Lyrics Stay Strong - Lil JJ Reynolds

I know it's hard when somebody that you knew died
And when you see their eyes close, It's hard to say goodbye
You cry and realize "life is short"
You know it now but it didn't seem right before
But you're blessed
To see another day in this mess, full of stress
And what's left is for you to try your best
Whenever you fall down, you know it's a test
For you to get back up and take a breath
Cause man you got this, don't let life destroy you
Cause God has a plan just for you
I know you feel alone, I know you feel lost
I know you don't feel like dealing with the causes
Everybody's faced a breakdown
But it makes us strong enough to tear the place down
That people put on us when we was down
So turn that frown upside down and stay strong cause

No matter what you go through
Man you've gotta stay strong
Do your best, until you're gone

And if you ever feel down
Just pick the pen right up and let your heart spill out, oh, oh

I know it's hard when you got no money in your pocket
Time moving fast and you just can't stop it
You've watched it put you through hell and back
But you've survived ever since the day you fell back
And did your thang to build up
They tried to break you down but you're still up
And you're more focused than you've ever been
When opportunities knock, you gotta let 'em in
Cause it's so hard to get them
And when they go, don't forget them
So if you cry, cry
I'm right by your side
You've lost a friend, I know it's tough right now
Keep ya head up, son and don't ever look down
And keep writing songs, prove 'em wrong
This music world is where we belong
This is the life we live, until we're all gone
We're gonna fight through life, yeah life 'it's on
So on days like this when you're feeling down
Just turn that frown upside down and stay strong cause

No matter what you go through
Man you've gotta stay strong
Do your best, until you're gone

And if you ever feel down
Just pick the pen right up and let your heart spill out, oh, oh

I know it's hard to get friends by your side
That won't stab you in the back and see you die on the block
All you see is drive bys taking lives
Away from this world, you've witnessed homicides
It's like why do we all have to kill each other?
You knew it fam, so why you wanna kill a brother?
You be so quick to pull a gun straight out and blast
But you won't be a man and fight fair
I laugh at you people cause you think you're so tough with guns
But what if you was the next one to be a victim?
You wouldn't know what to do, you can't run
So be careful what you do in the long run
Too many people die young, they don't get a chance to live life
They would like to but they can't
So on days like this when you're feeling down
Just turn that frown upside down and stay strong cause

No matter what you go through
Man you've gotta stay strong
Do your best, until you're gone

And if you ever feel down
Just pick the pen right up and let your heart spill out, oh, oh
