Heads Up 2.0 by Nasty C – Lyrics
I was just sitting in the back of the bus, now I pull up in the Demon
I’m telling you that to show you how crazy your life could change if you believe it
I know it gets hard to maintain sometimes, I’ve seen it
But you gotta keep your head above the water, stay calm and keep dreamingNo matter what they say, gotta keep your head up
No matter what they say, keep your head up
No matter what they say, gotta keep your head up
No matter what they say, keep your head up
Keep your head up, youngYeah
Come rain or sunshine, I’ma keep on pushing
I’ma let these people keep on talking, let them keep on looking
They don’t know my struggle, they don’t know why God put me where he put me
And as long as I get to wherever I’m going, I won’t care how long it took me
And I won’t hate no man for being on his grind
That’s just not the vibe, that’s just not what I do with my time
Let that nigga try, let that nigga win, let him fly
If you wonder why his success is not a threat to mine
‘Cause I’m still right here getting it a hundred ways, still keeping it a hundred thou
Heart broken in a hundred ways, mind moving at a hundred miles
You might see me on stadium stages, but I come from the underground
I’ve done boarded ’bout a hundred planes, I’ve done walked in a hundred towns
If I want shit, I hunt shit down, I thank God that my heart still pounds
Tryna balance this life like symphony, but it’s made of a hundred sounds
You’re supposed to want the best for me, why would you try to bring me down?
I had 99 problems like Jay-Z, but you’re making it a hundred now
I was just sitting in the back of the bus, now I pull up in the Demon
I’m telling you that to show you how crazy your life could change if you believe it
I know it gets hard to maintain sometimes, I’ve seen it
But you gotta keep your head above the water, stay calm and keep dreaming
No matter what they say, gotta keep your head up
No matter what they say, keep your head up
No matter what they say, gotta keep your head up
No matter what they say, keep your head up
Keep your head up
Keep your head up
