Higher You Get
Second I get it
Going right back home to the city
That made me
Rather it being my home
Than a place that just ain't me
Growing up knowing
I couldn't let everyone talking
Phase me
Had to slow down
Cause the higher you get
The decisions get hasty
Gotta keep my head above the water
No
Gotta keep my mind
All through the highs and lows
Holding onto what I believe
I know
Hoping I never break or
Fold under pressure
I'm building a life
I know I'm the man
I couldn't wait for the time to be right
No I had to make due
With a dream that I had
Losing my mind to this sh**
I've been down bad
Let nobody know I can't manage
Knowing damn well I ain't plan this
Hoping that all of the damage
Hurt a lil less in a mansion
Yuh
Like hiding the truth
Just to get you to listen to me
It's the ones I grew up with
That's acting like strangers to me
Yeah
Ignoring the fact
I'm at war with myself in the deep
Thought that forgiving these others
Brought peace to my life
Gave them control over me
Can't let them have it
I gave them control of the life
I've been dying to live
Lately been asking
How I been down
I've been waiting my whole life
For this
The more time that passes
The lower I go
Hoping the lowest I hit
Done with the acting
The farther we go
Promise the realer it gets
Been tryna hide my pain
Yuh
They take me out my way
Yuh
Hard not to feel ashamed
Yuh
But things don't feel the same
Been tryna hide my pain
Yuh
They take me out my way
Yuh
Hard not to feel ashamed
Yuh
But things don't feel the same
Second I get it
Going right back home to the city
That made me
Rather it being my home
Than a place that just ain't me
Growing up knowing
I couldn't let everyone talking
Phase me
Had to slow down
Cause the higher you get
The decisions get hasty
Gotta keep my head above the water
No
Gotta keep my mind
All through the highs and lows
Holding onto what I believe
I know
Hoping I never break or
Fold
Been tryna hide my pain
Yuh
They take me out my way
Yuh
Hard not to feel ashamed
Yuh
But things don't feel the same
Been tryna hide my pain
Yuh
They take me out my way
Yuh
Hard not to feel ashamed
Yuh
But things don't feel the same
Going right back home to the city
That made me
Rather it being my home
Than a place that just ain't me
Growing up knowing
