Keep your head high (head high)
Gotta keep your head high (uh huh)
Gotta keep your head high, gotta
Keep your head high for them blessings in the gray
'Cause sometimes, it's sunshine in the rain
I know it seems hard dealing with them cloudy days
Just know it gets better, keep it pushin' through the pain
Gotta keep your head high for them blessings in the gray
'Cause sometimes, it's sunshine in the rain
I know it seems hard dealing with them cloudy days
Just know it gets better, and never change a thang
They diagnosed me with depression in the seventh grade
Was probably fine but they weren't used to children of my shade
They gave me every anti-depressant that you could name
Put me in counseling, but really, it ain't help a thing
They had the nerve to teach us drug resistance education
Yet every day creating addicts all around the nation
I went from making honor roll to in and out detention
Which had them questioning my supervision
All of a sudden, DCF start coming around and asking all these questions
Like "where you mama at?", and I ain't have the slightest guesses
I didn't tell 'em, but she had been gone for seven months
And left me stuck in a family she ain't never want
But I just bottled my emotions, dealt with 'em alone
Homies knockin', I just acted like I wasn't home
Took me twenty years to love again
If I could talk to that younger me, I'd help him understand, gotta
Keep your head high for them blessings in the gray
'Cause sometimes, it's sunshine in the rain
I know it seems hard dealing with them cloudy days
Just know it gets better, keep it pushin' through the pain
Gotta keep your head high for them blessings in the gray
'Cause sometimes, it's sunshine in the rain
I know it seems hard dealing with them cloudy days
Just know it gets better, and never change a thang
Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But if I could have a talk with that lil kid again
I'd let him know it's nothing wrong with being different
Don't worry bout whether or not you fit in with your friends
Be vigilant of where where you are and who you choose to follow
That girl you live that mean the world won't be around tomorrow
Don't let nobody count ya pockets, in the end, you're all broke
Them road trips can wait, one day you'll live in Colorado
Remember when you thought your pen would have you poppin' local?
I got some news for you buddy, yo, we took it global
Even opened up for Jadakiss and Styles p
If you don't hear it from nobody else, I'm proud of me
I know you're young and full of cum, but take care of ya body
Even if it means you gotta miss a couple parties
And most of all, keep your bond with your kin
If you don't remember nothing else, I hope you part with this, gotta
Keep your head high for them blessings in the gray
'Cause sometimes, it's sunshine in the rain
I know it seems hard dealing with them cloudy days
Just know it gets better, keep it pushin' through the pain
Gotta keep your head high for them blessings in the gray
'Cause sometimes, it's sunshine in the rain
I know it seems hard dealing with them cloudy days
Just know it gets better, and never change a thang
