Take Me Higher
[Verse 1]
There's been times in my life when my world caved in
Never understood when it was happening
That's when I grabbed a pen like a soul in a syringe
And pumped it in the page like it all made sense
Told tales of my victories, struggles, defeats
Stories influenced by people I reach
Teaching while learning, and laughing while crying
Living while Losing through parts of me dying
Bad habits and company knowing that it was up to me
Change was a choice broke free from my custody
Started from nothing and worked my way up
Sacrificed love and endured the break ups
All for a pay stub cheque for cheque
I did everything I could to get respect
I found the ambition and took the initiative
To still carry on when there's nobody listening
Broken Promises, the truth is obvious
Lost and Found through attraction of opposites
Love's an argument and Hate's and optimist
Should I settle? Or party and rock with it?
If 's and but's don't amount to bucks
Lifes a bitch when your poor it sucks
They say the body is a garden for the soul
The ying verse yang two halves of a whole
And you can plant seeds or dig holes
Control you mind don't get mind controlled
So put your fists up, and keep your spirits high
Stay focused success has an alibi
Your one of a kind through body and mind
Only one way up from the bottom we climb
So take a chance and be the man
Forget the romance stand up and lets dance
[Chorus]
You take me higher and I can't get enough of it
Got me addicted we should probably mix it up a bit
There's more then us inside this bubble save some air for me
Don't let it pop cause then that proves that its too good to be
You take me higher and I can't get enough of it
Got me addicted we should probably mix it up a bit
There's more than you inside this bubble save some air for us
Don't let it pop cause whats outside of its too dangerous

[Verse 2]
Face the music follow your heart improve the flow
Get in where you fit in and always leave room to grow
It's who know that moves the most
I leave em tripping like chords on floors of studios
Not the rufio type or a thug or a veteran
I came with the answers but even more questions
Travel the globe kicking verse for research
Converse with my people embrace the teachers
I take what they teach us and pass it around
Addicted to dope but the substance is sound
I made a wish to reverse the cancers
Feed the hungry reinburse the panhandlers
But my wish wasn't answered but it's okay
Cause life goes on inside my memory
Blue and grays they turn to rays
And just like cube said today was a good day
This loves a matter of fact I carry energy
That I use to light the fuse on my enemy
Im an anomaly, Fuck negativity
The lines are open for those connected into me
Cause no ocean refuses a river
Emotions expressed through the words I deliver
I ain't a fake like the rest of these cats
Little kids growing up on some snowball rap
Lacking integrity livin in fantasy world
I know the meaning of life and what its actually worth
My friends my fam inspiring change
Seeing the world far beyond all your chains
So count your blessings and not your jewelry
Don't take love for granted and soon youll see
Its been said before so let the truth repeat
Its bigger than hip hop and bigger than you and me
[Chorus]
You take me higher and I can't get enough of it
Got me addicted we should probably mix it up a bit
There's more then us inside this bubble save some air for me
Don't let it pop cause then that proves that its too good to be
You take me higher and I can't get enough of it
Got me addicted we should probably mix it up a bit
There's more than you inside this bubble save some air for us
Don't let it pop cause whats outside of its too dangerous
