
 Man, what's the point of the top is nobody wants to look up?
 So, look up, look up
 Don't look down
 Look up, look up
 Don't look down
 Don't look down
