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 aint goin' my way

Turn around, go away

Come again another day

To the bed I go

Stumble to and fro

Tired from another day of lookin' for my glow

It's hard to get up

You can say I'm fed up

One things for certain

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

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 aint 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

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, its 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

Keep your head up-keep my head up

Keep your head up-keep my 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



Yo, what a freak

Are you all staring at me? I'm a tree

Yo, what a 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 my head up



The sun aint hard to see

Just turn off your TV

Everything around you is just part of every other thing

I'm a tree

The sun aint 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
