[Intro: Pmac]

Uh

South City in the building, we up (We up)

Uh (Uh)

And when you see me, better throw your V's up (Throw your V's up)

Alright, look (Alright, look)


[Verse 1: Pmac]

They want my autograph, and I ain't even famous yet

But got buzz like a [?] space cadet

Now I'm headed to the money, go and place your bet

'Cause I'm goin' all in, no raising check

And it's just me and my team

Livin' our dreams

Wrote my old shit ridin' in my black Beam—

—Er, say I won't make it mainstream

Mad 'cause they lactose and I'm makin' my cream

Uh, now tell me, who is more quoted?

I'm makin' the songs that you wishin' you had wrote it

Said I couldn't do it, now you lookin' hella moded

'Cause you told me you was better but ain't got nothing to show it

Opportunity, knockin'

Pretty girls jockin'

All my steelo, place some money in the pocket

And you wanna know why I don't take your advice

'Cause I don't even see y'all at such a great height

Uh

[Chorus: Benjamin Gibbard, Pmac]

They will see us waving from such (Ha ha ha) great heights (Uh, uh)

"Come down now," they'll say

And all the haters keep talkin' (Talkin')

But everything looks perfect from far away (We'll do good, we'll do good)

"Come down now," (Y'know) but we'll stay


[Verse 2: Pmac]

Wake up early in the mornin', I don't really like to sleep in

Get ready, listen to music, have a meetin'

Pull the MacBook up, play a couple beats, and go to school for two days, have a five day weekend

I'm the kid that they don't ever wanna see win

Now we in the building, you just tryna peek in

Money, weed, clothes, and a decent pair of kicks

Is everything I need to have a tippin' on my dick?

Prolly leave you hella pissed off

But I know you been soft

And she just wanan give a taste of her lip gloss

To me

It ain't really nothing that I really trip off to me

Every day I hustle like I'm Rick Ross

Uh, you can find me workin' down at the bungalow

King Kong beat and a George of the Jungle flow

Did a hundred shows, 'bout to do a hundred mo'

Never stoppin', to the top is where I'ma go

[Chorus: Benjamin Gibbard, Pmac]

(Ha ha ha, ha ha ha) They will see us waving from such (Yeah, yeah) great heights

"Come down now," (C'mon) they'll say

And I don't even see y'all at such a great height

But everything looks perfect from far away (For real, for real)

"Come down now," (Aye, you ever want something so bad) but we'll stay (That it's the only thing you think about, think about?)


[Bridge: Pmac]

But there's always that one person (One person)

Tellin' you all the reasons why you might not get it (Why you might not get it)

And you ain't the type of person to (Ain't the type of person to)

Listen to what the haters say and none of that (And none of that)

But (But)

Where what'dya do?

Uh


[Verse 3: Pmac]

When you ain't even seen as an obstacle

But your dreams are unstoppable

You're wonderin' if you even audible

'Cause them listening to you seems impossible

Like David to Goliath

A single bug to a giant

But fuck it, you won't know until you try it

They made the first impression but you love to defy it
