Up

[Verse 1] Alotta stop signs on my street, I Feel it when I'm driving to ya I think a little too much, when I don't move I want the past, and I want the future And I want the present but it goes so elusive Cruise control your way, who controls your day Am I a fool to say, that I'm Locked in a box paradox Faux boxer so I run when you knock You say you got mail for my mailbox Another debt and will I pay or not [Refrain] Hide away to find the way I'm down here Stuck up downstairs Digging deeper looking for a way up again My soul they tried to took But I won't let them [Chorus] Open up I, Open up I Hoping that I'm moving it right I'm always gonna say it to ya Always gonna say it to ya [Verse 2] And if it's written and I read it does it make it true And if you take away the filter what's the naked truth? I question all the lessons that they're telling you, expelling you Explain that to me And I won't ride along or hold the phone or hold my tongue Enough of the holding down the other guy I hate they way the youth taking the blame Ashamed to say you point your aim at the same you thought you raised right The wrong, ring in the call I'm recalling writing on sidewalks In chalk I never stayed inside the lines to be defined So why start now [Refrain] [Chorus]
