[Verse 1]
Im just living in an upstairs apartment/
So please take your shoes off cause I got carpet/
Sorry for the smell I haven't taken out the garbage/
Im too busy trying to become a hip hop artist/
Yeah, im kind of a rap-oholic/
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 don't 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 can't 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 can't 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 can't 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 can't 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 don't 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 that's all
