Stay Up Stay Lifted - Original Collab with DPG35000

Hello all -

Here's a new hip hop collaboration with my boy DPG35000. We've been wanting to do something for a long time now, and we finally finished our track.

It's called "Stay Up, Stay Lifted." I wrote the hook and the music and DPG did the verses. We like it a lot, and hope you do too.

As always, thanks for the support and encouragement.

Lyrics:

Stay Up, Stay Lifted
Copyright 2009 Narciso Lobo and Dan Gallagher

Stay up, stay lifted, stay up, stay lifted

Verse 1:
I saw this picture of a tree that was dead to most eyes
There was no leaves, no green seeming sad as it died
It was strong at the stem, yet weak at the branch
Sort of a symbol of my life to me as I glanced
I saw that tree all alone in the cold of November
And I realized more, it's a metaphor of life's adventures
There's twists and turns and burns in each direction
Reflecting only on depressing thoughts won't correct things
We, as a people, need a change
Relieving our brains of evil and pain that seems to keep us in chains
It's like the reason it rains, that tree I explained?
Wasn't dead at all, it was fall, and spring will relieve its strain
Buds will sprout like the birth of a child
Mother earth reborn like evolution of styles
Green will be as light will shine
What was dead now lives amongst the midst of the climb

Hook:
If I could tell myself tomorrow
What I could tell myself today
To keep it in my heart and never forget it
Remember to breathe and just be
And even when nobody's around to see
Be good to yourself 'cause you're a much better person than you think
Some days are filled with sorrow
Some days are filled with pain
Some days never start, some are never-ending
I'm gonna always be your boy
Whether there's despair or joy
But above all else, remember these words I sing -

Stay up, stay lifted, stay up, stay lifted

Verse 2:
It's like every time I sit down to try to write these lines
Patiently awaiting inspiration to define in rhyme
I find myself peering deeper within my inner core
A desolate place awaits sometimes until I find the door
We all possess the key to unlock the things that fault us
But some often choose this option and sweat the small stuff
Some days are filled with sorrow and some with pain
Just refrain from bad thoughts like hate guilt and shame
Aiming for a positive outlook equals success
No matter your debt status or financial mess
Its all irrelevant, fellowship with friends and family
Is what's important in this life, I hope y'all understand me
You see me and Seeso, we're boys and we never met
But you can bet if he's in Boston, and he needs a friend
He can hit me up, and I'll be there with the quickness
STAY UP AND STAY LIFTED

Hook:
If I could tell myself tomorrow
What I could tell myself today
To keep it in my heart and never forget it
Remember to breathe and just be
And even when nobody's around to see
Be good to yourself 'cause you're a much better person than you think
Some days are filled with sorrow
Some days are filled with pain
Some days never start, some are never-ending
I'm gonna always be your boy
Whether there's despair or joy
But above all else, remember these words I sing -

Stay up, stay lifted, stay up, stay lifted

@seeso Again thanx for this song. It has kept me on the right path sincemy By-Pass surgery in 2010. I still have rough days and it helps me so much to get thru them. I don't know if anyone gets what the song means, I guess it could have different meanings for different people though. Anyway, thank you so much for the inspiration.

I found this song as backround music for a bypass patient's video. I fell in love with it right away. I had bypass surgery on April 27th,2010 and am glad to report that I have been at my goal weight and even lower since May 24th,2011!! This song helped me get through alot of rough days after my surgery,thanks so much for posting this great song!!!!
