Cope
Written and composed by ZeaLouS1
Get up…GET UP…What the hell are you doing on the ground?
Leave me alone…just go away…
Go away?…heh…GO AWAY?!?
Are you serious? Pick up your damn face,
Layin’ in your own tears like you lost a race,
One little incident and now your world’s dead?
Man, you never seem to calm down and use your head.
Now you wanna curl up and drown in your pity?
What happened to the tough guy reppin’ Tri-City?
Wanna dig deeper? I was going to anyways,
How many times in your life has this scenario played?
So your conversation went a little sour,
Now you’re in your room, cried for over half an hour,
You’re so weak, Pop’s right, your heart was never tested,
You’re too scared to be alone in life, I just confessed it
(…shut your mouth…) YOU SHUT UP, you just need to listen to me,
If you think you’re so bad then come do something to me,
That’s what I thought, that’s your problem from the start,
That’s what happens when you try to think with your heart
I gotta get up, I can’t stay down,
For all the people who would count on me now,
There ain’t time to fall back and retreat,
I gotta stand up, gotta make it to my feet
I gotta push through the pain and the agony,
Smile on my face, try to hold back insanity,
One day, I’ll be there with you,
But I can’t stop here, there’s still much to do
You always smile all the time, dying inside,
You are just a little boy with nowhere to hide,
(…please…) That’s right, find your dad, go and run,
(…stop…) How the hell did you become the ZeaLouS1?
What about your family? Your baby cousins?
Are you really working or working on really buzzin’?
When’s the last time you saw your little sister?
Does she even know that you love her and you missed her? (…I’m sorry…)
Are you sad? All the pressure in your brain?
Stressed out, hurt, giving in to all the pain?
Thinkin’ all these bills that you’re paying ain’t common?
Thinkin’ you’re the only one who lives on Top Ramen? (…please…)
Suck it up boy, you’re being such a sissy,
All of this just because you thought she got pissy?
Your chink in the armor, Achilles heel,
You give away your heart so easily it loses appeal
I gotta get up, I can’t stay down,
For all the people who would count on me now,
There ain’t time to fall back and retreat,
I gotta stand up, gotta make it to my feet
I gotta push through the pain and the agony,
Smile on my face, try to hold back insanity,
One day, I’ll be there with you,
But I can’t stop here, there’s still much to do
Now that we’re both here stirring the pot,
You need to focus on the prize and not screw up the plot,
I know you thought that it all just fell to the floor,
Even if it did you know we’ve gotten up before
Don’t be sore, there’s still a lot of work to do,
And there is still lots of eyes looking up to you,
And when you’re lookin’ back they need to know you’re here,
They’re all counting on you so hide away your tears,
Get up now, one leg then the other,
That’s right now smile for your mother,
You know she ain’t too far from her boy,
Still pulling strings for her pride and her joy, (…Mommy…)
Shake it off, just a bump in the road,
Lookin’ down the way you still got a ways to go,
We’ll be here again but it breaks down the same,
Love with your heart but think with your brain
I gotta get up, I can’t stay down,
For all the people who would count on me now,
There ain’t time to fall back and retreat,
I gotta stand up, gotta make it to my feet
I gotta push through the pain and the agony,
Smile on my face, try to hold back insanity,
One day, I’ll be there with you,
But I can’t stop here, there’s still much to do
