The Climb

Aye what can I do to get to the top? Writing and recording these songs till I drop Don't care what you think, no I'm not gonna stop Got so much inside me I feel like I'll pop or bust Don't like no one round me, I don't have no trust Feel like there's a knife to my heart that's gon thrust But I won't be complacent, I'm not gonna rust Gonna take off and haters can all eat my dust! But how can you make a record and get recognition I'm writing these songs, lyrical ammunition Every night I close my eyes and have a vision But I'm sick of all these haters and their bitching In a room full of people, feeling so alone Got so many scars, call me Al Capone I'm just laying down bricks, building my throne Y'all used to ignore me now you're blowing up my phone Yeah you wrote me off, and now you're crawling back But I'm busy making songs and drinking jack Yeah I'm killing tracks, dressed in all black Super skinny slacks, Atlanta Braves hat My songs pack a smack, I'm not making stacks I'm doing crack, I'm not acting whack Just spitting bars, pulling knives out my back Turning on my mic and my Mac Then it's like a battle inside of me, charge and attack Not singing about a chick with a nice rack or fat ass Or smoking grass but I'm feeling gassed If this music shit's a test then I think I passed Welcome to my class, cracking skulls like glass This ain't my first song and won't be my last You fake ass rappers me me contrast, how are you so different you ask? Cause you're a stereotype, I'm an outcast Like slim said, spitting bars till I collapse Y'all are blazing grass, I'm blazing my own path, don't got enough cash to take a bath But you doubting fags are gonna feel my wrath Yeah I'mma roast you, you'll need a skin graph Then I'll do like Heath, bite this razor and laugh Like why so serious? I'm spitting bars like a seventy charger, fast and furious I found this beat, was like damn this is glorious Me and the fans don't need a label to carry us I'm gonna die with this music then you can bury us Yeah I may die but my music will live on Got a few fucks but I'll never ever give one You wanna challenge me? Ok then game on I'm not a superhero but it's boutta be flame on Could never be a hero, I can't even save myself Don't think I'll ever be happy, fuck fame and wealth I feel like I'm drowning, I'm outta my depth Countless nights I've just sobbed and wept It's been a long time since I've really slept Sometimes I wonder if I'd be better off dead Going through life always drunk and depressed Got some things I wish I could get off my chest I know this life that I've been living isn't my best Finally found something to put myself to the test To tell my story and stand apart from the rest I just wanna help people going through the same shit Feeling like you've dug a hole, you're stuck in the pit It's time to climb out, you've just gotta commit You might fall down, you gotta get up again Don't call me a hypocrite for telling you this when I'm stuck at the bottom with my pad and my pen But if I can boost you up and help you get out Then that's all I need, yeah that's what I'm about I'mma just stay here taunted by my doubt Get pissed, flip my shit, hit the wall and fucking shout I think that I'll be here forever, things ain't getting better I feel so much pressure, no time for no pleasure Used to be happy then I lost my treasure She's the reason that I started writing The reason that I'm scared to start climbing So I sit in this pit full of shit, boutta bust like a zit Feeling so alone, just call me J Witt, I'll admit when I spit it gives me a reason not to quit So if I can help you get up to the top just make that jump, you gotta take that leap Yeah, it might look steep and I know it's really deep But you gotta keep on fighting, while I just sit here writing Hey wipe them tears and quit crying Fight your fears and keep on trying, look up cause the sun is rising Just climb to the top and don't ever stop Just make up your mind and leave this place behind You might be surprised at what you find, you can't keep on living blind You can get out this bind, you don't gotta be confined, you'll never know if you never try Dig deep and take a look inside, I'm just here to let you know, from my own lonely dome That this battle is all in your mind And I'm here to help you climb
