Its going up, up, up... Oh so close! Missed it by a hair but what a show!

[ADLIB]
You know what man I've gone through a lot of stuff in my life lately you know, I've come out with some battle scars, doctors telling me I was working myself to an early grave and everything. For real. But I've never tried to put it all down before so it's still raw. But as I started to write this I thought of all the peoples going through the
Same thing...
[VERSE 1]
Yo
It's January and my memory was hazy
Calling shots with my man jay
In February
My crates full of old demos
Instrumentals
09 from ideas in 08
And it was fate that I made it this far
So don't test me
That's my new motto
The firstborn godson
A new moniker
Like a son of zebedee
With my brother atlas
It was October when we dropped the first EP
Underground kings
Low key like infinite
For me, I owe it to my family
To leave a legacy of artistry
I'm Stuck
Between a rock and hard place
Proverbially
Where pressure builds internally
Tryna outshine 7 bill people
Like a constellation
In the solar system
When I hit your radio station
[Chorus]
Verses bless the mind of a poet
Speak the words that are rarely spoken of
A daily reminder
For a grinder
Never going under even when your knees buckle
And the levee breaks
Sometimes it takes
Some
Time
To find your way
Navigate thru a hurricane
Tell your story
(Talk about) x4
[VERSE 2]
Elsewhere on this lonely planet
Is a girl named Alice
Only 19
But ran a gamut of experimentally damaging habits
When her so called friends vanished hanging by a
Thread she's cautious when
People tell her "I love you"
She's nobody's fool
Studies in school
Harder than anyone
Building her vocabulary
Specifically
So she can be poet or an emcee
Detox with a bass line
The guidelines of our lives are comprised of deadlines
So analyze your surroundings
Make the most of your time
Till your presence is felt astounding
The masses and they crown you kings and queens of the establishment
Then come back and impart wisdom
Like a wiseman
[Chorus]
Verses bless the mind of a poet
Speak the words that are rarely spoken of
A daily reminder
For a grinder
Never going under even when your knees buckle
And the levee breaks
Sometimes it takes
Some
Time
To find your way
Navigate thru a hurricane
Tell your story
(Talk about) x4
[OUTRO]
This one goes out to the entrepreneurs of the future
Working a nine to five and the present time
And the brother In college studying and practicing his cyphers alone when
The rest were out partying
To the woman raising her family by herself
Don't give up
Keep singing
Keep writing
Keep playing
I call this song HIGHER
Higher
