Intro:
(yeahhhhh)
I mean...once we get to this point
Its like we're just living our emotions...
Lisa, I need you to talk to them....
Chorus:
I wanna be, on that higher ground
Gonna make it despite myself (x2)
Verse 1:
As a young kid moving through a quick life
Had me going down the street taking wrong rights
Had me staring out the window looking for the light
But whenever I looked, all I ever seen was night
So I evaporated, I made myself scarce
Come inside my home, and all you'll see is broken pairs
Bad vision, so I never even seen fair
Im living so circle, I need my life squared
So im picking up the pen
Got me wondering if the bad joke will ever end
Will I ever make it, mean I know I got the heart
I've been racing to long, I guess im looking for the start
Or looking for the one, but no one ever found
Im tryna throw my love, but tripping on the mound
Now put your lighters in the air
We aiming for the top, and I know we'll make it there (yeah)
Chorus
Verse 2:
May 30, 2009
Looking to the sky, why'd my coach have to die
While I really re-think
Why'd my cousin take his life?
At any given night for the same sh** I might
I feel it deep down, and I ain't even dropped
Im hurting every day, so I will never stop
And now I wonder what is fate
I know who I am meant to be, but all I hear is hate
And I gotta say it mother, I love you more
I can't wait to show you, for what I got in store
Cause I done worked hard, but you been my support
Cause I could drop 30, but not without a court
So let me bring us to the life
Ima keep on going up, and it doesnt matter height
But we are close, better yet we are approaching
J. Lye, just living your emotions
Chorus
Verse 3 (Talking):
It's something that people don't understand all the time..
The amount of pain that i've felt in my life, and the amount of pain that I feel everyday is what makes me work so hard..
One thing my coach once told me..
Is hard work beats talent, when talent fails to work hard...
That's exactly why I named this mixtape compete until success...
Because this is everything i've ever worked for...
And I swear to god I'mma fight until the d**h of me...
And I want to thank every single person out there that's listening to this mixtape, thats listening to this song right now..
Because that means you believe in me..
And I promise I'm not gonna let you down..
Thank you
Chorus
