Mmm, yeah, oh DJ Khaled
You keep takin’ me higher and higher, yeah But don’t you know that the Devil is a liar I know, they’d rather see me down Put my soul in the fire But we keep going higher, higher
Uh, look My granny eighty-eight, she had my uncle and then A miscarriage back to back every year for like ten Pregnant with my moms, doctor told her it was slim Was bed-rode for 9 months but gave birth in the end Pops turned 60, he proud what we done In one generation, he came from Africa young Said he met my moms at the Century Club Los Angeles love, kinda like Hussle and Boog Emani turned 10, Kross turned 2 Startin’ to see this life shit from a bird’s view We the ones that made millions off the curb fool In this rap shit ten, never made nerd moves (Yeah)
Hey (Whoa) You keep takin’ me higher and higher (Hussle) yeah (Khaled) But don’t you know that the Devil is a liar (Ay) I know (Right back) they’d rather see me down Put my soul in the fire But we keep going higher, higher (Whoa, whoa) (Nip talk to ’em)
Emptied out the clip, it was broad day Fuck niggas always gotta learn the hard way? We gon’ tape it off if we ball play Put a half a moon crescent on your bald fade Police hit the lights, that’s a car chase Lookin’ back at my life make my heart race Dance with the devil and test our faith I was thinkin’ chess moves, but it was God grace (The Devil is a liar) Crooked ass whoever, ’til we all straight With no shame, I peeped game and it’s all fake South Central state of mind, high crime rate Homicide, hate, gang banging’ll get you all day (Yeah) And look at my fate
You keep takin’ me higher and higher, yeah (I told Khaled bounce the four ’til the bar break) But don’t you know that the Devil is a liar I know, they’d rather see me down Put my soul in the fire But we keep going higher, higher
Higher. Oh, Lord Can you feel it? My shoes is scrapin’ the sky I’m so high We keep goin’ higher
