Ivan B - Don't Look Down Lyrics






I'm scared I'm wasting my time
Scared I'm losing control of my life
I'm scared of commitment of calling anything mine
I would be lying if I told you, "I'm fine"
Serving these tables to put some food in my stomach
I'm tired of seeing my mom and say "Don't worry, it's coming"
My heart is racing, I'm running to anything more than nothing
Drowning in debt and I'm trying to pull us above it
Tell me everything will be okay
Tell me why does everybody got to fade away
Am I crossing your mind? 'Cause you been all up in mine
But if I saw you, I don't know what I would say
Instead of being together, I need to get it together
Instead of writing these letters, I want to live to remember
Am I better from the past? Yeah, I wonder what I'll know
Haunted by a dream is when you really let it go
I guess things happen for a reason
But I'ma never leave anything at chance
At first glance I'm looking for God's hands
The Devil's looking at me like, "Homie, come dance"
My grandma's getting sicker, I'm never there when I can be
See, my brother feeling lost, I guess it runs in the family
People telling me this music should be a plan B
How could you judge me if you don't understand me?
No breaks, one-twenty goin' in
Destiny's calling, I'm like, "Baby, come on in"
Right now it feels like do-or-die, everyday it's, "Who am I?"
You call it nine-to-five, man, I call it suicide
I see what they can't see, this is all that I can be
Rather be homeless and broke than be labeled as "happy"
They don't understand me, 'cause no one can stand me
It's always the outsiders who end up outstanding

I lost a hundred dollars on a bet
It's not a lot of money, but it said a lot about me
In the moment, guess I didn't understand it
When nothing is certain, don't ever take it for granted
Pride is a poison that infested our planet
Greed is okay, well, that's the way that they brand it
Our view of everything is such a mess
Having less than we deserve is our perception of happiness
What am I supposed to do?
They say, "Follow the steps, stick to the guidelines"
If I listen to that, I'm just a kid on the sideline
What's in your eyes? I don't care 'bout your eyeline
Never cared about all of that
Money got people snappin' for their quarter back
If I get it, I'ma give it back
I feel like happiness is something everybody should have

But we are who we are
I've been lost in the dark, while I've been shooting for stars
Looking for love, like is it really that hard?
Or just have someone who's there when it's all falling apart
But every scar only makes your heart stronger
Hold on, just fight a little longer
I ponder these lines while mopping floors every night
That's when you feel the fatigue and all your hunger
It's been killing me, keep going what they're telling me
More regrets than memories, sometimes you gotta let it be
The past ain't ahead of me, I got to give my best
How do I make change if I don't give you my two cents?
I look around, I see the dying of youth
While you're picking up a bottle, let me pour you the truth
I used to be like all of you, like you got nothing to lose
Nobody want a commitment when everybody's been used
Step in my conscience, my heart is the pilot
The past is behind you, but lately I've been behind it
I'm finding I've been placed in happiness in people who leave
And they love it when you're broken, hate you when you achieve
It's like I can never be me, the world is just a routine
Telling you how to live and the certain value it brings
Like rings, summer flings, things ain't what they seem
So, don't you ever buy the happiness they sell on the screen
'Cause happiness ain't a store bought can
And love isn't found in just a one-night dance
I'm looking at the sky like, "Give me one more chance"
I'm tired of sitting in my room like I know I can
Nothing's done until you do it, just look at what I'm pursuing
To die like what you're doing, my girl is 'cause of my music
It was lose her or lose it, my heart's in the music
If I didn't, I'd be dead, so I went and I choose it
Trying to figure it out, and this ain't even about us
I'm trying to be something more, so that my kids can be proud of
I'm trying to show everybody there's not much worth in these dollars
Out here making a difference, don't you give up
Every line that I'm writing is just for you to get up
Love is barely an offer, yeah, we don't give it enough
Man, what's the point of the top if nobody wants to look up?

So, look up, look up
Don't look down
Look up, look up
Don't look down
Don't look down

    I was in a relationship for 6 years.. we were engaged and I lost him when I found out I was pregnant with our first baby! He fell off a ladder at work and never came home. I still have my beautifull daughter who is now four, I will never find another love! I’m lost without him! Everyone thinks it gets easier but it doesn’t. I think about him everyday. And I see his eyes in my daughter! I still send a card to his grave every two weeks to ask for him to come home to me but it won’t happen! My story is hidden and I hope everyone who sees this goes home to there partner and hugs them super tight. Life is too short enjoy the good before it’s too late :( ❤️

    i love ur lyrics

  61. A.... A....

    This song helps me so much.....

  62. D.... A....

    In the reality of this, the sad thing is that this type of mind frame becomes a brand in itself. However, the world truly is in short supply of it and to honestly think in this manner speaks volumes. Ivan addresses issues in this song I think about on a daily. Almost anyone these days will allow the trend to define, shape, and brand them. "For money anyone will snap for the quarter back".

  63. M.... B....

    Really enjoy listening to Ivan b . Lyrics are meaningful, passionate , feel them.... XXX

  64. S.... J....

    rather be homeless and broke than be labeled as happy!

    Sometimes it's so hard to see that there is an up to look up to.. I dream of a better day... A day that my sons and I really feel free.. life can be so unfair.. how did the world get so blind .. were the abusive men get no punishment... As a victim and as a mother of two sons we lived threw so many years of abuse we are not believed or shown any kind of help that actually makes a difference... I look up for hope that someone somewhere out their sees are truth because life is too short...I don't want to look down anymore ... My son's deserve better then that ..now I know why victims never come out...this is my life....

  75. Y.... ....

    Perfect parteners...

    Colab time! Give it to us! Please!

  76. A.... Y....

    I relate so much to this song! Story of me: Grow up in a small town, when I was only 11 my best friend had to move only recently this year she finally started texting me again. My purpose in life to make everyone feel better about themselves knowing how sucky depression and everything can be. I lost my gf April 27th 2018, I have no friends at school. Spend most my life with my deep thoughts left inside me. I have an interest in any type of music and visiting the world. You see I don't really have much too say, Some say I'm scared of love but really I just find people don't have interest in talking to me because I am very shy. The people that I have in my life I am very happy for and those that I meet I hope they stick by my side. I never really talked about myself till right now so this be my first time telling about my life. I have 2 white cats and 1 dog and I enjoy trying out new things. My fav thing in life is talking to new people, I recently got interested in helping people feel better since I never had the chance to help myself re heal. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life till I got introduced to music and found myself feeling brand new the next day. But that never really got me far has it, I have high hopes but not much friends too show me the way through life! I barely have anyone who text me anymore big support if you sub to my channel that would mean a lot too me. I lost many animals and friends in my life and hope one day the world will change.
