I'm so close, I can see solid ground Nowhere I won't go, not a feat out of bounds Nothing to lose, I lost it all, Nothing to prove, nowhere to fall So here we are, the first step of the stairway I'm already caught up in what's next and I'm scared straight 'cause in a weird way, I still expected a fair play Despite all my opinions I've collected from hear-say A cleared slate, let's start to fill it up Drop the chalk and picking up a permanent marker, an artist in the rough Dusting off the dirt, show the rawness building up When they see the blood it pumps, they'll see my heart is real enough But I won't die to be appreciated, I wanna be alive to see their faces The day that I finally reach a nation Take the time to breathe the day in Building castles inside of the desert sand while tryna find my green oasis Take the reigns and write my story in ink Open eyes if life is over and done before we can blink We sit on the brink of glory, a lot more than we think Just gotta make priorities sync I'm so close, I can see solid ground Nowhere I won't go, not a feat out of bounds Nothing to lose, I lost it all, Nothing to prove, nowhere to fall Grand scheming, standing between the land and the sea Thinking "neither captain nor driver's the destiny planned for me I'm a pilot" sampled a piece of the sky's ambient freedom and knew the second I landed I'm finished planting my feet Never bite the hand that feeds me, I got low tolerance for pain Never realized all of the dirt that was washing off the rain When I prayed for the sun, thankful it's done but happy it happened The day's gonna come that I'll say the same for the chapter passing So I'll wait, as I'm mastering the art of picking battles I learn the difference between taking shade and living in shadows I traveled along the barrier, finally ready to cross They'll throw confetti when the stones get too heavy to toss Through the loss, I gained more, was afraid of them waging war But if they're gonna do it then what the hell are they waiting for? I'm here, in the same place as before, all that changed Is I got nothing lose but all to gain I'm so close, I can see solid ground Nowhere I won't go, not a feat out of bounds Nothing to lose, I lost it all, Nothing to prove, nowhere to fall I'm so close, I can see solid ground Nowhere I won't go, not a feat out of bounds Nothing to lose, I lost it all, Nothing to prove, nowhere to fall

I just feel like going off, spit it raw, no particular concept a littered mindset that when it's split from the context can seem a little sick, a little different at times Until I find that middle bridge between their thinking and mind it's quick witted, stick with it and find, yes, I'm insane I was driven there by the same train of thought that obsession reigned as conductor; guessing games and phases that obstruct the Duration of a lesson that's a race for the instructors Who can take these balls of clay and make 'em carbon copies faster Then label masterpieces of art across 'em, their stature is not to capture their heart, but to trap it, trick it to catch it and take it as ransom, latching the hatch on it's gate and standing in wait, patient until the phase of plan is in action a trade of fate for reaction, to face a fatal attraction a date to dance with the devil, but I'm taking the lead Name on the deed, paid my dues and this time, saved the receipt (it's nothing new) I've said it all before, but that's fine (it's all the same) They still haven't absorbed half the time (I'd make the move) (but it never changes) no (it never changes) no (they never do) What will you say, what will you do what will you do, when it stops being me and starts being you? What's this even about? I'll figure out til then there's bigger fish to drown, while I down a dose of medicinal bitterness, sipping doubt With it, given'll either drive me to win, or drive me insane They're prescribed by the same surgeons who's digging inside my brain to rewire my thinking and to stitch my open heart shut Glue my open mind closed, and twist my vocal chords up in order to keep me from speaking 'em both So I don't plant any seeds from either they don't want people to grow but neither my heart or mind's where I keep 'em, I hold 'em deep in my soul, where their biggest scalpel won't even get close to reaching Seems that most are overreaching and underachieving None of 'em know how to leave in peace while there's something to leave with Not til their humble achievements crumble to pieces do they evacuate and as they trip and stumble to leave, they grab what their back can take to carry any fraction of dignity left they see and leave the rest in debris (it's nothing new) I've said it all before, but that's fine (it's all the same) They still haven't absorbed half the time (I'd make the move) (but it never changes) no (it never changes) no (they never do) What will you say, what will you do what will you do, when it stops being me and starts being you?

Sweet Dream 03:16
In a deep sleep, sweet dream with open eyes and I feel so serene, I never felt so alive I touch the sky, use my wings, and fly away I'm lucid dreaming, while wide awake I'm in a deep sleep No time to waste, got a line to erase Won't wait til they finally face What I've been tryna say since day one til when they come to acquire the taste for themselves, let em wait on the shelf let 'em take what they're dealt and use it I'ma make 'the dealer reshuffle that deck, I was blessed and I've been through your hell to prove it Self inducing a high, to the rest of the world I'm losing my mind but little do they know really I'm just gaining it for the first time, and it's beautiful, climbed to a new height, an enlightened state so High with a view so wide but they choose to stay low Given time living in the lines, any fool's gonna find a way though but til that day, what do they know? they're gonna make waves til we're floating in the same boat Their mind frame holds an undeveloped mental picture in the center, but it's really just a blank roll Safe in the same old same of the mundane mind state, while I'm on the highway to edified thinking with a one way ticket to the clouds in a place where untrained eye may Look at as break down, really it's a break through I can make time wait, I can make fate lose I can change any written rule in the game I can take any ending and extend it to a phase two and it all started when I learned I could fly, and I used my wings When I realized real life's an illusion, the nightmare became a lucid dream In a deep sleep, sweet dream with open eyes and I feel so serene, I never felt so alive I touch the sky, use my wings, and fly away I'm lucid dreaming, while wide awake in a deep sleep a sweet dream I'm in a deep sleep a sweet dream Life is a trip, and I'm falling up, down every single ounce all at once Far above take reality hits from the strongest blunt of the hardest drug: life, one puff from the pipe dream, and I feel nice What they said was my one vice ended up being my means when I scaled life at a height so high, with no way back down..and it makes sense, why go back to the ground to the prison of the gravity and clipped wings wound, after living with no limits where the shackles unbounded Surrounded with ease, serenity, awareness, and peace I was scared when I entered too deep in the conscious conscience until I broke free from the hostage hold on my mental esteem and let it it run free, said I'd OD on a dose so high, but what they don't see is I feel so alive, living in a sweet dream without closing my eyes, enter in a deep sleep With an open mind, so row your boat through this deep stream of consciousness 'cause life is but a lucid dream, and I'm losing sleep to process it In a deep sleep, sweet dream with open eyes and I feel so serene, I never felt so alive I touch the sky, use my wings, and fly away I'm lucid dreaming, while wide awake in a deep sleep a sweet dream I'm in a deep sleep a sweet dream

Break Out 03:28
I've been gone, I've been away, I been locked in a cage tryna figure an escape and I know, though they try, they'll never keep me inside the box, give it time and I'll break out the walls that I break down They try to tell me pick a style, choose a lane and stop maneuvering 'cause if it's hard to fit me in a smaller box I'm losing 'em but wrong or not, they second I stop confusing them's the second I sever the knot, dissemble, surrender the plot, get ready to watch the loser win 'cause lose or win, I'm doing this knowing no one can truly get the genius scheme infused in the ludicrous, soak the roots in this fluid Potent with nutrients, musical notes I use to insult the cultures IQ while they're too stupid to notice So from the airwaves to the underground, all of them want a part of us some - they're telling me dumb it down, well, I'm telling them smarten up and if that isn't hard enough, the pseudo critics who view opinions they have as fact when they fact is that music isn't but in rap, any bitter fan with the internet's now a critic with anonymous comments the cowards are power tripping and that's fine, that's how they're living, they found their niche in projection they mold their living off spite, I just chose a different direction I've been gone, I've been away, I been locked in a cage tryna figure an escape and I know, though they try, they'll never keep me inside the box, give it time and I'll break out the walls that I break down Look I'm still weaving between the scenic and short cut Still no reason to choose or leave any door shut When they're border up, my mind's skeleton key and you're in luck, I use it generously and I set 'em free but when they reach the outside of their cage and they're safe and sound That's when they turn around to push me inside it, but shake the ground When they try taking me down from behind, but I seen them coming 'cause I spend more time looking back at what's over my shoulder than at what's in front of me so it seems my paranoia's justified I was shoved inside this category before they read passed my story's cover line and you still wonder why I try to lead the way Try forming opinion instead of recycling all these boxes that other people made and sticking us all inside the first one that we barely fit into the tradition's habitual, rap comparisons misconstrued but I'm down to fix em, I'm meant to end as martyr so what's their two cents really worth appraised to heart of gold? I've been gone, I've been away, I been locked in a cage tryna figure an escape and I know, though they try, they'll never keep me inside the box, give it time and I'll break out the walls that I break down

They say to let it go, I push it harder on the pedal I should settle but instead I try to barter with the devil when there's nothing I can offer; blame it on the author of the story of my life, I never played into the part that I was given. It's written as a tragedy, but half of me Just views it as a comedy, I'm laughing though it's sad to watch it happen So I guess that it's both I think you're tryna teach me something but the lesson is slow I'll never know until it's over with, hoping that I notice it at times I see the sign, but never read it, as I grow a little older it's slow getting harder as I'm closing what I opened and this road is getting lonelier with no one I can mold it with so I sit, picturing you sitting too Listening, apologizing for the shit you didn't do it's vivid too, it's like you're really talking to me but with this water getting deeper it gets hard to believe You let me drown, I need to breathe I'm sinking deeper You let me drown, I can't breathe You stay far away and let me drown, I need to breathe (as I travel down this road, and I see that I'm alone) You see me falling and let me drown, I can't..I can't breathe You said you'd save me You let me drown No matter what I write, you're somewhere in the lyrics I question what I'm hearing as I listen, everyone is interfering But I'm standing in the mirror, talking to myself again Remembering irrelevant remarks and every element in talked I had with everyone else They said that I should have some faith in you, but where were you whenever I fell? Everything felt like it was toppling on top of what I tried to build My mind was filled with every "how could you?" and "why?" but still I was feeling like maybe it was me I wasn't patient, but I see that I was wasting what had seemed to be the faith that I was placing where it should've been I should've had it in myself, but either way it's like I couldn't win 'cause now I'm blaming me for where my life has gone Telling me that life goes on, you said I'd see the light of dawn But this night is longer than you said it'd be That when I need you you'd be next to me, so why are you letting me You let me drown, I need to breathe I'm sinking deeper You let me drown, I can't breathe You stay far away and let me drown, I need to breathe (as I travel down this road, and I see that I'm alone) You see me falling and let me drown, I can't..I can't breathe You said you'd save me You let me drown I remember every night, I'd tell you things I never told to no one else Looking back, you never really listened, but I showed myself to you. I guess that I was talking to myself It's my fault, I really thought that you would help But in my heart, I guess I felt it, the entire time I knew the missing piece in me I tried to find in you Ignoring signs, I was fine being blind to proof and to find any peace of mind I would lie and deny the truth That was staring in my eyes, it's hard to believe But even harder when I don't when every part of me needs Someone to turn to - something to believe in Someone to save me when I'm jumping in the deep end But you let me drown, watching as I try to swim But still never diving in to save me, and no matter how much I pretend Despite it that you really care, the truth is finally clear if you're there, you really don't, so it's my final prayer Amen.

Introlude 01:16
Not gonna say no introduction needed, when it's not true Not gonna say the money's coming easy or that my pocket's full When the profit coming out's less than I'm putting into it I been through shit but not gonna say I'm better just 'cause I lived through it Or that that struggle means I'm more entitled Like my hand is on the bible when that mic's recording, sworn to truth, a born disciple Of the rhythm, beat, and melody So if I said I'm selling stacks of records that'd be blasphemy and that's a well as deep as hell that I can choose to drink of fall into With every line we either dig a grave or pave a road to bring us farther through the margin to the goal, so I'll never say I'm big enough to make a living until I am, or swear that I don't give a fuck When thats all I do - never brag about my follow through Or tell 'em I've never bought into or swallowed that same hollow truth I preach against, even when it seems I've reached an end I'll never say I gave it all I had while I'm still breathing and my Heart's Beating. (Allow me to reintroduce myself, my name is) as deep as most people venture (Allow me to reintroduce myself, my name is) one you'll learn to remember (Allow me to reintroduce myself, my name is) shit with no one to endorse it (Allow me to reintroduce myself, my name is) really not that important yet

Essence: I been waiting on sucess, there nothing that feels stranger- Then to see it all reflect and feelin like your a stranger- The person in the mirror, I fear her, I feel her anger- That person coming nearer, wave clearer I need ya anchor- (Its like Im) lookin for a reason to swim or even drown slow- Dont push someone whos eager to win right in there downslope- Cause I will go Ether and go in on all these clown folk- Then make you repeat it again on every download- But listen, I am diciplined- only will start a fire if- you missin where my missle is, look for somethin to fire with- That means you steady missing the point of where my fire went- you pourin water over my joint right when its firing- So how could you get higher when you dont hear the enviroment- You never hear the voices of reason sayin you fire yet- that 9-5 talkin, its talkin and gettin louder- Clock keeps watchin, watchinlike every hour- Every coward, got a reason- retreating thinking a leaving- leadin these people Im eager but feelin I need my freedom- The picture- is much bigger than competition could ever be- Alyssa- pull the trigger, they rather you be my enemy see I dont understand if I failed- or if I struck fate- If money give us time to prevail- then Im a buck late- How we sposed to follow the trail, where there is such hate- The box being hammered with nails and I cant escape- ha, and im bettin you could re-late Alyssa Marie: Still tryna figure out the signs, picture getting bigger in my mind Finger twitching on the trigger, tried sitting to the side but it's times like this minute, fine lines in the sky's limit That remind it's the prime time for reviving it Thrive in the middle of when and just surviving and it's time to pick a side cause the river it's getting wider and the shore is getting further to either, I read the finer print While looking at the size of picture inside a wider lens it's the struggle of wondering what'll come of the trouble of putting double the effort with every muscle Connecting the puzzle, ruffling feathers to get a couple of Subtle if any steps I could stumble or misdirect and I can feel the people waiting to take it as opportunity Truthfully,though it's sad it don't seem as bad as used to be ain't stressin like I usually do, I'm used to scrutiny Tell me they're down for life, and they're ready writing my eulogy Proof reading it scheming a way they can take the lead When the only way to escape a defeat is to not compete and instead begin to assemble together, but I can see I'll either eat at the bottom or starve for what's out of reach Try to leap, when the place that I'm aiming ain't in my vision yet Or stay where I know I'mma be safe and accept the limits set I guess, I can settle for less or risk the whole pot and either leave with all or nothing when this show stops

Wake Up 03:36
today's the day I'm gonna lose nothing and change the world, I'm gonna do something..huge..just give me 5 more minutes, I hit the snooze button the alarm again, feel like I barely blinked but the clock says different, guess I didn't hear it ring 'cause two hours passed by in reality while I was busy dreaming in the only place they haven't breached guess I'm half asleep, talking nonsense drag my feet across the hall, hardly conscious washing off the residue of "anything is possible" back into the "get a clue, everything ain't optional crash..down from cloud 9 to earth (gotta move) I'ma get some down time in first turn the news up on the television...too depressing flip on something lighter, shit, this tom and jerry, it's got me reminiscing I'll sit a second, but I really gotta go a whole world's still depends on me to fill the pot to grow I know, and I will. just one more episode one turned 4, if I don't get up now, I'll never go picking up my keys, in pursuit of my vision but I Just realize I ain't eat and there's no food in the kitchen left it's cool though, I'll hit a drive through when en route so it saves me time and money 'cause with both my budget's too low I'm in the car heading over to dunkin donuts windows open, music bumpin, I feel the summer approaching I know must be close to 80, the whole city's alive the vibe is beautiful, the people are smiling sitting outside on their porches, the kids of course paying mind to no one that passes to them the street's their court and I'm blocking their only basket so I wait until they pause, then I pass with a wave and smile thinking, today's too perfect to waste, and there's still awhile until it's too late to make a difference, the world can wait, there's still all day to fix it but this sun'll set soon, and I'd hate to miss it when it may be weeks before this weather comes around again that's southern new england's early spring, bound to end as quick as it began, so I can't take it for granted call to see who's around, who's down to hit naragansett? I know there's plenty beaches closer by where we can watch the sun set and see the whole horizon and even though the time's getting late, and I still got things to do there's not a place as close to perfect for this April interlude between these cold fronts, so we decide it's worth the trip the traffic's slow but, the Weather said 7:36 that's an hour til the sun set, we make it in less than half of that turn on the exit, pull in the lot at a quarter passed, and as we're gazing at the aftermath today has left behind a painted sky fades to black, the crashing waves against the side wishing I could wrestle time to press rewind and loop this day again the warm wind against my skin, the music nature sings the scent of ocean air, the cold sand my feet are buried in present in the moment, no regards, forgetting everything I stand up and start to run pass the shore and keep on going, reach the ocean and dive into the water, numb from the freezing cold, a rush, so unbeatable then I hear 'em screaming for me from the beach" come on we need to go" I swim in, we get in the car and leave I doze off in the back seat, wake up to us on my street say peace. get out of the car and they drive away finagle my keys, walk in the house at the light of day rush to shower, change and brush my teeth, get underneath the covers, turn the TV up to watch til I'm asleep thinking back, reflecting on the time that passed feeling like it's missing something, can't be nothing big to slip my mind that fast roll over, eyes heavy, feel 'em shutting still can't help but feel like I'm forgetting something

They're in way too deep, but the root of the issue is superficial Every diss they do is using a pistol to shoot a missile You official? Well I make the moves that don't miss you How you walk to the talk wearing shoes that don't fit you? They missed you, passed 'em over, going back acting bolder Now we're older and they're talking faster but I'm laughing slower They're happy sober 'cause they're high on life but fail to mention what a bad trip that high's been like it's kind of nice, this looking in perspective from outside the box I witness at a distance with a crooked grin, reflective of what could've been With such a satisfying pity Pretty sad, but that's the shitty side I've had to hide within me Well I'm sick of being red flagged, finished flying half mast All this shit they said one day that I'd look back and laugh at Yeah, I'm still waiting for the humor in it I'm still sitting at my ending, patient for that new beginning I don't think that I'm the one I don't feel like I'm above 'em, I don't know what I'll become But what I do know, is when it's said and done It's more about the chase than the run I don't think that I'm the one I don't feel like I'm above 'em, I don't know what I'll become But what I do know, is when it's said and done It's more about the chase than the run Let the record show: I know it's not a simple "yes" or "no" They wrote a letter saying "let it go" and signed it x and o. Bless the soul that hasn't sold it yet the one that's getting no respect but holds onto their morals with a slow success if it all, yes, I know the shit I talk Never one to soften when externalizing inner thoughts but listen, I'm giving yall the vision I wish had then Back when I stood before a path that wasn't past tense but that's then, this is now, all I gotta figure out is what fuck that's supposed to mean, I think I'm fit to vouch and tell my story, though it's short it's gotta lot of lessons Beginnings and endings and blending of curse and blessing That together form experience, enough to relate to For anyone, create the need to follow where I take you Shift the love to hate then watch it cycle back, light to black Every type of past uniting through the slightest crack in wishing they could travel back and fix it Before that crack was shifted to a crumbled wall of fallen stacks of bricks it's the same shit, different but synonymous and parallel the fact stress is carried well's a win and lose 'cause half the hell You're living through is overlooked, that's why I laugh Step back look at life like a joke I finally grasp Hoping while I pass through existence, I can turn a passion to a living Without asking for assistance I don't think that I'm the one I don't feel like I'm above 'em, I don't know what I'll become But what I do know, is when it's said and done It's more about the chase than the run I don't think that I'm the one I don't feel like I'm above 'em, I don't know what I'll become But what I do know, is when it's said and done It's more about the chase than the run I don't think that I'm the one I don't feel like I'm above 'em, I don't know what I'll become But what I do know, is when it's said and done It's more about the chase than the run I don't think that I'm the one I don't feel like I'm above 'em, I don't know what I'll become But what I do know, is when it's said and done It's more about the chase than the run

Family 04:30
To my family From my blood to my peers My friends to my fans Through the blood sweat and tears You were there for me and without you I wouldn't be That's why I see you when I look at me [repeat] First and foremost, my blood family For understanding me for causing most of my sanity and insanity can't even start describing the canopy you provided I stand beneath to withstand and survive the damage and find an advantage in a fight I'm told I can't defeat You grant me the strength when I'm branded weak and you taught me to use my hands and feet Instead of handed me what I needed, when my feet couldn't stand Instead of a crutch, you're the trampoline set beneath them Not leading, but guiding, you helped turn my fantasy to a dream Then my dream into a goal I can land when I got a team That I can pass to, to always have my back through it all it ain't perfect but getting it through all the proof that we are at least as a dynamic, when we find we can manage it Stand together providing a peace in times of panic and I know there's good and bad, we all come with our issues but in the worst conditions I know the loves unconditional To my family From my blood to my peers My friends to my fans Through the blood sweat and tears You were there for me and without you I wouldn't be That's why I see you when I look at me [repeat] Where to start.. I know I'm hard to be depended on but I'm lucky that friends like y'all respect the struggle that comes with coming up independent, long Nights recording, and days writing til the ink is gone the true addiction I'm used to living to spend each minute on and when the song's are finished, the business side is beginning Outside the shows and studios, music defines the living of an artist still, giving up a lot, because it's hard to fill this cup When the water's given in drops with more that's spilling than not Not to say I don't overdo it, I know I do, the truth is though, I probably always will, it's road I choose Just hope that you don't misunderstand it With every plan that I miss it's not because I don't miss kicking it, you're like family Granted, I know that lately I haven't acted as such but that's the thing, you still all had my back in the clutch and that's love, so I hope this better explains You're still the realest friends I've had to this day, that never changed To my family From my blood to my peers My friends to my fans Through the blood sweat and tears You were there for me and without you I wouldn't be That's why I see you when I look at me [repeat] Now to you: I'm sorry I'm late, I ain't told you yet but here it goes, hope you know this is straight from my open chest To the person my voice is reaching the reason I'm keeping it real when speaking like there's no choice between it the people that hear this noise and call it art that say I keep 'em together, do they know that without 'em I'd fall apart? No..they probably don't know that even though with most of 'em Our roads won't ever meet, something deeper's keeping us close though So, here's to you if this applies To anyone that ever told me my music affects their lives and every time you said I served as inspiration it's mutual Place worth on my pain when you take what I say and use it Relating; it makes it easier knowing it's not in vain I can face it by keeping faith that it may be your way to freedom and my chains seem to loosen up You give my struggle purpose and knowing I'm not alone keeps me music for us To my family From my blood to my peers My friends to my fans Through the blood sweat and tears You were there for me and without you I wouldn't be That's why I see you when I look at me [repeat]

Never seemed to find bliss inside ignorance Time stole the innocence, I noticed how we're living by our differences Separate, instead taking how we're all the same Use the common bonds and together break the ball and chain 'cause we're all still residents of square one Unaware of what our struggles we share and how far we've really come Still no where near done, still got a lot the race that we've gotta face They don't care about where you're from They don't ask who started last, they're just worried who finished first They don't factor who had it worst when they pick the winner, no curve in the system; the further in that I get the clearer the image appears and it turns simplest step to set of infinite stairs Wware of the vail of perception worn But it's either take the umbrella they hold, or weather the storm in the cold alone on my own, and I know it's wrong but was over tryna hold on to the hope when the rope is gone I was stuck in traffic on the road going to Nowhere but that's when I noticed that I'm not alone here So when the wind blows, instead of falling down I spread my wings, think of you, and let it take me off the ground By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top I climbed the tree to see the world When the gusts came around to blow me down I held on as tightly as you held onto me Felt like I was existing in a world that really isn't mine, walked the thinnest line Between light and shadow where it's shattering a brittle mind that battles to a finish line that's nothing but an ending with a sugar coated title and wonder, is this depending or supporting? are we fixing or distorting? Sort as risk or reward when the thrill itself is awarding? The more that it's reinforcing a difference, the more it's assuring with it This isn't the same predicament all of us forced to live in That we're not in it together, that we fight it alone But looking close we're more alike than we know Holding on to the same hope as we climb that in time it'll all be worth it Find peace of mind one peace at a time beyond the surface Digging further and reaching deeper, believe we're on the verge of the peak and see you'll find it right when you're no longer searching a journey to see it all, climbing the tallest tree The problems that seemed so big on the ground I can hardly see They get smaller with every branch that I pass, watching how far to the top I still gotta climb or the bottom if I would fall While we're all climing in the same direction working separately How much less would the effort be merging our strength together to lesson the weight we carry alone? Holding on tight to each other as we get blown by the wind and gravity's hold On us pulls, we'll push to top of the tree together Move the leaves aside to see it better and say By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top I climbed the tree to see the world When the gusts came around to blow me down I held on as tightly as you held onto me [voice clip] By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top I climbed the tree to see the world When the gusts came around to blow me down I held on as tightly as you held onto me So this is for the people sitting at the bottom Awaiting my return or thinking I forget them Let them know the second that I hit the very top I'll throw a rope down, bring 'em up, and sit beside them Sitting at the bottom Thinking I forget them Hit the very top, I'll throw a rope down, and sit beside them This is for the people sitting at the bottom Awaiting my return or thinking I forget them Let them know the second that I hit the very top I'll throw a rope down This is for the people sitting at the bottom Awaiting my return or thinking I forget them Let them know the second that I hit the very top I'll throw a rope down, bring 'em up, and sit beside them and say By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top I climbed the tree to see the world When the gusts came around to blow me down I held on as tightly as you held onto me
