Lyrics
[Chorus]
Sometimes it's harsh, I can't lie
Sunshine is hard to come by
From outside it's calm, but inside I'm broken, fed up
Once it goes left it's hard to do right
But when you get your chance, if you try
You'll succeed at last and that's why I hold my head up
High (I hold my head)
High (I hold my head)
High (One hand up in the sky and say)
High (I hold my head)
High (I hold my head)
Hold my head up high
[Verse 1]
I hold my head up high
But there's nuff times I get uptight (Why?)
'Cause they sell us lies
And when we don't buy it
And go quiet
It's a riot
That's messed up, right?
But we
Move
So get out the way
I had to clear my head out today
Breathe in some peace, breathe out the pain
We are kings and queens, we'll see out the reign
And what we playing?
Real music
Feel music
This ain't house music
More like field music
Yeah, it's hot music, but you can chill to it
It's not block music, but you can build to it
I'm old school, I like ill music
'Cause the sick thing is you can heal through it
And when it resonates
That's when it makes you feel human
And that's the reason why I still do it
[Chorus]
Sometimes it's harsh, I can't lie
Sunshine is hard to come by
From outside it's calm, but inside I'm broken, fed up
Once it goes left it's hard to do right
But when you get your chance, if you try
You'll succeed at last and that's why I hold my head up
High (I hold my head)
High (I hold my head)
High (One hand up in the sky and say)
High (I hold my head)
High (I hold my head)
Hold my head up high
[Verse 2]
Up to the stars
So even if I stumble it's calm
Rather trip on a moon rock and bump into Mars
Than slip on the pavement, end up on my arse
No cutting remarks
But bluntly I'm sharp
So when I'm chucking a dart
I must hit the mark
Even off of the head it comes from the heart
This isn't an act, but I play my part
'Cause I studied the craft for the love of the art
And nothing surpasses this culture of ours
I still recall how it was in the start
When there wasn't a chance to get up in the charts
You must be having a laugh
The ones who got far were pop stars, or rock stars strumming guitars
But we'd run up in the dance, just for a chance
For a touch of the mic, for a couple of bars
And that right there is where my bucket list starts
Not with watches or luxury cars
I'm sullied and scarred from a colourful past
But who's without sin?
None of us are
So I hold my head high
[Chorus]
Sometimes it's harsh, I can't lie
Sunshine is hard to come by
From outside it's calm, but inside I'm broken, fed up
Once it goes left it's hard to do right
But when you get your chance, if you try
You'll succeed at last and that's why I hold my head up
High (I hold my head)
High (I hold my head)
High (One hand up in the sky and say)
High (I hold my head)
High (I hold my head)
Hold my head up
High (I hold my head)
High (I hold my head)
High (One hand up in the sky and say)
High (I hold my head)
High (I hold my head)
Hold my head up high
