Higher Ground
[Verse 1]
How many lies? How many times? How many lives is this?
How many huh… How many hopes? How many dreams dismissed?
I been around, you been around, we born inside the abyss
You raised me a rebel, a rouser, it seems we the only one making a fist
Fuck all the hope n thinking n praying, our function is breaking it down
We bottled our anguish n rarely mistaken, they bet n they laugh as we drown
But what makes us better than betting competitors? And how do we topple the crown?
Brother, I hope that you’re ok, learn love for higher ground
[Hook]
Higher, higher, higher, higher
Learn love for higher ground
Higher, higher
[Verse 2]
How many lies? How many times? How many lives is this?
How many broke? How many rich? How many dreams get lived?
The tide has been turning, the fire is burning, and people are starting to see
We willing to listen, who murders our children, the same hand that won’t let us feed
The scraps we been eating, we hella defeated, they brain wash American dreams
And no, this world ain’t ok, on us to stop they schemes (schemes)
And brother, I hope you’re okay, but it’s peace for higher ground
[Hook]
Higher, higher, higher, higher
Learn love for higher ground
Higher, higher
Learn love for higher ground
Higher, higher, higher, higher
Learn love for higher ground
Higher, higher
Learn love for higher ground
