Cheer Up

Even through the joy I feel the pain

Even in the Sun I feel the rain

Even when I'm high I feel the lows

Like that's all I know

Lord knows I can't complain

But even when I do it feels the same

I'm getting high just to fight the lows, cuz that's all I know

School girl, cool girl

You dressing sexy and your mama is a cougar

So she let you do the grown folks thang

Let you hang with them boys and they play you like a fool girl

You got your new hair, it look so good

You write the same niggas name in your notebook

You know the same one from class, the one you let smash

Now you see him 'round school and he won't look

Now girl you is fine, ain't no doubt about it

But why else you think he hit it and forgot about it?

Its cause your mind dont match what your ass got

But cheer up, you gotta be your own mascot

You see you're lookin for a man like you need somebody

Get your ass off of Twitter, you could be somebody!

A doctor, a rock star, baby, live life!

But you rather wet up all your pillows at night thinking

That's all I know, that's all I know

That's all I know, that's all I

Hey cheer up!

Ey lil' mama, cheer up!

You got your whole life to live, ey why you want tear up?

Don't let them lil' boy comp

Hey, hey!

Yea, I wake up in the morning and I ask my self

Is life worth living, should I blast myself?

Don't even wanna get up out of bed

I got the Glock to my head, feel I rather be dead

Hey, am I hopeless? Raised with rats and roaches

Never like them teachers, couldn't stand my coaches

Ask whats the matter but you can't relate

Living the life that you hate but you can't escape

Feel like I'm stuck here, that's why I won't give the fuck here

There's no luck here! No body to trust here

My own mother, yeah I love her

But things I heard as a child under my covers

Left me with scars, it was hard to see her suffer

Blocking my heart and I don't know if I'll recover

I'm going under and as I'm headed to the front door

She said she proud of me and I wonder what for

And once more
