Levels Lyrics

My mama said to get it, and never regret it

So when I speak I never edit, believe it if I said it

It's for my people fuck the credit I'll grab the bar and raise it

Being strong and doing nothing's not a cause for celebration

So forgive me to the self-proclaimed bosses and pimps

Who'd rather get comped at the bar

Then get along with their kids

Sometimes I'm at a loss man, is it all for the chips

You're barely getting paid, was it all for the chicks

Then why, do you abuse them? Is it all for the hits

Rather trend for a minute than be men until the finish

Were we meant to be these gimmicks

Human hash tags pursuing cash grabs

While the ruling class gets the last laugh

Shorty said that she's a brand, damn

And youngin' sold his soul on Instagram, and

I'm here doing my best, to fill in the blanks for these youngins

But it seems like they would rather just hang, man

I'm saying can't we do better than this

Let's aim higher see if heaven exist

Let's dig deeper than the devil I'm convinced

That I can climb and find some new levels to shit. I'm saying

I'm saying can't we do better than this

Let's aim higher see if heaven exist

Let's dig deeper than the devil I'm convinced

That I can climb and find some new levels to shit. I'm saying

My mama said to live it, 'fore I'm gone bet your ass I did it

Fucked up, wrote it all down, and then I spit it

I got back up, I fell back down, I can admit it

That's the life of a man. See, in spite of your plans

You gotta fight to advance, so lace my gloves

Tape 'em up. I learned to love the taste of blood

At the final bell I raise 'em up

Remind myself when times are hell

The times I fell they made me tough

Define myself by my spine

Won't sell out cause they're ain't enough

Money. Fuck how they judge me, nobody's above me

And nobody's below me, except some dead homies

In their honor, I set aside my deadbeat father

With 3 flat tires I still keep driving I'm a rider

And a real shit provider. There's few and far between

I got a gif, just like a picture moving on a screen

I spot a bridge, that sits between you and all your dreams

But you gotta live, first you gotta lift, your head up out of this

I'm saying can't we do better than this

Let's aim higher see if heaven exist

Let's dig deeper than the devil I'm convinced

That I can climb and find some new levels to shit. I'm saying

I'm saying can't we do better than this

Let's aim higher see if heaven exist

Let's dig deeper than the devil I'm convinced

That I can climb and find some new levels to shit. I'm saying

My mama said later in life when you look back

You could never accurately predict those who would crack

Under pressure. The stress of being a man is understated

The difference between a hero or villain is complicated

So I try not to judge. Most break before they make it

That's why we fake it 'til we make it

Worried maybe we ain't shit

And god forbid you show it, just a moment of weakness

Some fool's there clicking, photographing all your secrets

Then you're defined by you at you worst

But in my eyes

What seems like the end of our lives should be our birth

Just when you feel like you're running out of time

There's a burst

Just when I feel like I'm going out my mind and that I'm cursed

Some good shit happens 'cause I put in work. Fuck a verse

I'm prepared by my pain. The world's a stage and I'm rehearsed

Opportunity knocked, I told my dame to grab her purse

We out, like getting tagged before first, but first

I'm saying can't we do better than this

Let's aim higher see if heaven exist

Let's dig deeper than the devil I'm convinced

That I can climb and find some new levels to shit. I'm saying

I'm saying can't we do better than this

Let's aim higher see if heaven exist

Let's dig deeper than the devil I'm convinced

That I can climb and find some new levels to shit. I'm saying
