This song is from his second solo album titled “Rough Water”. This is a great uplifting song that has great lyrics and an awesome music. This is a song that will surely raise your spirits when you are feeling down. I like many aspects of this song, like the piano going in the background, which brings me to the feeling of listening to the music of “Can’t Hold Us”.
The rap lyrics are great to listen to and the rhymes are great.
I like how the filter is used in the prechorus and double vocals used in the chorus. Tell me what you think of this song. Comment below

Dm Gm F The hard work payed off, don't it? F Plus it feel good when you can say you own it Dm Gm F No rent, lease, loan or a mortgage F That generator money, no shortage [Pre-Chorus] Bb He plucked feather from his back Bb And watched his bottom limbs, bend forward Dm Toward something more, he wasn't sure Bb He plucked feather from his back Bb And watched his bottom limbs, bend forward A Toward something more [CHORUS x2] Dm Gm You gotta keep on keeping on F Even with the feeling F That you're gonna keep losing Dm Gm You gotta come back strong F Oh Oh
