UP

about

This song is a reaction to being told that your signature, and what makes you different and interesting, is not enough. It is about the status quo, and about working around the norm. But in the reaction, the one being told they aren’t enough simply answers, “I’m going up.” Realizing their own resilience and meaning lies in the things that make them unique and human.

lyrics

Up

I hard woman
I cold hand
I thick body
I chosen

It’s hard for the girl with the wandering eye
It’s hard for the girl when you can’t her high
It’s hard for the girl with the wandering eye
can’t get high
can’t get high

I’m goin up
up
up
up
to the top cuz the bottom never suited me
I’m goin’
up
up
up
up
to the top cuz the bottom don’t fuck with me
I said
I don’t want to be the one to break the news to you
I don’t want to be the one to tell you know
and I don’t want to be the one to let it die babe
but I was never planning on sticking around

You check figures
You shake hands
You blow smoke
You broken

It’s hard for the girl with the wandering eye
It’s hard for the girl when you can’t her high
It’s hard for the girl with the wandering eye
can’t get high
can’t get high

I’m goin up
up
up
up
to the top cuz the bottom never suited me
I’m goin’
up
up
up
up
to the top cuz the bottom don’t fuck with me
I said
I don’t want to be the one to break the news to you
I don’t want to be the one to tell you know
and I don’t want to be the one to let it die babe
but I was never planning on sticking around

They say I’m not the type of lady
That they’re thirsty for
maybe if the world was feelin’ faint
And I could go for miles about the ways I’m not the one
But those miles fade and disappear today
Today

I’m goin up
up
up
up
to the top cuz the bottom never suited me
I’m goin’
up
up
up
up
to the top cuz the bottom don’t fuck with me
I said
I don’t want to be the one to break the news to you
I don’t want to be the one to tell you know
and I don’t want to be the one to let it die babe
but I was never planning on sticking around
