Livin' in the big city The American dream is far from me and the streets of gritty Everywhere I turn, I'm on a mission for more But I ain't sellin' my soul with the dope, that's no bull I'm on a one way rise to the top I'm hittin' the strip but got a sound that will rattle your block I'm in the fast lane and I won't stop, you ain't nothin' but talk You couldn't hang on the rope I walk This life that I live, it ain't for the weak I'm a rowdy-ass gangster that came off the street I'm tryin' to keep the pace but I gotta keep my peace Got these punk-ass police, want me RIP And I'm searchin' for the higher ground I want my head in the sky, so high that I can't come down Legalized in every town across the nation 'Cause you can never stop the blaze Gotta rise up to the top (To the top) Can't stop (How high can you get?) Gotta rise up to the top (To the top) Can't stop (How high can you get?) 'Cause what goes up must come down So we gotta rise up to the higher ground Rise up (Rise up) Rise up (Rise up) Rise up (Rise up) How high can you get? Cruisin' in the drop Chevy, got my foot on the floor I'm hittin' switches and my frame is heavy You wanna look inside and see who's flossin' the ride Curiosity is killin' you and stingin' your pride I get high when we're flippin' the set Now we're flippin' the script and all you haters couldn't hold my dick Don't need a clip for my nondescript You should leave it alone and check your toe 'cause my nine will spit This right here's as high as it gets (No shit) Somebody like to split The Hill kept it real since we stepped on the set So just goin' for a stroll you gotta cut the check Got my Glock on deck and my custom vest reeks You can't fuck with me, I'm the best And you can keep the dress 'cause I'm smoke nothin' less Than the kush, step back I'm tired of gettin' pushed Gotta rise up to the top (To the top) Can't stop (How high can you get?) Gotta rise up to the top (To the top) Can't stop (How high can you get?) 'Cause what goes up must come down So we gotta rise up to the higher ground Rise up (Rise up) Rise up (Rise up) Rise up (Rise up) How high can you get? I go psycho, crazy Michael Myers And set the stage on fire, go higher 'Cause when our name's on a flyer, there's so much smoke It makes the whole city rise up Devise a plan to get the whole world lifted Walk back, tryin' to take the land with a mission There's no way you can stand in this position You can't take the heat, get the fuck up out the kitchen Born with the will to hustle, see we hittin' the road You'll never stop it, you ain't got the muscle We're on a world tour, homeboy, this is for sure We gotta cure blow the stage up, we out the door Sometimes we all need an escape so when we fall off track You get your mind right and make your stack I made a pact with my crew on the Hill, we'll continue to build For all the people who all need their fill Gotta rise up to the top (To the top) Can't stop (How high can you get?) Gotta rise up to the top (To the top) Can't stop (How high can you get?) 'Cause what goes up must come down So we gotta rise up to the higher ground Rise up (Rise up) Rise up (Rise up) Rise up (Rise up) How high can you get?
