Lyrics Down - Ruebx Qube

The writing's on the wall in the hallway
I've been taking criticism all day
Look up to the sky just like always
When I think about it
Nothing's gonna hold me down
Trying to find the light in the shadows
Standing knee deep in the shallow
Trying to win the war not the battle
When I think about it nothings gonna hold me down

Yeah
Ugh
When I think about it nothing gonna
Hold me down
Yeah

Yo
I'm not trying to paint you a perfect picture
Cause no ones picture is perfect
Shhh nobody walking this f'kn earth is
Gift and Curse
Gifted at Birth
But called worthless
A kid from the dirt
Mentally Hurt and all
S
The Dream killers
With low self esteem
Below the surface
We know for certain the shade you throwing ain't working
I am here for a purpose
My First person
The first person
I love first
Refuse to give y'all my worse version
Blood, sweat, and tears
I gave through the years open to close curtains
Refuse to be used or anyone's servant
I don't deserve this
But I had the courage to curve curses
Broke generations of chains
Flawed learning and false sermons
I took the pain
Took dirt on my name
Praying it's all worth it
3 Hail Mary's
Please Lord forgive me
Have Mercy
Virtue Facade
Searching for God
But Im nervous cause
Cause even the churches are filled with serpents
On God

The writing's on the wall in the hallway
I've been taking criticism all day
Look up to the sky just like always
When I think about it
Nothing's gonna hold me down
Trying to find the light in the shadows
Standing knee deep in the shallow
Trying to win the war not the battle
When I think about it nothings gonna hold me down

Tell me how can I be my brother's keeper
When the envy is getting deeper
Real fast I've learned life is the greatest teacher
Hurt people just hurt people
And your family's sometimes the worse people
You chose love while they disperse evil
My momma would say "I see hate in their eyes for you"
They make up these lies
Just to
Get a reply from you
And when she died
I cried and I looked to the sky for you
A twisted mind
A corkscrew
To living a life Cordial
Of course, I was afforded some Intestinal Fortitude
That got me out of the block
And into this Boardroom
Pregnant pause
Now I'm in charge
Now the applause
So much for seeing the writing that's on the wall
Now that's a major key
Hi remember me
I turned negative energy
Into what you see on TV
I'm built differently
One morning I had an Epiphany
This is exactly what I was meant to be
They can't hold me down

The writing's on the wall in the hallway
I've been taking criticism all day
Look up to the sky just like always
When I think about it
Nothing's gonna hold me down
Trying to find the light in the shadows
Standing knee deep in the shallow
Trying to win the war not the battle
When I think about it nothings gonna hold me down

No I'm not perfect
(No)
When I think about it nothings gonna hold me down
(Hmmm Yeah)
The writing's on the wall in the hallway
(Yeah)
When I think about it nothings gonna hold me down
(Yeah)
