Get Up Again - Intellectual

[Intro]

They can’t keep us down

Push me to the ground

I’ll get up again, again

They can’t keep us down

Push me to the ground

I’ll get up again, again

Yeah, Sometimes I feel like I can't handle life

And I feel like I strive for too many things

(I'll get up again)

But no matter what comes your way

No matter what life brings

You just gotta pick yourself up and push on

Cause the hard times will pass

And one day you'll look back on it and wonder how you made it past

(I'll get up again)

Just keep your head up cause the clouds are passing

[Chorus]

They can’t keep us down

Push me to the ground

I’ll get up again, again

They can’t keep us down

Push me to the ground

I’ll get up again, again

[Verse 1]

Ease the pain was the inspiration, For this liberation

Lamenting over my mom

Her passing represents the expiration

Desperation keeps me in tact

I’m dropping bombs on a generation

Spreading information facts

I’m Slim when he dismembered his family member in December

I remember when the ember burned

And the flame returned

Concerned with the future because it’s unconfirmed

But we all gotta learn

To push it to the back of our mind

And deal with our pride

But sometimes we gotta let it out and cry

I feel like I died inside

With ever passing lie that slid by

We grew apart and now I am red-eyed

And damn man time flies

These eyes have fought to many times

That I question if I’m wise

Because I believed them lies

But I won’t next time

I’ll just spit a line a slide by

Dip through and shine

It’s our time to rise

[Chorus]

They can’t keep us down

Push me to the ground

I’ll get up again, again

They can’t keep us down

Push me to the ground

I’ll get up again, again

[Verse 2]

Break it down it gets slower now

The tempo didn’t change

And i know it sounds strange

I just had to rearrange the beat

Now I got you noddin' up and down from your head to your feet

C'mon now

I don’t have a care in the world

Only smokin' pearls till I give my head the swirls

I just wanna find a girl but the world knows

The older that I grow there can only be pros

Now I gravitate towards the one with the personality but originally I never wanted

Or plotted on taking or faking anyone out

I just wanted to be the one that no one would ever doubt

So now i’m looking forward to moving on with my life

It’s easy to lose time

It’s easy to gain crime

But in the midst of all this pain and strife

All that i ever wanted to do was get it right

But-

[Chorus]

They can’t keep us down

Push me to the ground

I’ll get up again, again

They can’t keep us down

Push me to the ground

I’ll get up again, again

[Verse 3]

They can’t keep us down and I know this to be true

Everyone that I know has been through some shit too

We better pick ourselves up before we turn blue

And look to each other cause all we got is the crew

Now I better take some time so that I may write a line

To my mom in heaven for all of her great time

I’m glad that I had her when she was in her prime

Just know that everything can change all at one time

So this is an apology to all I have wronged

You guys made me feel at home where i belonged

And even though sometimes I may not seem strong

Just know you made me a better person all along

And with these closing statements I would like to address

Anyone who’s ever been affected by the process

That I chose in order for me to progress

Sometimes I just have a little to much excess

[Chorus]

They can’t keep us down

Push me to the ground

I’ll get up again, again

They can’t keep us down

Push me to the ground

I’ll get up again, again

[Outro]

They can’t keep us down

Push me to the ground

I’ll get up again, again
