Ah, ah, you You've got me feeling emotions Ay, higher, oh Ah, ah, you You've got me fe E, whoa, yes Don't link me Don't hit me when you hear this and tell me your favorite song Don't tell me how you knew it would be like this all along I know the truth is you won't love me until I'm gone And even then the thing that comes after is movin' on I can't even capture the feeling I had at first Meetin' all my heroes like seein' how magic works The people I look up to are goin' from bad to worse Their actions out of character even when they rehearse Workin' in the land of the free, the home of the brave I gotta bring my brothers or else I feel out of place Breakin' speed records on roads that these niggas paved And they don't like that, it's written all on they face I don't know how I'ma make it out of here clean Can't even keep track of who plays for the other team Iconic duos rip and split at the seams Good-hearted people are takin' it to extremes Leavin' me in limbo to question what I believe Leavin' me to ask what's their motive in makin' peace Leavin' me to not trust anybody I meet Leavin' me to ask is there anybody like me? You've got me fe E, whoa, yes Ah, ah, you You've got me fe E, whoa, yes Aye Missin' out on my years There's times when I wish I was where I was Back when I used to wish I was here Missin' out on my days Scrollin' through life and fishin' for praise Opinions from total strangers take me out of my ways I try and see who's there on the other end of the shade Most times it's just somebody that's underage That's probably just alone and afraid And lashin' out so that someone else can feel they pain I always hear people complain about the place that they live That all the people here are fake and they got nothin' to give 'Cause they been starin' at somebody else's version of shit That makes another city seem more excitin' than it is I know a girl whose one goal was to visit Rome Then she finally got to Rome And all she did was post pictures for people at home 'Cause all that mattered was impressin' everybody she's known I know another girl that's cryin' out for help But her latest caption is "Leave me alone" I know a girl happily married 'til she puts down her phone I know a girl that saves pictures from places she's flown To post later and make it look like she still on the go Look at the way we live I wasn't hidin' my kid from the world I was hidin' the world from my kid From empty souls who just wake up and look to debate Until you starin' at your seed, you can never relate Breakin' news in my life, I don't run to the blogs The only ones I wanna tell are the ones I can call They always ask, "Why let the story run if it's false?" You know a wise man once said nothin' at all I'm exhausted and drained, I can't even pretend All these people takin' miles when you give 'em an inch All these followers but who gon' follow me to the end I guess I'll make it to the end and I'ma find out then Ah, ah, you You've got me fe Aye Higher, higher Ah, ah, you You've got me fe E, whoa, yes Aye Higher, higher
