Pick Me Up
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
