Higher

[00:01.14] Yeah

[00:03.90] You know, I've been around for a while now

[00:07.39] Not sure if I have much left to prove

[00:10.89] Yeah I do, haha

[00:12.14] I look at me now, I'm thinkin, "Damn"

[00:14.15] How proud of me I am

[00:15.39] What I did is nothin' to sneeze at

[00:17.14] Even if your allergies are bad

[00:18.90] I'm up in a balcony in France

[00:20.14] I look around, I see the fans

[00:21.89] How they surround me in the stands

[00:23.39] Probably could drown in a sea of hands

[00:25.14] They're hollerin', "Shady" ("Shady")

[00:27.14] Yelling it out to me and that's what I mean when I say

[00:29.15] That one day someway, somehow, if I get the chance to get a crowd

[00:32.39] I'd flip it around and have a crowd give me the chants

[00:34.89] (I've done it all, man)

[00:36.64] But in actuality, I haven't, yet

[00:38.89] Where am I supposed to go from here? (Woah-oh-oh) Hey

[00:42.14] Really I have no idea (All)

[00:44.14] All I know is every time I think I hit my ceiling (Yeah, oh)

[00:47.54] I go higher than I've ever fuckin' been (My only question is)

[00:52.04] Where am I supposed to go from here? (Woah-oh-oh) Hey

[00:55.04] Really I have no idea (All I know is, all)

[00:57.19] All I know is every time I think I hit my ceiling (Yeah, oh)

[01:00.69] I go higher than I've ever fuckin' been

[01:04.44] Got no time for no haters in this bitch

[01:05.94] Or toleration for this shit

[01:07.44] But like medication, my dedication

[01:08.69] And the time it takes to do this shit

[01:10.44] Reminds me of how an overcrowded hospital waiting room'll get

[01:13.94] What I mean is maybe I have more patience (patients) than I'm able to admit

[01:17.19] Yeah, but I'm still mentally stable as a three-legged table in this bitch

[01:20.44] Fame was a switch, but I was grateful to trade this shit for the trailer with a hitch

[01:23.69] That it would make me a raving lunatic

[01:25.44] But I made it through my situation, I hit pay dirt

[01:27.94] Now I get paper like a stapler in this bitch

[01:30.44] But just 'cause I made a little bit of change

[01:31.94] Don't mean I've changed a little bit

[01:33.44] Brain full of wit, dangerous, can't extinguish this English language when it's lit

[01:36.69] And I'm just berating you with it, it's Shady 'til I'm eighty-two

[01:39.19] I'll spit this crazy, even Dre, he knows (nose) I'ma blow

[01:41.94] Better get the handkerchief again, haha

[01:44.19] Where am I supposed to go from here? (Woah-oh-oh) Hey

[01:47.19] Really I have no idea (All)

[01:49.19] All I know is every time I think I hit my ceiling (Yeah, oh)

[01:52.44] I go higher than I've ever fuckin' been (Know I talk about this shit a lot, my only question is)

[01:56.82] Where am I supposed to go from here? (Woah-oh-oh) Hey

[02:00.07] Really I have no idea (All I know is, all)

[02:02.82] All I know is every time I think I hit my ceiling (Yeah, oh)

[02:05.57] I go higher than I've ever fuckin' been

[02:08.57] Oh, now what am I gonna do?

[02:09.97] Can't nothing hold me, I'm on the loose

[02:11.47] Born a winner, damn, it's so hard to lose

[02:13.22] I can do it even when I'm tryin' to

[02:14.72] When my record flops, it still go through the roof

[02:16.22] This atmosphere's for a chosen few

[02:17.97] Who was on they grind makin' money moves

[02:19.47] And you ain't gon' get there if you watered-down

[02:21.22] You gotta take shots with a hundred proof (Check it out)

[02:22.97] Been in survival mode

[02:24.47] Since a five year old, it was I alone

[02:26.47] Since my trike was stole, spiral notebook and microphone

[02:28.72] But lookin' back how bad it was then

[02:30.47] If it hadn't been for the pad and the pen

[02:31.97] Addict mom and deadbeat dad

[02:33.22] I wouldn't have had the savage within

[02:34.97] Havin' to win every single battle I'm in

[02:36.97] All I ever wanted was to be an emcee

[02:38.47] Tediously I wrote obediently, believing in me

[02:39.97] EPMD must've had teachin' degrees

[02:42.47] Learned to defeat enemies with the ink, thinkin' of these rhymes

[02:44.97] Would be as Eazy as E

[02:45.72] And graffiti would be like remedial readin' to me (Yeah)

[02:48.72] 'Til my last breath leaves my lungs

[02:49.97] I'ma beat my drum (Yeah) for the streets I'm from (Yeah)

[02:51.72] The East side slums (Yeah), gotta remind 'em (Yeah)

[02:53.22] I'll take a foe out (Yeah), like fee-fi-fum

[02:54.72] You see my finger (What?), you see my thumb (What?)

[02:56.46] You see my fist, fuck a peace pipe, I'm (What?)

[02:57.97] Here for the smoke but it's not the weed I want (What?)

[02:59.72] With this beat I brung for the beef I've come (Woo)

[03:01.22] But you better bring it if you wanna reply from

[03:02.97] 'Cause for you to be lyrically inclined, it'd be a steep climb up

[03:06.72] That'll be an uphill battle

[03:07.72] But I'm up like your feet in a recliner

[03:09.97] And I think I'm about to go out on a limb like a tree climber

[03:12.72] Time to push my ceiling higher 'cause

[03:14.72] Where am I supposed to go from here? (Woah-oh-oh) Hey

[03:17.97] Really I have no idea (All)

[03:20.97] All I know is every time I think I hit my ceiling (Yeah, oh)

[03:22.97] I go higher than I've ever fuckin' been (For the last time, my only question is)

[03:27.72] Where am I supposed to go from here? (Woah-oh-oh) Hey

[03:31.22] Really I have no idea (All I know is, all)

[03:32.97] All I know is every time I think I hit my ceiling (Yeah, oh)

[03:36.47] I go higher than I've ever fuckin' been (Damn)
