Lyrics
We come from so far
And life is full of surprises
Just know I'll never change
No, I'll never change
No matter the circumstances
Though this road can be demanding
I'll always be the same
Always be the same
Never lose sight of who you are
Temptation comes from near and far
Wounds heal, but leave a scar
Make sure from the start, it's from your heart
'Cause didn't you know that the higher you go
It's the more you'll expose
If you're a thorn or a rose
'Cause didn't you know that the higher you go
It's the more you'll expose
If you're a thorn or a rose
Yo
We're all products of the same stem, same blood, and same skin
Same ghetto flower growing from the same pavement
Rising to the challenge of this world and trying to stay in it
Paying tears and sweat, paying dues, paying rent
Never shall I stumble
I stay on the same wavelength
Yeah, the game is savage
Yo, it's primitive as cavemen
Only way to save men and free them from enslavement
Start to overstand each other like a native language
Guiding one another down this road full of changes
Though it's full of dangers, we got to be courageous
Let the vibe spread and make your bravery contagious
Know you're going through the same book, different pages
People can be so vain
Hustling can be so pain-ful and make you
Feel like all you do is work for no gain
But before it all goes up in flames like propane
Inhale and exhale
No stress and no strain
'Cause didn't you know that the higher you go
It's the more you'll expose
If you're a thorn or a rose
'Cause didn't you know that the higher you go
It's the more you'll expose
If you're a thorn or a rose
We come from so far
And life is full of surprises
Just know I'll never change
No, I'll never change
No matter the circumstances
Though this road can be demanding
I'll always be the same
Always be the same
Never lose sight of who you are
Temptation comes from near and far
Wounds heal, but leave a scar
Make sure from the start, it's from your heart
'Cause didn't you know that the higher you go
It's the more you'll expose
If you're a thorn or a rose
'Cause didn't you know that the higher you go
It's the more you'll expose
If you're a thorn or a rose
Careful of the wolf in sheep's clothing
Some things don't expose when it's right under your nose
Yeah, yeah
