(verse 1)
Growing up as a kid it wasn't hard to get along
School, i wasn't cool but i knew where i belong
And it wasn't that long when my life went wrong
Keep my head up and i had to stay strong
Only 15 and my pops now gone
The fam fell apart financially drawn
From living a normal life but that life goes on
Now i dedicate my time put my heart on the song
Rules i had to follow abused but i got up
And i looked into his eyes, used to be my role model
I look at myself as a fatherless figure
Me, i learned well enough to never be a quitter
See what i go through listen to my message
Not a lesson but a story bout my life that i'm stressin'
I look to the sky always ask a lot of questions
Like what to do please give me a suggestion

(chorus)
When i look to the sky keep my head up high
Everything's going wrong but my life goes on
And i gotta stay strong as i sing this song

(verse 2)
2 years ago i lived in a big house
Uptown, calm cool, but that all fell down
Had childhood friends but we went our separate ways
Some matured quick but the others stayed the same
Some became 2 faced and nobody can be trusted
Only 16 but i had keep hustlin'
Keep up the pace not broke but strugglin'
Had to do something i started from nothing and
I'm still here contemplating all the times
As a kid but the pride is alive in my mind
You can see it in my eyes look deep down inside
Its hard to provide when reality collides
If you feel you wanna die turn around and let me guide you
Beside you the answer is not suicidal
Just stay strong if you feel you wanna cry
Just look to the sky keep ya head up high
