For the first time
In a long time
I remember why I came here
Why I refuse to go down without
Fightin til I make something beautiful come out
Blast you to the Wuji
Murder your pre-conceived
Notions and limits
Til you know you can do
Anything that you make up
I’ll scream til you wake up
And I don’t even care if you think I’m a dreamer
If you think I’m a dumbass
Who doesn’t know a thing about the world you been livin in
I’m nothin if I’m not going to grind til I break free
And look at the dark Earth from higher than my language
Everything in me is climbin and climbin
I been bustin and breathin
I been leanin to the left just to get a view of nothin
I been waitin in the back room eatin your M&M’s
There’s nothing in the world that can make me forgot the flow
Deeper than the world goes
Nothin but letting go
All you gotta do is let it push you back and forth
A beatbox is better than a cross for finding God
I’m ready now we can make the world a better church!Up, get up
Until you’re too high
Up, get up
Until you’re higher than your former self
Up, get up
Until you ain’t low no more
Up, get up
Until you’re down into the sound and sproutin from the ground
Get up, get up
Until you can fly
Up, get up
Until your blood is bubbled up from pure love and hip-hop
I thought for sure I was done and out of juice
I coulda made a cake from the lake of something to say
Sometimes you get old and grow up and lose faith
Coulda sat down and died some days
But there was a great god made of little dots
Sitting down in the back of my heart
Waitin for a shot
And all I had to do was keep a little bit of want back
Swallow it down and ask over and over again
Hey don’t let me die before I get a chance
To dance into a few minds and draw a couple tears
I say a little prayer when I drop a kick drum
The rhythm
Tell me where your soul come from
Up, get up
Until you’re too high
Up, get up
Until you’re higher than your former self
Up, get up
Until you ain’t low no more
Up, get up
Until you’re down into the sound and sproutin from the ground
Get up, get up
Until you can fly
Up, get up
Until your blood is bubbled up from pure love and hip-hop
I’ve bled, I’ve led
I’ve fallen over and I’ve bounced back up
I don’t know when
I’ll break in such a way that I can’t be fixed
But until then
I promise I’ll get
Up, get up
Until you’re too high
Up, get up
Until you’re higher than your former self
Up, get up
Until you ain’t low no more
Up, get up
Until you’re down into the sound and sproutin from the ground
Get up, get up
Until you can fly
Up, get up
Until your blood is bubbled up from pure love and hip-hop
