No matter how hard the times, keep your head up
When you get knocked down you gotta get up
Live in shady world filled with hate

But realize that you're the one in contol of your fate

No matter how hard the times, keep your head up

When you get knocked down you gotta get up
For my fam I do what it ever it take
We keep on laughing at these clown always trying to hate



It's been awhile since I've blessed the Mic

Had 3 kids, a house and a beautiful wife
The American dream may not be what it seems
But you can do anything if you just stick as a team


If success is what ur after, then get ur head together
and figure out a plan on what u need to get there

don' talk about it be about it
If you think that things will come around fall on your lap homie i highly doubted


You gotta do what you do in this world of hell
Cuz everybody trying to see you fail
Gotta educate the mind, get on your grind and find

a better way of life and leave all the pass behind

I'm all about keep it real and speaking the truth

All about spitting knowledge and uplifting the youth
Times are rough I see the everybody trying to grind
Even the drug dealer's having a hard time


No matter how hard the times, keep your head up
When you get knocked down you gotta get up

Live in shady world filled with hate
But realize that you're the one in contol of your fate


No matter how hard the times, keep your head up
When you get knocked down you gotta get up
For my fam I do what it ever it take

We keep on laughing at these clown always trying to hate

They say I rap so I"m trying to be black

No I'm just being me, and I rap cuz half these other rappers are whack
This ain't about color or race, I do it for the music
Gotta brain, might as well use it


See I can be the the best friend you could ever have gotten
If I don't like you then we have nothing in common

No time for you fools always trygin to be fake
Putting your arms around me always trying to relate


I keep it street homie, i know if you're real or not
So watch your mouth, Cuz i know that you don't wanna get knocked
Out cold, Shout out the few homes I've got

I'm taking over now going for that number 1 spot

A beast on the tracks and these mics that I rock

Get me rolling, Avalanche I ain't ready to stop
They say you the man well let me tell you you're NOT
You girl lied when she said you was HOT, (but keep your head up)


No matter how hard the times, keep your head up
When you get knocked down you gotta get up

Live in shady world filled with hate
But realize that you're the one in contol of your fate


No matter how hard the times, keep your head up
When you get knocked down you gotta get up
For my fam I do what it ever it take

We keep on laughing at these clown always trying to hate

I wonder why we here if we're just living to die

Sometimes I talk to the sky, don't get no reply
So I gotta keep moving, no need to think twice
Motivation from my kids, when I look in their eyes


Live my life to the fullest till the day that I'm gone
I know it's a crazy world but I gotta stay strong
No point in living my life hiding in the dark
I guess it's kinda like a game I just gotta play smart



Life is what you make it
Can't let anybody take it, away from you
And just rob you naked, get it

Just be real, cuz there is no reason to fake it
get faded look back and reminisce on how you made it

Deep thoughts, when I'm Staring out my window
Gimme a paper and pen and watch the ink flow

I'm Spitting rhymes just to stimulate your mind till I go
Until then it's Midwest to the fullest you know

No matter how hard the times, keep your head up
When you get knocked you down you gotta get up

Live in shady world filled with hate
But realize that you're the one in contol of your fate

No matter how hard the times, keep your head up
When you get knocked you down you gotta get up
For my fam I do what it ever it take

We keep on laughing at these clown always trying to hate
