[Intro: Wrekonize]
Yup, I know alot of yall' been wonderin'...
Where is Paradise?
Been thinkin' that too...
But as the years pa** by I started to realize...
It's to be created
There's nobody else that could do it but you
[Verse 1]
Back when I was just a little kid tryna get a grip on this big world, with my fingertips
I was ignorant to the viciousness, of a human being bein' dissonant
Momma always taught me kindness, treat em' just the way you wanna be
Kept my friends coverin' my back, kept my enemies right in front of me
Kept an eye on the prize, eye to the line, nope, I don't wanna drown
Oh it's k**in' me this negativity, and now it's tippin' me I'm goin' down
Somebody help me, please help me
Got no money but I'm feelin' wealthy (Nope.)
No Insurance but I'm feelin' healthy (Nope.)
I'm just tryna play the hand they dealt me (C'mon!)
Few players at the table folded, couple others went to do they own sh**
I don't judge 'em really I still love 'em I just hope they find a world that truly coax them
Cause this rock is beaten' up and broken, by the promises that we've been hopin'
Stay golden, and unfrozen, until we finally get to find the quotient
You've got answers? (You've got answers?)
Well I've got questions (Well I've got questions.)
Is this banter? (Is this banter?)
Or is it Lessons? (I don't know.)
Alot of evil cats runnin' round without a bit tact or discretion
I'm tryna' climb a little higher up to get the blessin's
[Hook]
Everytime I come down, I'm tryna find some high ground
Higher Ground (2x)
Everytime you're around, you make me feel like I'm bound for higher ground
Higher Ground (Higher!)
[Verse 2]
With their views obstructed, seen 'em smilin' but I never trusted
What a way for human beings to function, what f** sh**
To be stuck wit' a bunch of people that we ain't grew up with
Tryin to pretend, that we'll be friends, but they actually speak a different gumption
You've got a phone, dontcha know the code bro? So if you could just reach out once in a while
To get the tone no this ain't a drone blowin' a bunch of smoke out on the river Nile
Man with friends like these I'm glad to have a woman like I do to hold me down
It's her and I, against the tribe, but don't nobody never needed to fit in the crowd
So get comin' out into the vibrant miles of sky we call the higher sound
And find a person you can fly with and keep an eye out for those who circlin' round
And just breathe
Sometimes I bite my lip until it bleeds
See, this is just a message for my inner messes buried underneath the pounds
Seein' all these people know me I'm still lonely homey I'm just here and wonderin' how
And when I'm happy evil thoughts get at me still they pull me out into the deeper shroud
I wanna leave it all behind so when you look you'll find me up on the higher ground
Higher Ground
[Hook]
Everytime I come down, I'm tryna find some high ground
Higher Ground (2x)
Everytime you're around, you make me feel like I'm bound for higher ground
Higher Ground (Higher! (2x))
