(Pre-Hook) And I just wanna be the one To reach the top before I fall (fall) And I just wanna be the one To get it and have it all (all) (chorus) But I been away to long And I been so gone I am losing my self I have some pain that ain't heal These wounds ain't good for my health I gotta pick myself up and up again And I gotta pick myself up and up again (Verse One) Falling soldiers, bunch of sh** on my shoulders Thought it'll get better as I got older But the world just got colder Heavy like boulders, ima loner No one on my corner, no one on my side Times like this I wonder who is gon ride When the tide gets high and you drowning in pain Liquor ain't doing the same, feels like you're dodging the rain The pain's robbing your sane, you fall and complain See a cuffing with your name, like nothing remains But would you fight when you stumble and let the world defeat you Do you want heaven to great you or the earth to keep you? You only live once, so what are you living for? You only had enough when you can't give anymore (Pre-Hook) And I just wanna be the one To reach the top before I fall (fall) And I just wanna be the one To get it and have it all (all) (chorus) But I been away to long And I been so gone I am losing my self I have some pain that ain't heal These wounds ain't good for my health I gotta pick myself up and up again And I gotta pick myself up and up again (Verse Two) Quit my job now relying on my good karma All these problems could be solved with some new commas Took a risk now I hope its gon pay off I'm off every day but still won't take a day off Grinding like my life is on the line Shot clock losing time, too much sh** on my mind I stress too much and I ain't blessed enough Out of touch with my old friends New relationships seem shorter than slogans Do you cry tears of pain? Or tears of joy? Tears of joy don't exist for this boy Living in a world that either make you or destroy So I keep my head up as I try to block the noise (Pre-Hook) And I just wanna be the one To reach the top before I fall (fall) And I just wanna be the one To get it and have it all (all) (chorus) But I been away to long And I been so gone I am losing my self I have some pain that ain't heal These wounds ain't good for my health I gotta pick myself up and up again And I gotta pick myself up and up again
