Don't never let nobody tell you what you can and cannot do
I was always told keep your head up
I got my first job at 16 years old
Working with my homie Ron
Always tryna make a couple dimes and pennies
Feeding all them old people food in they pjs
But then I realized
All this shit ain't worth my mental health
Regardless of the situation, I wasn't patient
My intuition, it was just racing
I couldn't stand being commended
I couldn't stand being reprimanded
I was getting disrespected at my job
Missing paychecks, man, f*ck this 9-to-5
They gon' look at you lower
Cause they ain't making the same pay as they pay rate
And bitches hate in the same way that you plan dates
I'm wishing up to the gods that I just find my peace
Man, when I got my first show
You was hating on a nigga on his first dough
And I can't even lie
Nobody even f*cked with the guy
The guy is me is what you see
Nobody even really liked me
Before for the PS, I couldn't see
I was only a mere shadow of what I could be
Man, f*ck you
You put that 80 in my check
Nobody even cared for the rest
Invalidate my feelings for the best
I wish that I was seen as better
I wish all workers had it better
I wish that the world wasn't mauvais
Instead of being triste, let's lead the stray
My homies in the world, raise your hand
If that minimum wage ain't cutting wage
If you hitting the club just to get laid
If you feeling a way to feel a way
If you killing them all, then let them say
If you killing them all, then let them say
If you killing them all, then let them say
Never let nobody tell you what you can and cannot do
Always keep your head up
Even when the days are rainy
You gon' get where you wanna go
Your positivity, love, and peace
Is set in motion
Head high up, high up high
Your head high up, high up high
I wish somebody could just take me back to them days
Man, playing with my cousin
On that imac
My dawg, man
I heard somebody say
That when we die we go into this dream state
And some memories that I wish that I could just
Replay over and over in my head
