lyrics

While I’m looking up sometimes, I’m in the sunshine, I need to grow
Wrapped up in the confines of my mind, I don’t mean to be remote
Even though it’s hard sometimes for me to voice this, you mean the most
I can’t stay up in the shadows man it’s time for me to glow

So I been holding up my own thang, tryna maintain within the elements
I’m going through it for the hell of it
Why it seem choose the hardest way to go?
when the way to get the ring is through the fellowship
While I’m stressing it’s routine to play the mellow game
Then some people see right through me like some cellophane
Maybe thats a fella thang harder than it needs to be
Keep my head up on the people that believe in me
Then switch the frame, pick a lane
Feel my spirit, ditch the brain
God will flick the switch and make it stick so I can do my thang
Move it on let the process take control
And when we gone we can relish in the growth
Own it all don’t embellish on the low
They’ll try to tell us how but can’t navigate the road
It’s in ya soul, let these other niggas know
Ain’t no holding back, in fact, because it’s time for me to glow

While I’m looking up sometimes, I’m in the sunshine, I need to grow
Wrapped up in the confines of my mind, I don’t mean to be remote
Even though it’s hard sometimes for me to voice this, you mean the most
I can’t stay up in the shadows man it’s time for me to glow

I been feelin all this pressure so I’m asking where the diamonds at
I’m finding that the weather in my life I can control it with a Clima-Tact
Imagine that the passion I’ve been hiding
Even if it ain’t been polished its still vibrant and it’s shining
I’m saying a solitaire is meant to be alone and now I’m looking at the throne
Like I can’t build it on my own I ain’t never been that strong
Or maybe I just forgot the way to architect the intersections of a better day
Now my reflection is a version of a better me
And no more holding back my purpose gotta let me see
The epitome don’t pity me I’m no longer a pit of me
It no longer exists within my history it’s not a mystery the gift in me is shining
So now I look up at the stars and they’re aligning
I’m at the point where I don’t need to be reminded
It’s eternal and no need for me to find it the Glow

And while I’m looking up
You keep giving me the bliss,
Knowing that you hold me up
It’s too hard for me to quit
We keep shining through it all
And that light will never dip
yeah, I hope forever be like this

And while I’m looking up
You keep giving me the bliss,
Knowing that you hold me up
It’s too hard for me to quit
We keep shining through it all
And that light will never dip
yeah, I hope forever feel like this

While I’m looking up sometimes, I’m in the sunshine, I need to grow
Wrapped up in the confines of my mind, I don’t mean to be remote
Even though it’s hard sometimes for me to voice this, you mean the most
I can’t stay up in the shadows man it’s time for me to glow
