[Verse 1] Im just living in an upstairs apartment So please take your shoes off cause I got carpet Sorry for the smell I havent taken out the garbage Im too busy trying to become a hip hop artist Yeah, im kind of a rapoholic And you can tell im buzzed just by the way that im walking Pacing back and forth with my ipod in I may not be the biggest man but my heart the largest I love hip hop dont ever tell me im heartless The road to become famous is a long and hard process I figured that much, plus im only 17 And the only thing I hold close is my mic and my dream And any light that I see I try to sneak a peak Just to see if its true that the other side is green And it might just be another big disappointment But maybe no so lets see how it ends up going [Hook] Sometimes there surprises in life Sometimes there good and sometimes there like Man it cant get much worse for me, But be resilient and get back on your feet cause Sometimes there surprises in life Sometimes there good and sometimes there like Man it cant get much worse for me, But be resilient and get back on your feet [Verse 2] Lifes too short to just dwell over nonsense Cause whats life if your not making progress Take chances cause its harmless The worst that could happen is your back where you started And keep evolving because change is constant And self doubt is only something in your conscience I promise im being truly honest Words can be heavy but not when their thoughtless What im trying to say is I mean every word Every syllable even if it seems too absurd Im not trying to be fly like a bird I just wanna make good music like when they sing and they chirp And you would think that it would hurt to always be rejected But step back and just take a second To collect yourself and learn from this lesson And you never know maybe your next song will be your best hit [Chrous] Sometimes there surprises in life Sometimes there good and sometimes there like Man it cant get much worse for me, But be resilient and get back on your feet cause Sometimes there surprises in life Sometimes there good and sometimes there like Man it cant get much worse for me, But be resilient and get back on your feet [Verse 3] You might feel like you hit rock bottom And all the good dont outweigh the problems Now im here to give you a lift To replace the bad with the positive But just remember im only here to help Eventually your gonna have to learn for yourself That you gotta lift yourself up whenever you fall Be proud of who you are and stand tall Yeah, stand tall Be proud of who you are, and thats all
