I am a pioneer, with the ways I think I'm cradling my giant spears Though the angels speak inside my ears This place I've grown to love, where love is all in vain Where I see the palace and gutter and feed my hunger pangs My lungs weren't satiated with the emptiness My love turns to one verse Though my brain's not yet convinced A classic recipe to cook up some excellence The sessions get sparse when the good luck has exited But I awoke to a pretty fresh day Although I had a splitting headache And I feeling stretched way too thin Reduced to putting my dues in It's what we do till our music gets play Speaking with the force to supplement your well-being Compels people to support, I don't have to sell things I right it, read it, and record it, the feeling is euphoric Figure out what my message is then come tell me (Don't look down) I put my head up, even if I'm facin' the clouds (Don't look down) I put my head up, so you can see my face in the crowd (Don't look down) I put my head up, even if I'm facin' the clouds (Don't look down) I put my head up, so you can see my face in the crowd Pipe dreams, reverend does not stand in your place Sight's gleam from a weapon, shot a man in the face Life seems long, in seconds drop to the sand and pray Lightning from the heavens crawl as I stand in his grace From the blood of the wishful, in darkness I will shine Cut from the thistle, marked by design There's no love within you when your partisan's divine That's why my motherfuckin' pencil is sharper than your mind They say God is us in likeness and we created him I'm modest of the right I did in silence when I pray to him I'm conscious of your righteousness Your highness has forsaken him For God is love, the life you live And what you choose to make of it They powdered the issues of power they misuse Fistfuls of tissues, palms of blood In the hours I give you, flowers will shrivel Underneath the whistles of the missiles that they launch at us (Don't look down) I put my head up, even if I'm facin' the clouds (Don't look down) I put my head up, so you can see my face in the crowd (Don't look down) I put my head up, even if I'm facin' the clouds (Don't look down) I put my head up, so you can see my face in the crowd I'm a matador sort, blanket up the bull I'm a waiter in such, making sure that your glass is half-full Anything less is uncivil for the simple who bear a soul Riddled by a ripple of rhythm of cycles And I know what it's like to suck at life Shit, I'm alive though, so I must be doing something right And if I took it any further I'd be two drips out the beaker Before I reach the Bunsen burner In turn, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree In terms of this battle, doesn't fall too far from you and me And it's as real as a heartbeat And still, I put my face out in the crowd In case God forgot me And honestly, I ain't pay homage in a minute y'all It's probably that I'm lost in the start of what will finish all These are trying times, so we just do it I keep my head up so you'll always see my face through this music (Don't look down) I put my head up, even if I'm facin' the clouds (Don't look down) I put my head up, so you can see my face in the crowd (Don't look down) I put my head up, even if I'm facin' the clouds (Don't look down) I put my head up, so you can see my face in the crowd
