Heads Up

[Intro] You know, from a young age I've always saw you being with my little brother, you know, hanging out, seeing you guys be creative, watch you guys both grow up. You especially grow into your craft and to such an amazing artist to inspire folks to stay out the way, most importantly, and just stay on your grind. That's really it. That's what a lot of people don't get nowadays, and seeing it exemplified in everything that you do from the voice to the connotation [Verse 1: Renaissance Mic] I can never close my eyes, I see the bigger vision They could listen as have risen to carry on my mission Some folks they think that im trippin and that my mental slipper But watch they finally pop out the creases as soon as jury glistens A-A-As they stutter they catch they breath from under the doubts A better place, it's excited to see what's next Don't get it twisted Indeed I am chasing tests But I'm warning more than just closing the golden chains on your neck Look out! It's more than just a way out I'm finna drop the blueprint like the Marcy kid who stayed down I finna bless a way to lay out Look to mom and dad and know that they gon' be proud Yeah, yeah [Chorus] Keep going, keep your head down, head down Keep going, keep your head down, head down Keep going, keep your head down, head down Keep going, keep going [Verse 2: Oddisee] Came to make some stories now for me but you Never met in person but these verses might just lead you through A decent do Used to leave school to seek deleted news Reading proof or leave you less inclined to keep believing too See the view that we aspire for requires more Than the lies we form to justify the losses we approve It's a higher form of self that needs our help to reach its truth And if you ain't honest with your highest self for me and you And it's only a matter of time before that shine converts to shading And your mind perverts for certain that your climate to a maybe And that maybe makes deserting seem like the perfect crime Ut you can't get away cause karma gets no breaks It's on its ground Unlike us we fuss and whine like we deserve or something What you make is what you take What you sow is what you reap What you mow is what you break What you earn is what you keep And if you keep your head down you might be learning something [Chorus] Keep going, keep your head down, head down Keep going, keep your head down, head down Keep going, keep your head down, head down Keep going, keep going Keep going, keep your head down, head down Keep going, keep your head down, head down Keep going, keep your head down, head down Keep going, keep going [Outro] You know when I was younger my mom would always tell me whatever you do be prepared for the consequences, and I used to always think of the worst things to come, never thought of the greater things to come, so whatever you do be prepared for the consequences, be ready for the greatness you're achieving, for the achievements that you'll make, for the path that you're paving, for the hundred people to come behind you, be prepared for your greatness
