about

A song about keeping the faith despite the absurdity of the world we live in.

lyrics

Some days it feels like the world is upside down
What’s wrong is right, what day is night
You crave the power
Nothing makes sense, no
Keep reaching for the crown, yeah

Dig up the lead, never defeated
They call us the ones in need, no, we are the needed
Too much deceit, feed deleted
Trustlessness fatigue, you wouldn’t believe it
I make a beat every time they got me heated
Flip it into blessings I receive, and I’ve never cheated
All set, falsetto, chest, and good weed
Tut said “never let them see you bleed”, that’s why suckers eat it 
I know you wish I would take a knee
Clearly, you must be a bit confused
Funny thing, when you lied to me
You took everything I had to loose
Go on and cry, go on and beg for me
Your punishment will be mine to choose
Ain’t no hiding when payback is due

Keep reaching for the crown (x2)

Some days it feels like the world is upside down
What’s wrong is right, what day is night
You crave the power
Nothing makes sense, no
Keep reaching for the crown, yeah

As I walk thru the valley of the shadow of death
Inhaling every ounce of life
Until the end of my breath
Remember all the little things
Keep your mind fresh
Grateful for the now
Put your free will to the test
There will never ever ever be another you
What you get is what you give, you gotta follow through
One foot out and one foot in
Karma always comes around again
It don’t matter how hard you try to conceal it
All the comets up in space could fly in reverse speeding
Wish upon a shooting star, feel your heart beating
No matter what, they can’t take what is yours
Promise that you’ll keep reaching

Keep reaching for the crown (x2)

Some days it feels like the world is upside down
What’s wrong is right, what day is night
You crave the power
Nothing makes sense, no
Keep reaching for the crown, yeah
