Hold Your Head Up Lyrics

Hold Your Head Up by Akala

• I was the kid in school
• With hand me downs from my sister
• And gal dem still loved me now that's charisma
• Front of my crep split
• Ain't seen a barber for months
• But the way I profile
• you would have thought I was Trump
• Back when I was spotty
• And my head way outgrew my body
• Even those times spittin it shoddy
• Before I bust my first nut
• Behind the trees in the park
• You'd find me and Jay drunk way after dark
• Bams too, looking for moves
• Like bees do swarming
• Funny thing we all got ball in the morning
• We like thirteen
• But grown as we see it
• You find us any Saturday night in coliseum 
• Sticking d*ck to big gal
• And I told her my age straight
• Never been one to play games 
• Or watch face or none of that
• Pop shots I'm gunning back
• No ball to catch
• Look how these cowards running back
• No matter what they say to you
• No matter what they put you through
• Always to yourself stay true
• You gotta hold your head up high
• When you feel you've hit the ground
• And they seem to laugh out loud
• Whatever goes up must come down
• You gotta hold your head up high
• For my young tugs on every block
• Eighth in their sock
• With aims to get paid and parade in the drop
• Sweet kids get older
• grow chips on both shoulders
• Daddy left it seems the wind done blow colder
• Even in july
• that's why we hoodied the whole year
• Mothers lose sons when them clouds disappear
• Nothin sweet out here
• But I count my blessings
• Been through a lot of sh*t
• but I take it as lessons
• Just a young yout that ain't never had nothing
• Many times went to school
• Stomach still rumblin
• Still felt like I had a right to f**k
• Brought gal to my yard
• and the power would cut
• While youts sleeping
• I'm at the launderette before school
• With big bin liners still trying to look cool
• At the time it was hell
• Now I just laugh
• Funny how you change
• the way you feel about the past
• If they put your back to the wall
• You gotta stand tall
• Don't watch these little d*cks
• All they do is talk
• F*ck em all I'm rollin
• Real ni**as'll roll wid it
• Yeah life's a b*tch
• But I still wanna hit it
• Spit what's real to me nothing more
• nothing less
• Ni**as ain't got no homes
• But roll with stones around they neck
• Can't you see you're the diamond
• Always shining
• Plus the only thing
• tough enough to break us is us
