Don't Look Down - Ivan B.mp3

[00:22.92]I'm scared I'm wasting my time
[00:24.54]Scared I'm losing control of my life
[00:26.93]I'm scared of commitment of calling anything mine
[00:29.13]I would be lying if I told you, "I'm fine"
[00:32.06]Serving these tables to put some food in my stomach
[00:34.41]I'm tired of seeing my mom and say "Don't worry, it's coming"
[00:36.30]My heart is racing, I'm running to anything more than nothing
[00:38.50]Drowning in debt and I'm trying to pull us above it
[00:40.85]Tell me everything will be okay
[00:42.37]Tell me why does everybody got to fade away
[00:44.61]
[00:46.03]Am I crossing your mind? 'Cause you been all up in mine
[00:47.87]But if I saw you, I don't know what I would say
[00:50.24]Instead of being together, I need to get it together
[00:51.94]Instead of writing these letters, I want to live to remember
[00:54.39]Am I better from the past? Yeah, I wonder what I'll know
[00:56.94]Haunted by a dream is when you really let it go
[00:59.54]I guess things happen for a reason
[01:01.33]But I'ma never leave anything at chance
[01:03.37]At first glance I'm looking for God's hands
[01:05.72]The Devil's looking at me like, "Homie, come dance"
[01:08.03]
[01:08.84]My grandma's getting sicker, I'm never there when I can be
[01:10.84]See, my brother feeling lost, I guess it runs in the family
[01:12.98]People telling me this music should be a plan B
[01:15.17]How could you judge me if you don't understand me?
[01:18.26]No breaks, one-twenty goin' in
[01:19.97]Destiny's calling, I'm like, "Baby, come on in"
[01:22.26]Right now it feels like do-or-die, everyday it's, "Who am I?"
[01:24.90]You call it nine-to-five, man, I call it suicide
[01:26.90]I see what they can't see, this is all that I can be
[01:28.90]Rather be homeless and broke than be labeled as "happy"
[01:31.31]They don't understand me, 'cause no one can stand me
[01:33.26]It's always the outsiders who end up outstanding
[01:35.11]
[01:35.91]I lost a hundred dollars on a bet
[01:38.36]It's not a lot of money, but it said a lot about me
[01:40.31]In the moment, guess I didn't understand it
[01:42.36]When nothing is certain, don't ever take it for granted
[01:44.80]Pride is a poison that infested our planet
[01:47.06]Greed is okay, well, that's the way that they brand it
[01:49.40]Our view of everything is such a mess
[01:51.69]Having less than we deserve is our perception of happiness
[01:53.90]What am I supposed to do?
[01:55.65]They say, "Follow the steps, stick to the guidelines"
[01:58.94]If I listen to that, I'm just a kid on the sideline
[02:00.59]What's in your eyes? I don't care 'bout your eyeline
[02:02.89]Never cared about all of that
[02:05.89]Money got people snappin' for their quarter back
[02:07.96]If I get it, I'ma give it back
[02:09.30]I feel like happiness is something everybody should have
[02:12.22]
[02:18.47]But we are who we are
[02:19.61]I've been lost in the dark, while I've been shooting for stars
[02:21.40]Looking for love, like is it really that hard?
[02:23.85]Or just have someone who's there when it's all falling apart
[02:25.97]But every scar only makes your heart stronger
[02:27.86]Hold on, just fight a little longer
[02:30.35]I ponder these lines while mopping floors every night
[02:32.94]That's when you feel the fatigue and all your hunger
[02:35.44]It's been killing me, keep going what they're telling me
[02:37.32]More regrets than memories, sometimes you gotta let it be
[02:39.32]The past ain't ahead of me, I got to give my best
[02:41.38]
[02:42.43]How do I make change if I don't give you my two cents?
[02:44.57]I look around, I see the dying of youth
[02:46.82]While you're picking up a bottle, let me pour you the truth
[02:48.36]I used to be like all of you, like you got nothing to lose
[02:50.76]Nobody want a commitment when everybody's been used
[02:53.31]Step in my conscience, my heart is the pilot
[02:55.51]The past is behind you, but lately I've been behind it
[02:57.96]I'm finding I've been placed in happiness in people who leave
[03:00.40]And they love it when you're broken, hate you when you achieve
[03:01.91]It's like I can never be me, the world is just a routine
[03:05.00]Telling you how to live and the certain value it brings
[03:07.05]Like rings, summer flings, things ain't what they seem
[03:09.60]So, don't you ever buy the happiness they sell on the screen
[03:11.23]
[03:12.44]'Cause happiness ain't a store bought can
[03:13.94]And love isn't found in just a one-night dance
[03:16.38]I'm looking at the sky like, "Give me one more chance"
[03:18.63]I'm tired of sitting in my room like I know I can
[03:21.17]Nothing's done until you do it, just look at what I'm pursuing
[03:23.83]To die like what you're doing, my girl is 'cause of my music
[03:25.57]It was lose her or lose it, my heart's in the music
[03:27.82]If I didn't, I'd be dead, so I went and I choose it
[03:29.91]
[03:31.45]Trying to figure it out, and this ain't even about us
[03:35.19]I'm trying to be something more, so that my kids can be proud of
[03:37.15]I'm trying to show everybody there's not much worth in these dollars
[03:39.73]Out here making a difference, don't you give up
[03:41.72]Every line that I'm writing is just for you to get up
[03:43.52]Love is barely an offer, yeah, we don't give it enough
[03:45.73]Man, what's the point of the top if nobody wants to look up?
[03:52.97]So, look up, look up
[03:57.36]Don't look down
[04:02.26]Look up, look up
[04:06.50]Don't look down
[04:10.95]Don't look down
