HOOK:
You're high upon the tower
Now don't look down
I will be okay here on the ground
And you can always call
To say hello from time to time
When you're no longer mine
VERSE 1:
As a child I climbed trees and flew kites
I played and lived I was driven , motivated & inspired
But as a man , I became a witness to destruction
Failure is not an option and success is scripted
If I fail at this life, People would said “I knew he wouldn't
Make it ” Should I succeed? They will still say
“I knew he would make it ”so I'm afraid, the double standards,double talk and hypocrisy that govern us
So i refuse to be my old version! i refuse to look into the mirror everyday and see the same person i saw yesterday!
I'm a living proof I exposed myself to the possibility of failure to achieve the greatest results
This is for the homeless roaming on the street
This is for the hopeless trying get up on their feet
This is broken home deeper than rap music
This is for the shattered hearts no lights ever revealed
This is for my family who has been splits apart , Emma and Jeanine I still got you in my heart tell daddy regardless the distance I still care happiness was limited living among hate I could not bare
HOOK :
You're high upon the tower
Now don't look down
I will be okay here on the ground
And you can always call
To say hello from time to time
When you're no longer mine
VERSE 2 :
You can call it's okay it alright we brothers
Let's move on na carry on Reality hit us
The spirit of my family has been teared apart
All the love is gone man I grew up with the bleeding heart
Drinking here, smoking there, my life is hard to share
Single mom ,rich dad a self made millionaire
Cold night and broken soul , thoughts of suicide
But in my eyes I realized I'll be criticized
What's life without fatherhood affection
Ten fingers on the bible this my true confession
The truth I hold took years to unfold locked up and never told tongue against my chest, you can imagine the rest
But this is the past
HOOK
You're high upon the tower
Now don't look down
I will be okay here on the ground
And you can always call
To say hello from time to time
When you're no longer mine
POST HOOK
I always knew (I always knew) that you would follow your big
Dreams
What I didn't know (I didn't know) is that your dreams never
Did include me
VERSE 3:
Look in my eyes i can tell you have a big dream
Stay focused and never give up you could be the next king
Don't let your dreams remain just dreams
Remember what is born of the mind can easily come to life if you believe
This is for you noella and my familia , I made this for all victims of broken homes
Sometimes we must get hurt in order to grow, we must fail in order to know,sometimes our vision clears after our eyes are washed away with tears
