Dont Look Down

F# F# A# G# 2x F# I'm scared I'm wasting my time F# Scared I'm losing control of my life A#m I'm scared of commitment — of calling anything mine G# I would be lying if I told you, "I'm fine" F# Serving these tables to put some food in my stomach I'm tired of seeing my mom and say "Don't worry, it's coming" A#m My heart is racing, I'm running to anything more than nothing G# Drowning in debt and I'm trying to pull us above it F# Tell me everything will be okay Tell me why does everybody got to fade away A#m Am I crossing your mind? 'Cause you been all up in mine G# But if I saw you, I don't know what I would say F# Instead of being together, I need to get it together Instead of writing these letters, I want to live to remember A#m Am I better from the past? Yeah, I wonder what I'll know G# Haunted by a dream is when you really let it go F# I guess things happen for a reason But I'ma never leave anything at chance A# At first glance I'm looking for God's hands G# The Devil's looking at me like, "Homie, come dance" F# My grandma's getting sicker, I'm never there when I can be See, my brother feeling lost, I guess it runs in the family A#m People telling me this music should be a plan B G# How could you judge me if you don't understand me? F# No breaks, one-twenty goin' in Destiny's calling, I'm like, "Baby, come on in" A#m Right now it feels like do-or-die, every day it's, "Who am I?" G# You call it nine-to-five, man, I call it suicide F# I see what they can't see; this is all that I can be Rather be homeless and broke than be labeled as "happy" A#m They don't understand me 'cause no one can stand me G# It's always the outsiders who end up outstanding F# I lost a hundred dollars on a bet It's not a lot of money, but it said a lot about me A#m In the moment, guess I didn't understand it G# When nothing is certain, don't ever take it for granted F# Pride is a poison that infested our planet Greed is okay, well, that's the way that they brand it A#m Our view of everything is such a mess G# Having less than we deserve is our perception of happiness F# What am I supposed to do? They say, "Follow the steps, stick to the guidelines" A#m If I listen to that, I'm just a kid on the sideline G# What's in your eyes? I don't care 'bout your eyeline F# Never cared about all of that Money got people snappin' for their quarter back A#m If I get it, I'ma give it back G# I feel like happiness is something everybody should have F# But we are who we are I've been lost in the dark, while I've been shooting for stars A#m Looking for love, like is it really that hard? G# Or just have someone who's there when it's all falling apart F# But every scar only makes your heart stronger Hold on, just fight a little longer A#m I ponder these lines while mopping floors every night G# That's when you feel the fatigue and all your hunger F# It's been killing me, keep going what they're telling me More regrets than memories, sometimes you gotta let it be A#m The past ain't ahead of me, I got to give my best G# How do I make change if I don't give you my two cents? F# I look around, I see the dying of youth While you're picking up a bottle, let me pour you the truth A#m I used to be like all of you, like you got nothing to lose G# Nobody want a commitment when everybody's been used F# Step in my conscience, my heart is the pilot The past is behind you, but lately I've been behind it A#m I'm finding I've been placed in happiness in people who leave G# And they love it when you're broken, hate you when you achieve F# It's like I can never be me, the world is just a routine Telling you how to live and the certain value it brings A#m Like rings, summer flings, things ain't what they seem G# So, don't you ever buy the happiness they sell on the screen F# 'Cause happiness ain't a store bought can And love isn't found in just a one-night dance A#m I'm looking at the sky like, "Give me one more chance" G# I'm tired of sitting in my room like I know I can F# Nothing's done until you do it, just look at what I'm pursuing To die like what you're doing, my girl is 'cause of my music A#m It was lose her or lose it, my heart's in the music G# F# If I didn't, I'd be dead, so I went and I choose it Trying to figure it out, and this ain't even about us A#m I'm trying to be something more, so that my kids can be proud of G# I'm trying to show everybody there's not much worth in these dollars F# Out here making a difference, don't you give up Every line that I'm writing is just for you to get up A#m Love is barely an offer yet we don't give it enough G# F# Man, what's the point of the top if nobody wants to look up? A#m G# C# So, look up, look up F# Don't look down A#m G# Look up, look up F# Don't look down Don't look down
