Lyric

Well, I'm diggin' in the crates like O.C

And we gotta learn from the greats like OG, you know me

Back in the days when the cadence was amazing

Now money, pussy, fame instead of a good tape

If Big and Pac were still in this motherfuckin' game

How many fake thugs are gonna fade away?

Things done changed and rap's got a bad name

I hate to see 'em hit a stain for cocaine

Drugs and guns get us stuck in the slums

Shit is rough and tough, but we never get enough

When I'm hustling, they be busting guns for nothing

Youngins still struggling and suffering for something

Tryna stay alive, but crime is on the rise

Do they fight to live or live to fight?

I gotta survive

We all gonna die, but everybody wanna shine

Open my book of rhymes again tonight

They say, "The higher you go, the harder you fall"

I keep climbing on my own even if I die alone

They never knew the view from the top cuz they stopped

Dropping hot shit like drones is all I know

They say, "The higher you go, the harder you fall"

I keep climbing on my own even if I die alone

They never knew the view from the top cuz they stopped

Dropping hot shit like drones is all I know

I'm driven by my villains on a mission

Trying to make a couple million and it's for my vision

Now they all know that I'm writing the blueprint like Jay-Z

Everywhere they go, my footprints are what they see

It's hard to follow cuz my motto is "For Tomorrow"

While they get the bottles and fuckin' with the models

I be working as the fire is burning inside me

You better do the right thing like Spike Lee

So we gotta stay up, this life ain't as easy as a layup

No matter what may come, fuck it, I'm all the way up

Always being straight up

Bitches better wake up

You never truly get away with a lie that you make up

This shit is so real, but you always on the bullshit

You can try to steal, but my verse is a full clip

I fiend for the mic like crack cocaine

Holding it so tight in this rap again

They say, "The higher you go, the harder you fall"

I keep climbing on my own even if I die alone

They never knew the view from the top cuz they stopped

Dropping hot shit like drones is all I know

I came so far, it was hard, didn't know how to start

Was it smart to follow my heart for my art?

It doesn't matter what answers I get

To write the real chapters I couldn't half step

The pages that I write are my life and I rep

Someday you'll find how soon it could end

So I paint a bigger picture for my baby in the future

Hoping one day he'll dream like Martin Luther

But if you dream in your sleep, it'll never come true

And if you laying in the sheets, no one speaks for you

Every choice you make always makes your voice

The only thing you need to get rid of the noise

Sleepless nights, I know the reasons why

I be staying on my grind and it's always on my mind

The demon in the mirror, sometimes he whispers

"Who you trying to be? Now you look like me"

They say, "The higher you go, the harder you fall"

I keep climbing on my own even if I die alone

They never knew the view from the top cuz they stopped

Dropping hot shit like drones is all I know

They say, "The higher you go, the harder you fall"

I keep climbing on my own even if I die alone

They never knew the view from the top cuz they stopped

Dropping hot shit like drones is all I know
