Saba on "Westside Bound" (July 15, 2014)

Artist: Saba Song: Westside Bound Released: July 15, 2014

Lyric:

Grabbing that knife you can be living and never get right If you looking down how you put up a fight? Pick your head up never let up never said once it was gon’ be easy

Context (via Genius):

Saba encourages people to fight through their problems. Everyone has problems, and they can be difficult to get through, but Saba tells everyone to keep their head up and look on the bright side of things.

The “fight” in these lines may refer to an actual fight, in which someone brought a knife, or the fight through one’s struggles. If you hone in on the negative aspects of life, you’ll never be able to push through your struggles.
