Mental by Jashae Lyrics
[Produced by Omito Beats & Sawan K]
[Verse 1: Jashae]
Stress sitting on my mental
These days, I been feeling like I’m playing catch up
Head been underwater I been fighting to get back up
But life been holding me down she's so temperamental
One moment she loves me, the other she's just a female dog
The switch-up, most of these niggas move like females, dog
Now am I wrong
For thinking that we fell far from what was expected
Blame it on fact that I been neglected
Nothing coincidental
Know I’m here for a reason
Jesus been resurrected for betterment of believing in
Power higher than self
I can’t do it all
But Lord knows I got people I can do without
Who can I call when I need help with my back against the wall
I been tryna find a way out
Underground Railroad shit
'Case you ain’t know where we came from
Out the dirt with my day ones
Still trekking mud on our feet
How you make this far with no intentions to peak
[Pre-Chorus: Jashae & Nancy Ruban]
I been climbing
Working round the clock, can’t you see I put the time in
Gotta take a shot, they say wait for perfect timing
But it’s now or never
And failed attempts are opportunities for better
Gotta keep ya head up
Gotta keep ya head up
Eyes on horizon
And every day another battle but I’m striving
Yeah, I'm striving
[Chorus: Jashae & Nancy Ruban]
Gotta keep ya head up when it’s looking down
Do it for mama, promise you I'ma
Keep on working just to make you proud
And with the way that it seems I know it’s hard to believe
But I’m that nigga I can’t fake it now
Do it for mama do it for papa
And I be working just to make you proud
Things are getting better, just gotta keep ya head up
[Verse 2: Jashae]
And I know I made mistakes along the way
But you live and you learn
Seek and you find, you give and you earn
Simple concept for mortal man
See too many people doing less and giving more demands
Pray I never get that comfortable
Nothing to lose, but I got everything to gain on this
Path I’ve paved
Casting my net in the water I ain’t fishing for praise
I’m just praying for some food on my plate
Know the family gotta eat
I ain’t make this far with no intentions to peak
[Pre-Chorus: Jashae & Nancy Ruban]
I been climbing
Working round the clock, can’t you see I put the time in
Gotta take a shot, they say wait for perfect timing
But it’s now or never
And failed attempts are opportunities for better
Gotta keep ya head up
Gotta keep ya head up
Eyes on horizon
And every day another battle but I’m striving
Yeah, I'm striving
[Chorus: Jashae & Nancy Ruban]
Gotta keep ya head up when it’s looking down
Do it for mama, promise you I'ma
Keep on working just to make you proud
And with the way that it seems I know it’s hard to believe
But I’m that nigga I can’t fake it now
Do it for mama do it for papa
And I be working just to make you proud
Things are getting better, just gotta keep ya head up
