(Proud of me)

(Verse)

i made it through the fire and storm to cross the promise land
dodging all them obstacles maybe its hard to understand
cause life is rough and its hard in finding an honest man
others are in a daze and living in a wonderland
i let em know that no matter how far that i am
when i saw the old man with a guitar in his hand
that was me music hit the blood stream to my imagination
everyday was a celebration to my infatuation
but now i’m lacking in education
the rhythm taking me to places only alex went for total domination
just thinking of making music and you could sell ’em
like 30 million copies sold for a michael jackson album
bad so now i’m on a mission
not dreaming a greatest hits but more an album of the year edition
only through sheer addiction have i made it this long
and my family keeping me headstrong i just hope that you proud

(hook)

day and night only for you i do my best so you’ll be proud of me
grinding till the break of dawn just to see you proud of me
i will never fall cause i will make you proud of me
so ill bang on till the end until your proud of me

(Verse)

and now the time is ticking away
no need to dwell on it cause its a new day
everyday i wake and feel like i got something to say
pray to god that i ain’t going astray
and speak uneducated words to the people when it ain’t going my way
i just think its kinda hard to explain
when all them others twist your mind only to make you concentrate on the pain
i’m just trying to wade my way through the rain
and be a better me its like i got the words in a cage i’m bout to set it free
unleash the thoughts in my mind that keep on haunting me
connecting the pieces to the puzzle to give you all of me
and keep it fresh on the pad no less than a half
open it like a sensitive rash then flee with cash
they never said how hard it would be the test of a soldier
part of life you living a dream the rest of its over
so now i’m doing my best stay true to the rhythm
and grateful to the people who listen i just hope that you proud

(Higher Ground)

(Verse)

i’m just looking for a way to express the feeling inside
the words said from every breath you see in my eyes
the hunger for better when i’m jotting a page
bet the government would rather see me locked in a cage
but i do it for the love of the game the love for the fam
people who got hiphop in there veins who know what im saying
emotions when they put on their favorite song
they know when they heard it exactly the day it was on
its all real when the pen hits the sheet
cause men are known to cheat
i say what i say when i flow on a beat
and give credit where the credit is due
unless you making what you see on television then i pity the fool
it ain’t a science what we trying to do
the chef got the rhythm banging like it should and i just follow it through
word is born from the soul to the heart
so its gonna be hard if you didn’t know from the start feel me

(Hook)

cause this life that we live on the way them trials are bound
you can see it from a mile around
all them roads looking darker with the rain like its firing down
so i’m tryna look for higher ground
look in their eyes you can see where they lies are found
talk hard but in your face they never cry a sound
the unreal masquerading only playing for that high renown
me i’m looking for that higher ground
vibe with me come on

man i’m looking for that higher ground
i’m just looking for that higher ground
vibe with me c’mon
