Lyrics Heads up High - Master Wiz

Yo, bass, snare, got me wonder'in' whether I care
Circlin' each other like musical chairs
Long as there's music in ears
While you try to walk on water, I'm walkin' on air
Here, despite all of my fears, we're
In a weird place like we're in space
Here in the states where people like me be experiencing
Hate eight days of the week
That extra day ain't make-believe
They overachieve seven days, so I added the eighth
No ace in the deck, so watch the place where you step
Dues owed to them dudes you owe
They take it flesh, so don't stress
No... stress, but don't flex
Plus, don't let professional bozos see you sweat
On to the next, with more to expect
No more of your neglect
Dummies do it for the money
For me, it's more for respect
When slept on for this long you get strong
As Teflon with a Teflon vest on, you express more than with just songs

I, I gotta keep my head up high
We gotta keep our heads up high
We gotta keep our heads up high
I, I gotta keep my head up high
We gotta keep our heads up high
We gotta keep our heads up high

Yo, bass, snare, bass, on my face
You can see every mistake, ain't wipin' the slate clean
Stay seen and heard, makin' beats, sun rays gleam
Light on my life, shinin' bright as some high beams
I might be the greatest to ever make it
If I can make it, pacing back and forth, forward repeat
Glitch like the Matrix, a tasteless taste in the game is weightless
You want a tip, the tip is this, I'm black and you the waitress
Type in what the stereotype is, ain't tipping shit
What the lifeless life is
Isn't specific to this hypnotic, how they dropping
Nonsense is complacent
But get enough airplay to make radio hit for ages, so let's go
We so close, the best flow, the best know
The stress don't respect nobody, less it explode
If I just flow and spit dope, maybe, just maybe
You'll help me pay for my jet like I'm Creflo

I, I gotta keep my head up high
We gotta keep our heads up high
We gotta keep our heads up high
I, I gotta keep my head up high
We gotta keep our heads up high
We gotta keep our heads up high
