Lyrics
[Pre-Chorus: Nasty C]
I was just sittin’ in the back of the bus, now I pull up in a demon
I’m tellin’ you that to show you how crazy your life could change if you believe it
I know it gets hard to maintain sometimes, I seen it
You gotta keep your head above the water
Stay calm and keep dreamin’
[Chorus: Nasty C]
No matter what they say, yeah
Gotta keep your head up
No matter what they say, yeah
Keep your head up
No matter what they say, yeah
Gotta keep your head up
No matter what they say, yeah
Keep your head up (Keep your head up, youngin’)
[Verse: Nasty C]
Yeah
Come rain or sunshine, I’ma keep on pushin’
I’ma let these people keep on talkin’, let ’em keep on lookin’
They don’t know my struggle
They don’t know why God put me where He put me
And as long as I get to wherever I’m goin’
I won’t care how long it took me
And I won’t hate no man for being on his grind
That’s just not the vibe
That’s just not what I do with my time
Let that nigga try
Let that nigga win, let him fly
If you wonder why his success is not a threat to mine
‘Cause I’m still right here gettin’ it a hundred ways
Still keepin’ it a hundred thou’
Heart broken in a hundred ways
Mind movin’ at a hundred miles
You might see me on stadium stage
But I come from the underground
I done boarded about a hundred planes
I done walked in a hundred towns
If I want shit, I hunt shit dow
I thank God that my heart still pounds
Tryna balance this life like symphony
But it’s made of a hundred sounds
You’re supposed to want the best for me
Why would you try to bring me down?
I had 99 problems like Jay-Z, but you’re makin’ it a 100 now
[Pre-Chorus: Nasty C]
I was just sittin’ in the back of the bus, now I pull up in a demon (Yeah)
I’m tellin’ you that to show you how crazy your life could change if you believe it
I know it gets hard to maintain sometimes, I seen it
You gotta keep your head above the water
Stay calm and keep dreamin’
[Chorus: Nasty C, Nasty C & Soweto Gospel]
And no matter what they say, yeah
Gotta keep your head up
No matter what they say, yeah
Keep your head up
No matter what they say, yeah
Keep your head up
No matter what they say, yeah
Keep your head up
[Outro: Soweto Gospel Choir]
Yelele, oh yelele
Yelele, oh yelele
Yelele, oh yelele
Yelele, oh yelele
Hey, keep your head up
Yelele, oh yelele
Yelele, oh yelele
Yelele, oh yelele
Yelele, oh yelele
Hey, keep your head up
