Up

Say hello to the Lord with my sincerest regards Why the rise in the tide of troubled waters we cross Into the fire and frost when the desire is lost Is it survivor's remorse that raised higher the cost During the year of the horse, I had so much to resolve It hung me over, I was fearing the hair of the dog They killed my homie, I was there when they carried him off When we buried him, we wrapped him in Nigerian cloth They told a story 'bout him having a malaria cough They tried to say he had a weapon that was clearly a torch I hold the fury so they fear me, but it nearly was washed Expecting me to be forgiving like it really was, squashed But I have seen so much that I can never be hushed I've been the bearer of a burden that is heavy as fuck I'm pure legacy, incredibly, I'll never be touched It ain't nowhere to go from here but up Why must I feel so low to the ground Low to the ground, low Why does it feel so low to the ground, no, oh Seen it on the walls, I wanted to believe Will it ever settle down, no Don't know the answers to all of the questions I've never felt alone like this before I've seen the culture decline while we were all in denial And seen a murderer smile as he was brought into trial I've watched a vulture circle awaiting the fall of a child And canines devoured alive, the call of the wild I couldn't accept the charge for the call of the void Or for progress destroyed over Darwin and Freud Survival totally could depend on the toss of a coin Or upon which organization allowed you to join I live on the borderline like a dishwater blonde Or like Malcolm suiting up to head to the Audubon I caught a vibe I would've taken as some sort of sign Were I more aligned, but I was running so short of time And I have felt so much that I am numb to the touch When their assumptions make it hard for me to function, it's rough 'Cause every something I ever wanted was once in my clutch So ain't nowhere to go from here but up Why must I feel so low to the ground Low to the ground, low Why does it feel so low to the ground, no, oh Seen it on the walls, I wanted to believe Will it ever settle down, no Don't know the answers to all of the questions I've never felt alone like this before
