Lyrics
5 minutes of fame for 34 years of pain
Most of our life it seemed they confined us to a frame
Had to keep us tame, distracted and behaved
Once you taste a little truth
You don't come don't back from it the same
God forbid we get a bit change and break a chain
Habits snaps back like addicts looking for a naked vein
We take advantage of a lane then we ride it till it dry up
Once a pariah now they applauding soon as you ride up
Blocks is getting shot up, it's non-stop riot
Inner city griot living off a toxic ass diet
And most willing to die to get up out of it
And see the other side of it
Out the gutter but the gutter still inside of him
Pain don't even bother him Sodom Gomorra reign sovereign
No daddy so these streets had to father him
How can you blame him? When they doubted him
And they told him that his value less
Than bullets that they shot them with
And it's a mountain to climb
Climbed a mountain just to find another mountain
And then you reach another peak
Then you dip you climb then you reach another peak then you dip
And it's a mountain to climb
Climbed a mountain just to find another mountain
And then you reach another peak
Then you dip you climb then you reach another peak then you dip
Weather advisory, they never teach you how to react
You gotta be what you embody some will try to detach
We want the smooth road but the road is jagged on the come up
When the sun up, hitting the blocks, looking for the one up?
Then you run up on a hustle start buzzing like Dus Dus
The way the system cut us off who could we trust but us?
When goals is lofty, friends along the line's gets salty
Yo pardon me... had to shake them weak vibes off me
With the plans to bust the bank like Gus Fring
Hustle in my tank, plus too many names for us thank
I run a blank with a wooden tongue
Don't think of what I could have done
Live without regret's a food for thought that I be cooking from
Higher elevation cause vertigo sometimes
That fire birthed in you can end up burning you sometimes
Feel like a slave auction like the NFL combine
A king with only one eye in a world where they all blind
Selfish mentality won't stop till it's all mine
The short time we got on this earth leaking through fault lines
Salvador Dali flip till we see the tally's tip
From peaks to when the valleys dip the journey make you value it
And, and, and
And it's a mountain to climb
Climbed a mountain just to find another mountain
And then you reach another peak
Then you dip you climb then you reach another peak then you dip
And it's a mountain to climb
Climbed a mountain just to find another mountain
And then you reach another peak
Then you dip you climb then you reach another peak then you dip
Keep our eyes on the prize in the sky
Ascension is your truth yea
Bulldozing through ceilings and walls
No limit, no limit, no limit, no
Keep climbing
Keep on climbing you can climb, yea
Keep rising
Keep on rising you can rise yea
