Yared Taylor - To The Top lyrics

[Intro: Yared] You done know, it's Red and Io k**ing beats, never stop We going straight to the top [Intro: iotosh] Straight to the top, never going to stop No matter how bad things look in life You can always, always, reach the top [Verse 1: Yared] Got to stay sharp, like you double edged Cut a brother down to size like an ugly hedge Spit the sickest flows, like he was chewing lead This brother so down to earth gravel in his head Money on his mind Got some close contacts, friends with Calvin Klein Draw first blood with my pen, that's a lifeline Gon' need one if you dis if you or end up on primetime News got me stuck on the couch like the stain in my shirt Abstain being sober, lil liquor never hurt Pain to my mama and a stain on the earth And I'm tryna make a living, what the true really worth? What the worth of the wealth if the cost is in hell Money and secrets in my pocket cause the bank always tell Try to feed me poison apples so I'm going back to Dell And you see me on your tele, chopper ring like a cell And we got the hard bars like a life sentence Thug life, steal your life essence Making money like the mint but it don't make sense That we jump a n***a quick like the was a short fence I'm Alcatraz, boy you monkey bars TRESemmé made my mind up so I'm going far Try to sell me out now I know who the phonies are Bout to conquer earth in a minute, then it's off to Mars [Verse 2: iotosh] Di war of righteousness start, I'm a part of Jah Jah army We trample beasts of Babylon, dem wah fi try and harm me Fearless warrior, not even need a shield to guard me From Jah inna mi boat, mi nah jump ship Even in stormy weather Some people only goal in life is to obtain the cheddar Dem nuh care 'bout human life, so earth a run redder Which one you prefer? Jah light that's like a lamp? Or Babylon lies that's as light as a white feather? Which one better? To guide you through the darkness? Nuh must Jah light, regardless Of the fact that mankind nowadays a move too damn heartless Dem nuh think we smart-- dem feel dem a di smartest Some get brainwashed; the images on TV leave them thoughtless Food for thought dis, betta mark dis Mark my words, hear what I'm talking When you've fallen, get on up And keep on walking, a nuh laugh ting Shine your light in the midst of all this darkness Cause the people who achieved greatness had to overcome the hardest The rough and the tough, most difficult stuff Life is a b**h and she thick and she buff And she tricking so much and she tricking nuff All you need to do is just give her a -- Keep looking up if you down on your luck Cause all will be well if you're pouring out love Fear not a soul cause you need not fear Anyone but the Great One above Look at your life and find it's meaning Watch out for snakes, 'member looks are deceiving Coulda you brother, you sister, you friend If you let them in, you might end up grieving Maybe just bleeding, believe me Greedy conniving backstabbing heathen Try your best to be good, don't be them They'll try to fool you, don't believe them Put your best works out, you must buss Don't feel a way if it's not after the first Song that you drop or race that you run Or exam you sit, and last place you come As the beat starts, or you hear the gun Or the timer start till the exam done Better put everything that you have inna life Cause better must always come, uh Remember when you start to feel tired That's when you don't stop Cause you might just be this close to the finish line On the way to the top
