Upstream Lyrics by Unify Collective

2018

[Pre Chorus]:
Where do I go?
Where
Oh where do I go?
Life one big moat
I row
I row
I dunno
They tell me I tell them no
They tell me I tell them no

[Verse 1]:
Weeping soul
Which direction
Look in the mirror
Reflection questions
Everything that you wish
Or demise
Bright like sunrise
Cold as wintertime
Free as eagles wings
Soaring 'round mountains peak
Yeah
I am confided
My precious time
For nickels and dimes
Freedom
Outta sight outta mind
Treason
They laugh as I'm dreamin'
Schemin'
As I comply
Nine-to-five
Dead end job
No money for Mom cause
What've I become?
What've I become?
I control my fate
Never too late
No regrets
At the gates of judgment
Yet I feel an abundance as
I deliver you all of my substance
Competing with beings redundant
Enough of em
Frontin' as somethin' they're not
Stop
Dumb down my flow
Average joe
Feel on my pain with
Each stroked evoked
Emotions not cloaked
Less of a man cause I do so
Standards to upkeep in
A bleak society which
Claims its free
Yet many boundaries are
In place
Economics, race, hate
Hey, wait
Make a change
Whether small
Or great
But do not wait too long
For the moment tends
To fly away
Yeah
Watch it fly

[Chorus] x3:
Where do I go?
(Where do I go)
Life one big moat
I row
I row
I dunno
They tell me I tell them no
They tell me I tell them no

[Verse 2}:
Who to be?
The man they want
Or the man I dream?
Watchin' wheels spin
'round and 'round
They don't care for lyrics
Only the sound
My message something
Like a ground and pound
Get it through ya head
I make the bed in which
I sleep
Drowning in the these
Thoughts that overcome
Me
When I die don't bury
Me
Lemme be free with the
Sea
Don't forget my soliloquies
So I'll be more than entity
Yeah
Roaming within the infinity
Where the lost souls are lurking
(Ugh!)
Enough of my sulking
Say that I'm crazy
That I am lazy
I like creating
Be another break in the wall like y'all?
Nah
I rather stand tall
Give it all I got
You support flops
I'm cream of the crop
I can't tell y'all apart
With your motives of greed
My motives with heart
Place me in a box
With no escape
Well I'll find out a way
As dig through the cave
Darkness retreats
Light beams the way
I hear what they say
That they don't like James
Cause they can't mold me
Like I am clay
I only
Wanna
Create
Tell me that I can't
I'll show you that I can
Don't show me no love
Then shake on my hand
Shores of our pinnacle
One day we will land
But for now we will plan
Middle finger to the man
If you don't get it now
You'll never understand

[Ending Chrous] x2:
Where do I go?
Life one big moat
I row
I row
I dunno
(row, row, I row)
They tell me I tell them no
(tell me I tell them no)
(I'm trying to find myself)
