The Climb |
I built a wall |
I built it strong |
I built it tall |
And every single day, it’s just another climb |
Worked so long and hard and I still got nothing at all |
There ain’t no reason to this grind |
Heart is cold, my soul is old, my wall is stone |
If you came for free love, don’t waste your time |
I built a wall |
I built it strong |
I built it tall |
Every single day, it’s just another climb |
Don’t waste my time |
Unless you came to climb |
Unless you came to climb |
Brick by brick, flesh and bone |
Bound here this behind this wall alone |
Protecting this heart, carved in stone |
The stone is a diamond, it’s part of a throne |
Part of my throne, that’s the seat of a king |
I’m looking for a queen, nah mean, Norma Jean |
Where you at, (baby gal, what’s your tattoo key?) |
What’s your history, tell your mystery |
A private dancer, hold up, pause it |
Baby, everybody got some bones in their closet |
They just hatin', it’s all chit-chatter |
And the feels of a heart, girl it really don’t matter |
Lime to the lemon, lemon to the lime |
If murder was an art, I’d make your heart mine |
I’d put it in a box to cherish for all time |
Your love will never perish, girl, just make the climb |
I built a wall |
I built it strong |
I built it tall |
And every single day, it’s just another climb |
Worked so long and hard and I still got nothing at all |
There ain’t no reason to this grind |
Heart is cold, my soul is old, my wall is stone |
If you came for free love, don’t waste your time |
I built a wall |
I built it strong |
I built it tall |
Every single day, it’s just another climb |
Don’t waste my time |
Cause everyday the grind, it just gets harder |
Unless you came to climb |
And final finish line keeps looking farther |
Don’t waste my time |
They need all the sheep out to the slaughter |
Unless you came to climb |
I’m brushing my teeth with holy water |
Don’t waste my time |
One step away from my damnation |
Unless you came to climb |
Two days away from my starvation |
Don’t waste my time |
Gotta pay for my daughter’s medication |
Unless you came to climb |
So I’ll sell you a piece of my salvation |
Don’t you waste my time |
I built a wall |
I built it strong |
I built it tall |
And every single day, it’s just another climb |
Worked so long and hard and I still got nothing at all |
There ain’t no reason to this grind |
Heart is cold, my soul is old, my wall is stone |
If you came for free love, don’t waste your time |
I built a wall |
I built it strong |
I built it tall |
Every single day, it’s just another climb |
Don’t waste my time |
Unless you came to climb |
Unless you came to climb |
