Voli Contra - Look Up lyrics
[Voli Contra - Look Up lyrics]
Now tell me where I gotta go from here
Do I change my life?
Left the alarm clock ringin
Wearin that pillow like it's part of my image
Let my dreams live about four
Or five minutes more hey send me an angel
Tell her to give me the strength
That I need to go on
Commutin' through this AM traffic
The road is unclear through the radio static
No manual for life, so I stay in automatic
Dead end job got me livin on front street
Day to day relying on the
Bread like lunch meat
Is this the life that I worked so hard for?
Now is this debt really worth this armoire
Or this plasma, or this foreign car?
I don’t know, it’s the game I play
Live day by day, let me say my grace
So please, let me say my grace
We look for the American dream
They show us our lives on a 20 inch screen
Baby girl, life ain’t everything it seems
The heart is where the home is
And you wonder why we
Wander like the homeless?
Shit they say you should’ve been a lawyer
But eighty grand in school
Loans could’ve been avoided
If you’da told the universe
What you really wanted, but
Close your eyes for a moment
Maybe you can see
They say that heaven is a place on earth
So please, don’t cry
Let’s try to wash the pain in those eyes
Baby look up, look up, up to the sky
(So when we gonn fly?) i know it’s hard
We don’t know what tomorrow brings
Today is for us so baby look up
Yeah, this is how we live when we don’t
Let nobody tell us how we live
And everything I am
No longer measured by the things I had
The things I had…So can I live my path?
This is the verse of a lifetime
The realest shit I ever wrote
This is what disturbs me at night time
No sleep bright and early
When the light shines
Picture that like a Nikon, 4 minutes
Can I save the world with the right rhyme?
The story of a generation
Had goals for the finish line
But never made it, uh
Old dreams, the good die young
This hateful world never took my love away
Away i know it's hard for ya, honey
Dropped out of school to work
Hard for the money daddy out of work
Now you gotta pay the mortgage
Just a few months before the bank forecloses
Now your money stuck like the
Change in the sofa just the other day
You were thinking bout diplomas
You were thinking bout diplomas
Now I know you need a shoulder
Funny how lack of time can
Make you feel older
But, I guess that’s life
Nuthin left but to make things right
I know the stars seem far from your window
But, it's only so far if you think so
They say that heaven is a place on earth
So please, don’t cry
Let’s try to wash the pain in those eyes
Baby look up, look up, up to the sky
(So when we gonn fly?) i know it’s hard
We don’t know what tomorrow brings
Today is for us so baby look up
Yeah, this is how we live when we don’t
Let nobody tell us how we live
And everything I am
No longer measured by the things I had
The things I had…So can I live my path?
Do I change my life?
Left the alarm clock ringin
Wearin that pillow like it's part of my image
Let my dreams live about four
Or five minutes more hey send me an angel
Tell her to give me the strength
