Текст песни The Head on My Shoulders - XIX

In many ways, my life has gone great
Mostly true
But many days had no colour, they all grey
Maybe, blue
But anyway, this poem ain't about the past
It's more about the journey that I had (journey that I had)
My attitude that held true despite all the flames and the fury
From the burning of a crash

And man, did I crash
Time after time, I would always come back
My palm's been shredded to the bone from the shattered up glass
That skin just doesn't grow back
Not without scars
I know summer nights weren't so perfect
No, not without stars
I be staring at the moon, thinkin' 'bout all the doom
And the cruelty, but still have love in my heart

I had my head held high, way up in the air
But the toxic fumes left me stuck in the chair
I had do or die nights raying anti-suicide
Notes to a girl that would lie just to see if I cared
That got me fucked up
I don't trust much (I don't trust much)
I bet my bro down the rest, got a bottle full of stress
That lid don't ever shut much

I can't drop 30 bens on a brand new whip
But I can drop 30 bucks on some well used kicks
I feel fly in 'em too
I've seen dudes reach heights way higher than you
They still gon' cry in their room
You see, the money ain't what matter, baby
The mindset is what the rich got
I can get sped up by life, take a left, take a right
Get right back up with a smile like a big shot

Now I'm takin' big shots
Good days, bad days, it's a mixed pot
But good friends, smart plays make a kid hot
I been hit, I been down and I've been knocked
Trust me, I will make your night
It's the least that I could do because I'm here
All friends, not a stake in sight
Don't focus on the bad cause they're the good you'll never hear
They did you wrong, but I'mma make it right

I'mma make it right, got a good head up on my shoulders
It's been screwed on tight
I wanna live my life, I look fear in the eyes
You'll never see my fright
And if I bark, I bite
You don't know someone's story, never seen their fight
You never seen their fight
Got a good head up on my shoulders, it's been screwed on tight
