HEADHIGH
Doja Cat Lyrics

Never hold my head high
I struggle to maintain a sense of pride and confidence.

Can you feel the head high?
Do you experience the same uplifting sense of confidence?

Never hold my head high
It's a challenge for me to project self-assurance.

Can you feel the head high?
Are you able to resonate with this feeling of pride when it exists?

Never hold my head high
I find it difficult to elevate my self-esteem.

Can you feel the head high?
Is the sensation of increased confidence something you relate to?

Never hold my head high
I constantly feel the weight of my struggles.

Can you feel the head high?
Can you connect with that feeling of fleeting confidence?

I'm so afraid to put you down
I hesitate to criticize you out of fear of causing pain.

But when we're safe we're all allowed
In moments of security, we can express ourselves openly.

And I got a gift, I use my voice
I possess a talent in expressing my thoughts and feelings through music.

But you can't hear amongst the noise
My message often gets drowned out by external distractions.

There's dirt around my neck, I'm blind
I feel burdened by negativity and lack clarity in my situation.

No, I don't have to hear them, why? It's nice
I choose to ignore the negativity because it can be relieving.

I got a mother, y'all got moms
I, like many, have a mother figure providing support.

And they love every fuckin' song
Our mothers appreciate and support our artistic expressions wholeheartedly.

They help me hold my-
They give me strength and support in my challenging journey.

Never hold my head high
Once again, I struggle to find dignity in myself.

Can you feel the head high?
Do you sense that brief surge of self-worth when it comes?

Never hold my head high
The battle for confidence is ongoing.

Can you feel the head high?
Are you familiar with that transient feeling of empowerment?

Never hold my head high
It continues to be difficult for me to stand tall.

Can you feel the head high?
Can you relate to the experience of feeling uplifted?

Never hold my head high
Confidence remains an elusive goal.

Can you feel the head high?
Is the feeling of intermittent pride familiar to you?

Fatherless, I do act so fatherless
I often display traits associated with lacking a father figure.

Except that's not acting, actually, I lack some confidence
This behavior isn't feigned; it's a reflection of my insecurity.

They draggin' my name through the web
People are spreading negative gossip about me online.

They should call me, 'Spider Bitch'
I feel entangled in deceit and drama created by others.

You got no designer, you gotta take care your momma 'nem
You don't have luxury, so you’re focused on supporting your family.

You work 9-5s and you still managing to comment this?
You have a full-time job yet still find the time to criticize others?

Fuck is your problem, bitch?
What’s your issue that leads you to tear others down?

I know you ain't proud of this
I can tell you don't genuinely feel good about your actions.

Deep down you just wish you didn't feel stuck in the life you live
Internally, you’re dissatisfied with your circumstances.

Deep down you got power to change the view they assigned you with
You have the strength to alter how others perceive you.

Lost faith in humanity
I’ve become disillusioned with people and society.

Also, lost the common sense
I’ve abandoned logical reasoning amidst the chaos.

Also, lost the motivation to begin to find this shit
I’ve lost drive to pursue solutions to my struggles.

I won't take it personally, 'cause I get addicted as well
I try not to take harshness to heart because I also face my own battles.

Had to wish enemies well
I've learned to let go of negativity by hoping for the best for my adversaries.

That's how the internet feel
This reflects the general sentiment prevalent in the online world.

Herd to hold my
It’s challenging to maintain my self-esteem amidst this environment.

Never hold my head high
Again, the difficulty in upholding my self-worth is highlighted.

Can you feel the head high?
Do you understand the fleeting moments of confidence I experience?

Never hold my head high
Continuously feeling weighed down by my circumstances.

Can you feel the head high?
Can you relate to that momentary bounce of self-esteem?

Never hold my head high
The struggle for self-acceptance remains relentless.

Can you feel the head high?
Is this ephemeral high something you've felt as well?

Never hold my head high
The cycle of battling self-doubt continues.

Can you feel the head high?
Are you aware of that fleeting sense of pride that we all chase?
