Intro:

I been down before, but I keep climbing more

Cus I been searching for

A life that I’ll adore

Won’t hit the floor, now


[Verse: Young L3X]

I got homies in the ghetto that’s trynna make a living

Shots echo in the hood, from them boys making killings

Searching for the good, for a life that fulfilling

We hurting in our soul we forgetting that we living

I want a pot of gold, to bring me good feelings

I’m gonna do better hope my karma is forgiven

My chakras needed rising, like dishes in the kitchen

My father had addictions, he tried to keep them hidden

They told us we couldn’t shine, that we couldn’t win

I had to bet on myself, got the strength from within

They trynna keep us all blind and drown us in sin

I waved farewell to bad, now let the journey begin


[Pre-Hook: Young L3X]

I been down before

But I’m not gonna fall no more

I’m not gonna fall no more

Been down before

But I’m not gonna fall no more

No more, no more

Chorus:

They don’t ever love you when you down

They don’t pick you up from the ground

They don’t really love you when you down

So you gotta pick yourself up from the ground

I been down before (pick me up)

But I keep climbing more (pick me up)

Cus I been searching for (pick me up)

A life that I’ll adore

Won’t hit the floor, now


[Verse: Young L3X]

I been living with a vision of the fame and riches

Making right decisions, as I’m dodging all the prisons

Never ever thought of sinning. Just wanted something different

Growing up in the slums, giving crumbs no assistance

Where death is expected by the age of twenty-one

I was living reckless; I was acting young and dumb

Now I work relentless I’m trynna shine like the sun

Ima build like Tetris, Ima cry when it comes

Nah they don’t ever love when you down They don’t wanna see you Bounce back from the ground (Pick Me Up) Nah they don’t ever love when you down But I won’t quit, I won’t throw in the towel


[Pre-Hook: Young L3X]

I been down before

But I’m not gonna fall no more

I’m not gonna fall no more

Been down before

But I’m not gonna fall no more

No more, no more

Chorus:

They don’t ever love you when you down

They don’t pick you up from the ground

They don’t really love you when you down

So you gotta pick yourself up from the ground

I been down before (pick me up)

But I keep climbing more (pick me up)

Cus I been searching for (pick me up)

A life that I’ll adore

Won’t hit the floor, now
