Down For a While

Everyday I wake up, knowin' it's a better day
You probably wouldn't believe all of the things I overcame
I was down for a while
It's so lonely when it rains
(What, what?)
I made up in my mind that I don't wanna feel the pain

That's why everyday I wake up, knowing it's a better day
Probably won't believe all of the things I overcame
I was down for a while
I haven't been down for a while

(Yeah)

I had my back against the wall
Not so, wasn't long
I was going through it all
Didn't then, nobody know
Momma said, "Keep spirits high, never fall for the bad vibes, people gon' try to bring you down, but you can't let them bring you down."

Oh, yeah

Next to this, I wish I had my friend with me
(Yeah, yeah)
The only person that can understand me
(Yeah)
If I could bring him back today, I'd tell him everything he can be
Protect him from who took advantage

Everyday I wake up, knowin' it's a better day
(Yeah)
You probably wouldn't believe all of the things I overcame
I was down for a while
(What?)
It's so lonely when it rains
I made up in my mind that I don't wanna feel the pain

That's why everyday I wake up, knowing it's a better day
Probably won't believe all of the things I overcame
I was down for a while
I haven't been down for a while

(Yeah)

Sometimes I didn't fit in
Because I stood out
They would make me feel bad for
Me just being myself
Momma said, " You can never fail, long as you love yourself. They can't low your vibe, long as you stay flyin' high."

I haven't been down for a while

What's up guys?
It's Mark here
I know you guys are probably having some bad days, but just know that it always gets better
You have to get up, and make it a good day, and smile, and help others
Just look forward to it, and stay positive
Love you guys!
