Things Are Looking Up Lyrics - Self Explanatory - Classified

(Intro: Classified - talking) 

Yo C, give me a little bass 

(Things are looking up, things are looking up...) 

Put in some bass, give me the keys 

Just give me some feel good music 

I need something to cheer me up 

Something to put a smile on my face 

(Verse 1: Classified) 

Look, I'm hangin by the end of my rope 

Feelin defensive and broke, with no intention to cope 

When the weather is cold and the adrenaline flows 

And everything is lookin down (hey!), there's no mention of hope (ho!) 

It's hard to get away, so we tend to be prone 

And the world seems depressed, so when your in Rome, I guess 

I gotta keep the engine afloat 

And when the water leaks in, don't abandon the boat 

And yes, soon the depression will fold 

It's a battle and ya gotta choose your weapon to hold (ha) 

I figured that we've learned from the lessons of old 

It ain't over 'til we meet up at the end of the road 

Yeah we destined to grow, so remember control 

A bit of patience can work as a friend or a foe 

I'm lettin it out, so I don't bottle it in 

I'm puttin up, things are looking down, no not again

(Verse 2: Chad Hatcher) 

I've seen the sun come up today 

It will probably change to rain or something 

It's hard to keep a smile on my face sometimes 

I know that we can find a way 

To forget those little things that stop us 

And push on through the rain and the sun will shine 

'Cause hope will only get you so far 

Have a plan and know where your friends are 

If you leave your town just to find your place 

And run from things you find you can't escape 

You can find what it is you see 

Take it day by day, take it week by week 

Just push on 'cause when things get rough 

No head down, things are looking up (things are looking up...)

(Chorus: Chad Hatcher - w/ ad libs) 

I gotta hold on for one more day 

I gotta hold on for one more day 

I gotta hold on for one more day 

And I gotta push on 'cause when things get tough 

No head down, things are looking up 

(Verse 3: Classified) 

Yeah, we do that feel good music 

So feel good to it, it's the fuel to get through it 

Problems Houston but we are only human 

So air out and deal with the heat when it's humid (yeah) 

I'm lost on a path that is mapped out (ha) 

On the mat, thinkin maybe I should tap out (yeah) 

But in time the anxiety will pass slow 

I use to worry but now it makes me laugh though (huh) 

Fuck it I'll be blunt 

I'm sure we all thought about suicide once 

I know I did but I never made the cut 

I guess I never had the guts or wasn't selfish enough 

We push on every day that's just how life is 

Until things are looking up like gas prices 

It's ironic, the irony is clever 

But once you hit the bottom it can only get better 

(Verse 4: Chad Hatcher) 

I know that there will be a day 

Or two that come as a surprise 

But things will seem way to, good to be true 

I just know there's another way 

To clear a path through all that stops you 

With nothin in the way, there's nothin to lose 

I don't know what it is these days 

I seem to spend them in a daze 

I got plans that are hard to keep 

And lately man, well I don't get no sleep 

I can find everything I need 

Take it day by day, take it week by week 

Have a drink, maybe have a puff 

And don't look down, things are looking up 

(Chorus: w/ ad libs until the end)
