Brown Bread Lyrics by Dylan Cartlidge

Hope Above Adversity

2021

[Verse 1]
Going steady on the one way train
Looking heavy at the windowpane
The rain falling like a big old drain
But I told you, mamma, I'ma be okay
See I'm a big boy now (Big boy now)
And I've let you down (Let you down)
Oh, if you could see me now (See me now)
Like monkey see, yeah, monkey doin'
Lord knows I been low
I got to live life
Told you, mamma, I'ma be okay

[Chorus]
Don't look down
Mess that way
See I gotta seize the day
'Cause I told you, mamma, I'ma be okay
(I said) Don't look down (Ah)
(I said) Mess that way
See I gotta seize the day (Woah)
'Cause I told you, mamma, I'ma be okay

[Post-Chorus]
Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down
I told you, mamma, I'ma be okay

[Verse 2]
Better smile a lot when I'm around a few
Friends feeling warmer than a ramen soup
But when the party's over, all that's left to bare
Is a stare and the residual atmosphere, yo
Scream at the sky, yelling awry
I be slurring my words like D-L-Y
A stranger reacts, "Yo, are you that guy?"
Hey, high-five celebrating being alive oh

[Pre-Chorus]
How could I be wrong?
Why couldn't I see?
Alone in my dreams
Oh, mama tell me
How could I be wrong?
Why couldn't I see?
Alone in my dreams
Yeah, mama told me

[Chorus]
Don't look down
Mess that way
See I gotta seize the day
'Cause told you, mamma, I'ma be okay
(I said) Don't look down (Ah)
(I said) Mess that way
See I gotta seize the day (Woah)
'Cause told you, mamma, I'ma be okay

[Bridge]
(I said) Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down
I told you, mamma, I'ma be okay
Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down
I told you, mamma, I'ma be okay

[Breakdown]
Don't look down
Mess that way
See I gotta seize the day
'Cause I told you, mamma, I'ma be okay
(I said) Don't look down (Ah)
(I said) Mess that way
See I gotta seize the day (Woah)
'Cause I told you, mamma, I'ma be okay

[Chorus]
Don't look down
Mess that way
See I gotta seize the day
'Cause told you, mamma, I'ma be okay
(I said) Don't look down
Mess that way
See I gotta seize the day (Woah)
'Cause told you, mamma, I'ma be okay
Don't look down
Mess that way
See I gotta seize the day
'Cause I told you, mamma, I'ma be okay
(I said) Don't look down
Mess that way
See I gotta seize the day
'Cause I told you, mamma, I'ma be okay
Don't look down
Mess that way
See I gotta seize the day
'Cause I told you, mamma, I'ma be okay
(I said) Don't look down
Mess that way
See I gotta seize the day
'Cause I told you, mamma, I'ma be okay
