Higher [Official Audio]

[00:01.16] Yeah

[00:03.92] You know, I've been around for a while now

[00:06.90] Not sure if I have much left to prove

[00:09.91] Yeah I do, haha

[00:12.40] I look at me now, I'm thinkin, "Damn"

[00:14.15] How proud of me I am

[00:15.38] What I did is nothin' to sneeze at

[00:16.91] Even if your allergies are bad

[00:18.64] I'm up in a balcony in France

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

[00:21.90] How they surround me in the stands

[00:23.43] Probably could drown in a sea of hands

[00:25.16] They're hollerin', "Shady" ("Shady")

[00:26.65] Yelling it out to me and that's what I mean when I say

[00:29.17] That one day someway, somehow, if I get the chance to get a crowd

[00:31.63] I'd flip it around and have a crowd give me the chants

[00:34.93] (I've done it all, man)

[00:35.91] But in actuality, I haven't, yet

[00:38.93] Where am I supposed to go from here? (Woah-oh-oh) Hey

[00:42.67] Really I have no idea (All)

[00:45.41] All I know is every time I think I hit my ceiling (Yeah, oh)

[00:47.67] I go higher than I've ever fuckin' been (My only question is)

[00:51.14] Where am I supposed to go from here? (Woah-oh-oh) Hey

[00:55.18] Really I have no idea (All I know is, all)

[00:57.91] All I know is every time I think I hit my ceiling (Yeah, oh)

[01:01.39] I go higher than I've ever fuckin' been

[01:03.42] Got no time for no haters in this bitch

[01:05.92] Or toleration for this shit

[01:06.88] But like medication, my dedication

[01:07.88] And the time it takes to do this shit

[01:08.38] Reminds me of how an overcrowded hospital waiting room'll get

[01:09.66] What I mean is maybe I have more patience (patients) than I'm able to admit

[01:16.97] Yeah, but I'm still mentally stable as a three-legged table in this bitch

[01:20.23] Fame was a switch, but I was grateful to trade this shit for the trailer with a hitch

[01:23.47] That it would make me a raving lunatic

[01:25.47] But I made it through my situation, I hit pay dirt

[01:28.21] Now I get paper like a stapler in this bitch

[01:30.94] But just 'cause I made a little bit of change

[01:32.23] Don't mean I've changed a little bit

[01:34.01] Brain full of wit, dangerous, can't extinguish this English language when it's lit

[01:36.75] And I'm just berating you with it, it's Shady 'til I'm eighty-two

[01:39.51] I'll spit this crazy, even Dre, he knows (nose) I'ma blow

[01:43.50] Better get the handkerchief again, haha

[01:45.76] Where am I supposed to go from here? (Woah-oh-oh) Hey

[01:47.51] Really I have no idea (All)

[01:49.25] All I know is every time I think I hit my ceiling (Yeah, oh)

[01:52.01] I go higher than I've ever fuckin' been (Know I talk about this shit a lot, my only question is)

[01:56.75] Where am I supposed to go from here? (Woah-oh-oh) Hey

[02:00.26] Really I have no idea (All I know is, all)

[02:02.50] All I know is every time I think I hit my ceiling (Yeah, oh)

[02:06.23] I go higher than I've ever fuckin' been

[02:08.33] Oh, now what am I gonna do?

[02:09.58] Can't nothing hold me, I'm on the loose

[02:11.06] Born a winner, damn, it's so hard to lose

[02:12.81] I can do it even when I'm tryin' to

[02:14.32] When my record flops, it still go through the roof

[02:16.06] This atmosphere's for a chosen few

[02:17.55] Who was on they grind makin' money moves

[02:19.05] And you ain't gon' get there if you watered-down

[02:20.82] You gotta take shots with a hundred proof (Check it out)

[02:22.58] Been in survival mode

[02:23.80] Since a five year old, it was I alone

[02:25.80] Since my trike was stole, spiral notebook and microphone

[02:28.55] But lookin' back how bad it was then

[02:30.57] If it hadn't been for the pad and the pen

[02:32.06] Addict mom and deadbeat dad

[02:33.29] I wouldn't have had the savage within havin' to win

[02:35.29] Every single battle I'm in

[02:36.54] All I ever wanted was to be an emcee

[02:38.30] Tediously I wrote obediently, believing in me

[02:40.53] EPMD must've had teachin' degrees

[02:42.05] Learned to defeat enemies with the ink, thinkin' of these rhymes

[02:44.80] Would be as Eazy as E

[02:46.57] And graffiti would be like remedial readin' to me (Yeah)

[02:48.83] 'Til my last breath leaves my lungs

[02:50.08] I'ma beat my drum (Yeah) for the streets I'm from (Yeah)

[02:52.06] The East side slums (Yeah), gotta remind 'em (Yeah)

[02:54.82] I'll take a foe out (Yeah), like fee-fi-fum

[02:56.58] You see my finger (What?), you see my thumb (What?)

[02:58.82] You see my fist, fuck a peace pipe, I'm (What?)

[03:01.31] Here for the smoke but it's not the weed I want (What?)

[03:03.56] With this beat I brung for the beef I've come (Woo)

[03:04.64] But you better bring it if you wanna reply from

[03:05.64] 'Cause for you to be lyrically inclined, it'd be a steep climb up

[03:07.39] That'll be an uphill battle

[03:08.39] But I'm up like your feet in a recliner

[03:09.41] And I think I'm about to go out on a limb like a tree climber

[03:12.14] Time to push my ceiling higher 'cause

[03:14.64] Really I have no idea (All)

[03:15.88] Where am I supposed to go from here? (Woah-oh-oh) Hey

[03:19.89] All I know is every time I think I hit my ceiling (Yeah, oh)

[03:22.87] I go higher than I've ever fuckin' been (For the last time, my only question is)

[03:27.39] Where am I supposed to go from here? (Woah-oh-oh) Hey

[03:30.88] Really I have no idea (All I know is, all)

[03:34.89] All I know is every time I think I hit my ceiling (Yeah, oh)

[03:37.10] I go higher than I've ever fuckin' been (Damn)
