Just Being Jake: Song Lyrics, "Fighting"

"Fighting"

Chorus

I'm fighting to keep my head up

It seems like one thing after another that keep the shades down

It seems like everything is collapsing on top of me

Each day a struggle to go in and break though

Looking straight at the circumstance wondering

Wondering when the light will be reflecting

verse 1

Yeah this a hello

A hello from a blues and underground fellow

And now you will see the matrix of my mind

Now you will see all of what I do in my two eyes

And in my eyes I'm walking on the concrete tiling

Taking steps at this time as I try to find the true meaning underlining

 I hold this paper in my hands

Between the lines I repeat these verses

Tryna come in and go through attempting to release what seems like life's curse's

But its difficult to surpass the unknown forces

And to get through the oceans pushes

You would just like the flooded crevices to be what abolishes

verse 2

It leaves ya in thoughts of emptyness from the erosion

Stranded on the lands of confusion along with the added pollutions

The pollutions of faded dreams embodied in itself

Like a room full of books, they speak out except in doubts

I guess I am glad I was born stubborn

Cuz I'm not letting the dissembled ideas sprout

Not only that I got a lil more knowledge now

Add 10+10 and you'll get twice the knowledge

And that makes you able to acknowledge

Acknowledge whatcha got here

Adhere that you gotta keep your head up when fear sears

And let your heart shine when it feels like its being struck by spears

Chorus

I'm fighting to keep my head up

It seems like one thing after another that keep the shades down

It seems like everything is collapsing on top of me

Each day a struggle to go in and break though

Looking straight at the circumstance wondering

Wondering when the light will be reflecting

Verse 3

I admit I get tired of the downgradement

But I get energy from the statements

Cuz I see what is real and whats unrealistic

Now thats real artistic

Artistic because its unparalled

Something so reflective like yourself looking into a pond

You really see yourself through the mirror

Building upon yourself from the interiror

Now you attach onto the steps of reality

Opening the gateway being ready seeing and believing in you from the actuality

I now stand strong moving through the casualties

Not positioning myself in categories

Verse 4

I stand here as well caring for the very people who help make me who I am

If they need something I got em

If I need to talk their here to listen

from both sides the truth glistens

So in other words I'm fighting for what means the world to me

I shall not wish to ever have these people taken away from me

Cuz there is no potion for that

With them here I stay truely blessed

They give me the motivation to progress

When my head is held down they won't let me feel like I'm arrested

Nor shall I have to second guess

Cuz I know life is good

So I say welcome and shalome

Here is the unfolded schroll made of gold

Chorus

I'm fighting to keep my head up

It seems like one thing after another that keep the shades down

It seems like everything is collapsing on top of me

Each day a struggle to go in and break though

Looking straight at the circumstance wondering

Wondering when the light will be reflecting
