High Rises |
| Da, da, da, da |
| Da-da, da, da, da, da, da, da |
| Da-da, da, da, da, da, da, da |
| Da-da, da, da, da, da |
| Da, da |
| Little black girl from the South |
| Little black girl run her mouth |
| Little black girl don’t know where to go |
| 'Cause she like to clown and the teachers stay kickin' her out |
| Insecure, but she won’t say it out loud |
| All she wanna do is make her mama proud |
| She wanna be like them other girls, they in another world |
| She just can’t figure them out |
| Round face, thick thighs |
| Full waist, bright eyes, she |
| Wonders if they’ll judge her for her size, she |
| Doesn’t compromise, she’s |
| Seen this world before, this child is wise |
| Never busy |
| But her mind is occupied, she used to dream of high rises |
| But life is |
| Full of surpises |
| Talent comes in second place to perfect timin' |
| Used to swear that I was ready, but back then I wasn’t rhymin' |
| Funny, hunger came from stayin' in my dorm and eatin' Ramen |
| College had me stressin' |
| College had me stressin' |
| So Father grant me blessings |
| Path I’m on is lonely so, right now just help me feel yo presence |
| Gimme royal bars with the humility of mortal peasants |
| Pray that every L just stand for lesson |
| Call me Lauryn as I stand on this hill |
| I begin to survey the field |
| I wondered, just how far I’d get without a deal, 'cause |
| Anything I say is real and any line I spit is facts |
| And any dream I have is valid, so I’m never goin' back, shit |
| (Listen to that voice inside) |
| (That is where the choice resides) |
| You write the future, you know where it lies |
| I preceed judgment as anger’s disguise |
| Taking a risk will always yield a prize |
| People will tell us to follow our heart and then look at us crazy when we live |
| our lives |
| My mom, this one’s for dad |
| All of the supporters that I ever had |
| This for the principal at my highschool who said I would be nothin', |
| well look where I’m at |
| Won’t stop till I ain’t got to look at the tag |
| Till' we go out to eat and I pick up the tab |
| Took a leap on my dream now it’s all I can see |
| I’m enjoyin' the scene and I’m not lookin' back, shit |
| Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo |
| Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo |
| Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo |
| Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo |
| Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo |
| Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo |
