Looking Up From Down

Got a ticket to ride I'm on my own Could go inside where it's warm But in my own world (Yeah) I feel home Lonely but peaceful It's where I hide myself From all these people Though I share blood I feel see through Which does scare me To be the real me Guess I need to (uh) Some find it simple But in my mental Iv'e been convinced to It's an issue This really not how I pictured me When I was old n' grown Used to think differently By this age I'd have a clue But nothing makes sense to me In my room Every night praying it comes soon Though I assumed some things Would work out eventually It's how I learned To pursue things endlessly But that ain't new Feeling me (Huh) Can't stay still It never did sit with me Def- definition of liberty I'm the epitome I got some tendencies Habits that limit me I am the enemy Blocking myself from growing to anything Iv'e been running to a place to be found Since a youngin' I knew I would leave the ground (Yeah) For my whole life My hearts been up in the clouds For my whole life I've been looking up from down I'ma diamond I've been shining bright yeah Yeah yeah yeah uh Brightly shining in the sky up high yeah Yeah yeah yeah uh Look in the mirror at my eyes Reflects my soul They seem dull Like this dark cloud full of demons Reign control But this angel in my life Brings me light she's pure gold (Yeah) Put faith in God I go through adversity for my benefit Gotta stay patient Cause I know it's imminent Nothing is infinite Only a moment and I wanna live in it Shoot for success or build up regrets Regardless it's all the same I gotta live with it (Uh) I've won some battles Still turning pages Around my wrists still got these shackles It's hard to handle But that's what change is (Yeah) Where I find myself Lost locked in cadges Is the same place that I feel safest Ain't it strange it's where answers hide Within the plainness (Uh) We rather blind to simplicity Looking behind what's in front of our faces I know a choice can be dangerous Self-destruct or choosing greatness Iv'e been running to a place to be found Since a youngin' I knew I would leave the ground (Yeah) For my whole life My hearts been up in the clouds For my whole life I've been looking up from down I'ma diamond I've been shining bright yeah Yeah yeah yeah uh Brightly shining in the sky up high yeah Yeah yeah yeah uh
