I Am a Tree - Imani Coppola

There’s a tree in the city, it ain’t lookin' pretty

Blessed with stress, smog clogging feelin' shitty

There’s a river on the highway, things ain’t goin' my way

Turn around, go away, come again another day

To the bed I go, stumble to and fro

I’m tired from another day of lookin' for my glow

It’s hard to get up, you can say I’m fed up

But one things for certain, yo I gotta keep my head up

Keep your head up

Keep my head up

Keep your head up

Keep my head up

Keep your head up girl

Keep your head up

The sun ain’t hard to see

Just turn off your TV

Everything around you

Is just part of every other thing, I’m a tree

Why you gotta do what you do

So why you gotta tell me how to be gee, make me feel like you do

I’m tried of messing around it’s time to let these people know

A tree in the city, it needs somewhere to grow

River on the highway, I’ve never seen a grayer day

It’s sad, it’s crappy, it needs somewhere to play

As for me, I’ll sit under the tree

'Cuz there ain’t no better place to be

Keep your head up

Keep my head up

Keep your head up

Keep my head up

Keep your head up girl

Keep your head up

The sun ain’t hard to see

Just turn off your TV

Everything around you

Is just part of every other thing, I’m a tree

And yo

Why the freak are y’all staring at me?

I’m a tree

Now yo, why the freak?!

I’m a tree

(No you’re not)

I’m a tree!

(Stop lying!)

Keep your head up

Keep my head up

Keep your head up

Keep my head up

Keep your head up girl

Keep your head up

Keep your head up

Keep my head up

Keep your head up

Keep my head up

Keep your head up girl

Keep your head up

The sun ain’t hard to see

Just turn off your TV

Everything around you

Is just part of every other thing, I’m a tree

I’m a tree
