WE STAY UP
Resilience Anthem: Defying the World's Letdowns with Gary Clark Jr.
Lyrics
We stay up when the whole world lets us down
We remain awake and resilient despite the world's disappointments.
We go through it, over and under
We face challenges, navigating over and under obstacles.
We stay up when the whole world lets us down
Continuing to stay upbeat despite global letdowns.
Then we prove it again, watch us move around
We consistently demonstrate our abilities and mobility.
We stay up when the whole world lets us down
Perseverance in staying up despite global adversities.
We never lose, never crumble, we move around
We don't yield or break; we keep moving resiliently.
We stay up when the whole world lets us down
Remaining positive despite the world's downturns.
Soothe it again with the sound, watch us move around
Finding comfort and solace in the sound, continuing to move.
It's hard to love what I don't want
Expressing difficulty in loving what is not desired.
Easy to hate what I don't know
It's easier to harbor negative feelings towards the unknown.
I never lose if I don't wanna win
A philosophical stance: not losing is a choice, not a necessity.
I'm with them, we're rollin' solo, yeah
Being part of a group, facing challenges together.
I keep the herb and the pen close
Keeping both cannabis and writing tools close.
Ooh, can't nobody know
Preserving privacy, not letting others know everything.
It's gettin' harder to breathe but I know
Feeling the pressure but maintaining awareness and control.
We stay up when the whole world lets us down, yeah
Consistently staying resilient despite global disappointments.
We go through it, over and under
Navigating challenges with flexibility and determination.
We stay up when the whole world lets us down
Remaining positive despite global letdowns, proving resilience.
Then we prove it again (yeah), watch us move around
Demonstrating resilience again and moving confidently.
In a world where they make rules
Reflecting on a world with established rules.
Everything around me cash rules
Highlighting the influence of money in the surroundings.
Gotta break through, gotta have to
Breaking through obstacles is essential for any goal.
For anything, anything so
Emphasizing the need to strive for anything and everything.
We stay up
Reiterating the theme of staying resilient.
Tryna get my mind right
Seeking mental clarity and relaxation.
Smoke cigars and my mind right
Indulging in cigars for a peaceful state of mind.
So you can watch us move around
Inviting observation while confidently moving forward.
I gotta be a, uh
Expressing the need to be a determined individual.
I gotta be a soldier, soldier
Embracing the role of a resilient soldier.
Out on my own, it's on
Taking charge independently; the responsibility is personal.
We stay up when the whole world lets us down (oh-oh, whoa, whoa, oh-oh)
Persisting through global downturns with strength.
And we move around (yeah)
Continuing to move confidently despite challenges.
We stay up when the whole world lets us down (we stay up when the world lets us down)
Staying positive and resilient in the face of global setbacks.
We never lose, never crumble, we move around (move around, yeah)
Never losing or crumbling; maintaining resilience.
We stay up when the whole world lets us down
Enduring and staying positive despite global letdowns.
Soothe it again with the sound (yeah), watch us move around
Finding comfort in sound, persisting, and moving.
We stay up when the whole world lets us down
Persisting through global disappointments without giving in.
We never lose, never crumble, move around
Maintaining resilience, never faltering, and moving forward.
We stay up when the whole world lets us down
Staying up despite the world's letdowns, finding solace in sound.
Soothe it again with the sound, watch us move around
Reiterating the comfort found in sound while moving confidently.
