Hold My Head Up Lyrics by Chris Mallett

Even When I Didn’t Realize

2017

Chorus
I can hold my head up; life is great
Hold, hold my head up; life is great
Everything in life’s gonna be okay
I can hold my head up; life is great
Verse 1
What a feeling to be young, world at my feet
And I work so hard that I get no sleep
And I’m in love with this new city
Where I can come and go, go as I please
Got piano keys wit’ guitar strings
And a nice bass drum to nod my head to the beat
Sometimes I feel like that’s all I need
I love myself and I feel at peace, so
Chorus
I can hold my head up. (Smile) Life is great
Hold, hold my head up. (Smile) Life is great
Everythang, thang’s gonna be okay, and
I could hold my head up. Life is great
Verse 2
I, I, I walk in Howard University
More beautiful women than I’ve ever seen
And you can catch ‘em turning up at a party
But next day you’ll find ‘em in a library
Which is probably where you’ll find me
‘til I get my crown spelled Ph.D
I got great friends and family
Who love to spend some time with me, and
Chorus
I can hold my head up. (Smile) Life is great
Hold, hold my head up. (Smile) Life is great
Everythang, thang’s gonna be okay, and
I could hold my head up. Life is great
Let the sun rays shine on your face
I could hold my head up. (Smile) Life is great
Everythang, thang’s gonna be okay
I could hold my head up. Life is great
