Lyrics

I REALIZE WE GOTTA STRIVE TO KEEP ALIVE BUT,WHAT ELSE WE GONNA DO WE GOTTA KEEP THE DRIVE UP NEVER STOPPIN I DON’T WANNA DIE NO GOTTA KEEP MY HEAD BUT,I’M FEELIN FED UP 


NOW THAT I’M HOME I’M EMOTIONAL  THINKIN OF A FAMILY 
THAT I’M MISSIN NEAR THE OCEAN WISHIN I WAS CLOSER TO’EM
FEELING LONESOME THINKIN ABOUT MY CHILDHOOD KNOWING I HAD PARENTS BUT,I NEVER GOT TO HOLD’EM CLOSE SADDENED MOSTLY BY THE FACT THAT NO ONE EVER NOTICED ME NEVER FEELING WHOLESOME WONDERING IS THIS
THE WAY GROWING UP’S SUPPOSED TO BE WITH NO SHOULDER TO CRY ON AND, NO ONE TO RELY ON WHO WAS GONNA GUIDE ME OR GIVE ME THE DRIVE WHEN IT’S TIME TO STRIVE FOR SOMETHIN BETTER WHY AM I ALIVE  IS THE QUESTION I WAS POSED WITH MOSTLY EVERY MOMENT OF MY LIFE LIVING IN THIS WORLD ALONE HOW WILL  I SURVIVE 
ALWAYS HOPING THINGS GET BETTER I TRY TO KEEP MY HEAD  UP BUT,THE PRESSURE OF MY SITUATION’S ONLY GETTING HEAVIER WILL IT EVER LET UP AT NIGHT I LAYED IN BED CRYING WISHIN I WAS DEAD.SO 
 WHERE SHOULD I GO FROM HERE WAKING EVERY MORNING WITH A PILLOW SOAKED IN TEARS FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF SO I STARTED DRINKING BEER SMOKING CIGARETTES LISTENING TO  HIGH SCHOOL PEERS THIS DID’NT GET ME ANYWHERE NOW I STARTED STEALIN WHEELIN, AND, DEALIN ANYTHING TO MAKE A FRIEND SOON I STARTED REALIZING ALL OF THOSE DISGUISES .ON THOSE PEOPLE  I WAS THINKING WERE MY FRIENDS IN THE END WERE NO DIFFERENT.THEN MY PARENTS WHY’D THE HELL THEY EVEN BOTHER HAVING KIDS  MY CHILDHOOD WAS FINISHED TO ALL THE CHILDREN LIVIN WITH THIS PROBLEM ASK A FRIEND TO TEACH YOU HOW TO CALL THE FEDS I AIN’T KIDDIN I HAVE’NT EVEN STARTED YET WITH ALL THE EVIL SHIT MY PARENTS DID
 NOW THE SHIT’S ABOUT TO HIT THE FAN I’M HOPING THAT YOU UNDERSTAND MOM AND,DAD NO KID SHOULD EVER HAVE TO FEEL THIS KIND OF PAIN AGAIN SO IT’S UP TO ME TO HELP’EM SEE SO THAT THEY UNDERSTAND IF A PARENT EVER LAYS A HAND ON YOU WITH AGGRESSION THEN IT’S TIME TO TEACH YOUR FOLKS A LITTLE LESSON BE STRONG STAND TALL DON’T FALLCUZ IT’S TIME TO MAKE A STAND
ONCE  AGAIN I’M THINKIN ABOUT THIS FAMILY NEAR THE OCEAN
WISHIN I WAS CLOSER TO’EM FEELIN SORDA LONESOME
NOW I’M THINKIN THAT I SHOULD BE LIVIN NEAR THE OCEAN






I REALIZE WE GOTTA STRIVE TO KEEP ALIVE BUT,WHAT ELSE WE GONNA DO WE GOTTA KEEP THE DRIVE UP NEVER STOPPIN I DON’T WANNA DIE NO GOTTA KEEP MY HEAD BUT,I’M FEELIN FED UP SO IT’S TIME TO TEACH THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD WHAT’S REAL HOW TO DEAL LET’S HEAL   TRY EXPRESSING HOW  YOU FEEL STOP WAITIN,GET UP GOTTA KEEP YOUR HEAD UP KIDS KEEP YOUR HEAD UP PARENTS KEEP YOUR HEAD UP TOO







I’M MUCH HAPPIER THAN MOST THOUGH ,EVERYDAY COASTS BY WRITING RHYMES I’M NOT  DRINKIN ANYMORE FOR THIS FAMILY I WOULD MAKE ONE HUNDRED TOASTS THOUGH  I COULD NEVER HAVE A LOSS OF WORDS FOR WHAT I WANNA SAY ABOUT’EM  ONE THING IS FOR SURE  THE LOVE THEY SHARE IS PURE WHEN THEY LEFT I FELT A PAIN AND,IT’S HURTING   I’LL BE MISSIN’EM FOR  CERTAIN THEY MADE ME FEEL ALIVE  NEVER LIKE A BURDEN THEY TREATED ME SO KIND AT TIMES THE LOVE THEY SHOWED ME MADE ME WANNA CRY BUT.I DID’T CUZ I KNOW IT’S REAL LOVE THAT THEY WERE GIVING  NOW I’M FLYIN HIGH
ONLY TRYIN TO TEACH A LESSON I’LL NEVER KEEP YOU GUESSIN LIVIN ON THIS PLANET IS A BLESSING THIS I KNOW FOR SURE
SO MANY PEOPLE STRESSIN IT’S TIME TO FIND A CURE I’M TRYING TO MAKE THE BIGGEST OF IMPRESSIONS YOU UNDERSTAND THIS ISSUE THAT I’M PRESSIN TO ALL THE WORLD IT’S TIME TO PUT AN END TO THIS MESS





I REALIZE WE GOTTA STRIVE TO KEEP ALIVE BUT,WHAT ELSE WE GONNA DO WE GOTTA KEEP THE DRIVE UP NEVER STOPPIN I DON’T WANNA DIE NO GOTTA KEEP MY HEAD BUT,I’M FEELIN FED UP SO IT’S TIME TO TEACH THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD WHAT’S REAL HOW TO DEAL LET’S HEAL   TRY EXPRESSING HOW  YOU FEEL STOP WAITIN,GET UP GOTTA KEEP  YOUR HEAD UP KIDS KEEP YOUR HEAD UP PARENTS KEEP YOUR HEAD UP TOO
