Head Up Lyrics by JAYJ

2021

[Intro]
ZBeatz made it go

[Chorus: JAYJ]
I've been tryna keep my head up
And I'm barely afloat but won't let em know
They always gon hate, just let em
I done seem em go ghost but won't let em go
I swear that I make it look easy
No ceilings on the whip, lil wheezy
Voicemail whenever they try to reach me
Brain dead on the bed, starin' at TV's

[Verse 1: JAYJ]
Ah shit, here we go again
Know I shouldn't care at all
Problem with the pessimist mindset
Stressed out, bout to set it off
I might need some trеmanol
But I don't wanna disappoint my friends
Granny still on river busy prayin' for me (Yеah)
Back when I was little used to dream of the league
But this the type of town, turn a friend to a fiend
But I'm fucked up too, so don't take it from me

[Pre-Chorus: JAYJ]
Spent ten straight months all in my room
With a half blown blunt and some worn out shoes
Got me overthinkin' the shit I do
Cause I hate myself, wanna be like you
Spent ten straight months all in my room
But the weed burnt out and I burnt out too
Got me overthinkin' the shit I do
Cause I hate myself, wanna be like you

[Chorus: JAYJ]
I've been tryna keep my head up
And I'm barely afloat but won't let em know
They always gon hate, just let em
I done seem em go ghost but won't let em go
I swear that I make it look easy
No ceilings on the whip, lil wheezy
Voicemail whenever they try to reach me
Brain dead on the bed, starin' at TV's

[Verse 2: J. Cast]
It's like I try and I try and I try (Try)
But I'm never going anywhere (No)
It's like I try and I try and I try (Try)
But I'm never going anywhere (Where)
Yeah I guess it's my fault cause I keep duckin' everyone that's around me (Me)
I need to work on it cause I know that this shit can't be healthy (Healthy)
But can I trust you, to trust me? (Trust me)
You told me "keep my head up, it's a bad dream" (Bad dream)

[Pre-Chorus: JAYJ]
Spent ten straight months all in my room
With a half blown blunt and some worn out shoes
Got me overthinkin' the shit I do
Cause I hate myself, wanna be like you
Spent ten straight months all in my room
But the weed burnt out and I burnt out too
Got me overthinkin' the shit I do
Cause I hate myself, wanna be like you

[Chorus: JAYJ]
I've been tryna keep my head up
And I'm barely afloat but won't let em know
They always gon hate, just let em
I done seem em go ghost but won't let em go
I swear that I make it look easy
No ceilings on the whip, lil wheezy
Voicemail whenever they try to reach me
Brain dead on the bed, starin' at TV's

[Outro]
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
