There's a tree in the city, it ain't lookin' pretty
Blessed with stress, smog clogging feelin' shitty
There's a river on the highway, things ain't goin' my way
Turn around, go away, come again another dayTo the bed I go, stumble to and fro
I'm tired from another day of lookin' for my glow
It's hard to get up, you can say I'm fed up
But one things for certain, yo I gotta keep my head upKeep your head up
Keep my head up
Keep your head up
Keep my head up
Keep your head up girl
Keep your head upKeep your head up
Keep my head up
Keep your head up
Keep my head up
Keep your head up girl
Keep your head upThe sun ain't hard to see
Just turn off your TV
Everything around you
Is just part of every other thing, I'm a treeWhy you gotta do what you do
So why you gotta tell me how to be gee, make me feel like you do
I'm tried of messing around it's time to let these people know
A tree in the city, it needs somewhere to growRiver on the highway, I've never seen a grayer day
It's sad, its crappy, it needs somewhere to play
As for me, I'll sit under the tree
'Cuz there ain't no better place to beKeep your head up
Keep my head up
Keep your head up
Keep my head up
Keep your head up girl
Keep your head upKeep your head up
Keep my head up
Keep your head up
Keep my head up
Keep your head up girl
Keep your head upThe sun ain't hard to see
Just turn off your TV
Everything around you
Is just part of every other thing, I'm a treeAnd yo
Ahat a freak
Are you all staring at me? I'm a tree
Now yo, what a freak
I'm a tree
(No you're not)
I'm a tree
(Stop lying)Keep your head up
Keep my head up
Keep your head up
Keep my head up
Keep your head up girl
keep your head upKeep your head up
Keep my head up
Keep your head up
Keep my head up
Keep your head up girl
keep my head upThe sun ain't hard to see
Just turn off your TV
Everything around you
Is just part of every other thing, I'm a treeThe sun ain't hard to see
Just turn off your TV
Everything around you
Is just part of every other thing, I'm a tree
I'm a tree
