Heights
Verse 1
A lot of people speaking my name, I feel these dark clouds hover as they turn in to rain but why just complain?
I came in to start making change
I look around how the faces have changed
See nothing's the same
I guess we're all to blame
How can I say that? because i know
Everybody wants to win in this awkward game
But who convinced us that we all should play?
And what do we gain? The questions that I ask myself everyday
Suicide is that the price of fame?
The reason half these pop stars fade away?
Or can it be that merely just the measure of pain
Got me tryna stay sharpe like razor blades
I want a girl to save me like amazing grace
When I look in to her eyes, I fade away
Make my world stop keep it from changing pace
And be the light to my tunnel, help me find my way

Story of my life trying to reach those heights
In this broken industry, needs to be my time (2x)
Verse 2
I see decisions that I make like making memories
No point regretting. Spending life just reminiscing
I guarantee all the time you spend looking back
Won't bring you closer to anything that you were missing
So I just press on life is like a rose
But they want to k** the beast like guaston
Verbally and mental so forget it i will put a vest on
But don't try complain when you get stepped on
I've left friends behind, they didn't have the vision
Which was ironic cuz they're life was watching television
I got the message loud and clear heard the sneak dissing
You couldn't wear my shoes kinda like your feet were missing
I was the broke friend always getting hand me downs
Now I'm kinda nice everybody's wanting hand me outs
To my real brothers don't need to shout you out
Cuz I know your there anytime that I come around

Verse 3
Say you know love, tell me bout it all
Do you want me to feel it or you just want to watch me fall
I find it hard to trust ye this I know
But to start to walk first we've got to learn to crawl
I feel pain just tryna stop the drama
But it's me against the world like a shark vs the Spanish Armada
Get myself across on a track you fell off of
See I live for today but still plan for tomorrow
Sometime I feel I see more with my eyes closed
As I journey on this high road
It feels like man come out there way just so they can step on my toes
Thinking that will stop my growth
But if anything it helps to keep me grounded
Let's me know who exactly is around me
And if you experience my boundaries
I'm sorry but if you ain't my dawg don't hound me
