Higher Ground Lyrics

(Intro)
Reaching for high x32

[Verse 1: Will Levine]
I'm reaching for higher ground
It might be a stretch
But I will do my best
Put myself to the test

Not worried about the rest
Get the fear off of my chest
I'm always wanting more
Not settling for less

If you want to witness this
You can be my guest

I'm reaching for the higher ground
Aiming at the clouds

Just keep climbing up
Never looking down

I want to reach the higher ground
Try to be the best

Keep climbing and climbing
Reach the apex of Mount Everest

I want to be on the top
Like a mountain peak

Be the alpha dog
Too bad I don't speak Greek

It's more about mentality
Rather than my physique

Because i can climb to the top with proper tech-nique
I want to be the king
Where they calling me King Midas

Make other rappers servants
They address me as their highness

You had better show some respect
And show some kindness
Because if you don't
It's going to be a problem
Like a plus and minus
And I might break your arm
And give you tendinitis
I'm not being cruel
I'm just being righteous
This beat is by TNGHT
I had to cite this
The snares in the background
Is the sound
Booming
When I walk down
The red carpet
In UK or Paris
I'm busy all the time
I need a day off like I'm Ferris
If you're using social media
Don't be afraid to share this
I want to reach the highest ground
But you could probably care less
And this right here's my life
And I need to cherish
Because I was rapping me
The day it occurred to me
In roughly one year
I'll be going to University
Majoring in killing raps
And doing verbal surgery
Someone call 91-1
This is an emergency
I said this song would be safe
I killed it is that perjury?
My name is Will Levine
Have you heard of me?
(Outro)
If you haven't heard of me
You've heard of me now
I'm still reaching
I'm still reaching for it
Alright now I'm going to let y'all
Just listen to the rest of the instrumental
