Lost in a world, fortune and fame misleading
Fighting for love, knowing that it's more than feelings
Vices all around used to be my inner demons
My street light flicker on and off, I've been on my way
On my way up
On my way up
On my way
On my way
(Swoope there it is, brrah)
On my way up (Go), on my way up (Go)
Okay, okay, you gon' take it all the way up
On my way (Yeah, yeah), on my way (Ayy)
Okay, okay, you gon' take it all the way up (All the way)
Look like I've been shining all my life (Shining all my life)
Look like I ain't never told a lie (Never told a lie)
Lowkey while we livin' on this high (High, high, high)
Look like I'll be holding peace of mind, yeah
Miss me with that long time, we' gon' keep it short (Keep it short)
Got a twinkle in my eye, I'm headed north (Okay), headed north
Keep it peaceful, watch who gettin' close, yeah (Close)
Watch who gettin' close, look, they gotta meet the Ghost, yeah (Ghost)
They gon' meet the Ghost, yeah, they gon' meet the Ghost (Yeah)
They gon', they gon', think you always, always do the most, wait (Always do the most)
Keep on shining, darling, we see can see the coast, yeah (Coast)
I'm on my way up, I'm getting close, yeah
I'm gettin' close, yeah, Kamehameha (Kamehameha)
That ultra instinct and I'ma see my God
I've been on my way, so I say
Hear them talks and never change, it's just a phase
Prove them wrong, I'm getting close, that was yesterday
I gave what I had, what a price to pay
I gave what I had, what a price to pay
I'm not a man with answers
Just a son of man, thankful (Hoo)
I'm not a fan of phantoms
But that Ghost Man faithful
That was close, man, he raised me
Went from casket to a Lazarus (Yeah)
'Cause an advocate with a natural bend
Took compassion to save me (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
There was a known felon with no shelter
Now I go tell it with a propeller (Woo)
And a red banner and an open book
These words written in red grammar (Ooh)
That's redrum, the dead comin' from the gravesites at the last trump
Better ask someone, that's Revelation
That's chapter one and the last covenant (Yeah)
I'm in the city where the shells bang
In BK, I take the L train (Ooh)
I'm back and forth until the dam breaks (Yeah)
The flow is water and I'm well trained (Woo)
They spitting hell, I felt rain
I slept with strippers and I felt drained (Yeah)
Relied on God so many times for me to even try to tell you that I'm self-made
I've been (On my way)
Should have had two kids, two bids, coming up ruthless
(Cast of snakes)
Look at my garden, pickin' up flowers with shoeprints
Just stop burning my candle
White flag turn red, waving the banner
Eyes look dead when I look in the camera
Stay lowkey when I'm playin' the piano
I've been
On my way up (Yeah), on my way (Woo)
Okay, okay, you can take it all the way up (Yeah, yeah)
On my way up (Up), on my way (Yeah)
Okay, okay, we could take it all the way up
