The Climb Lyrics

[Intro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We improvin this shit fast

OK


Is that a Storm beat


BWAH


[Verse 1]

On the way up from the bottom

Skatin by, no fucks

Not a lot of idols I see (Nope)

Dreamin high then crash at sea (They be crashin)

Different path what I want to be (What I'm aimin)

Sirens sounding haunting me (They hauntin)

Voices last and repeat

Sirens sounding trappin me

Keep on walkin, just not talkin

Towers rise but topple often

Persevere to build wealth (Stack it)

Make sure you maintain yo health (Yeah)

Narcoleptic blood if tested (Don't test me)

Pushing forward, antiseptic

Cleanse yo mind from all these demons (Remove them)

Fuck with me, its treason


[Chorus]

Nigga I'm climbin, and glidin, and slidin

And groovin, and rulin, and movin on up

Ain't love for those who be actin tough

Only real love for the ones who stuck

Lookin for those who don't mind the rough

This gem shines so you should trust

In a real nigga who does as he must

Dodging pines, landmines, and rust


[Verse 2]

Buildin, Stackin

Always, Packin

Climbin, North

No, Abort

This is what I wanna do (My path)

Reach the masses and improve (Yeah)

All these brains to push up

Culture squashed, rinsed, cut

Workin on me cuz I need it

Dark thoughts, I must bleed it (Cut it out)

Kick thump, heart pump

Always ready for the jump (Always, jumpin)

Cuz I move fast in big bounds (Yeah)

Progress fast cuz brain big mound (Quick, yeah)

Learnin lessons that compound (Yeah)

You snow ball quick all the way down


[Chorus]

Nigga I'm climbin, and glidin, and slidin

And groovin, and rulin, and movin on up

Ain't love for those who be actin tough

Only real love for the ones who stuck

Lookin for those who don't mind the rough

This gem shines so you should trust

In a real nigga who does as he must

Dodging pines, landmines, and rust


[Verse 3]

Trim the fat just like a butcher (Trim it)

Faithful one, nah I mistook you

I'm with that just like a butcher

Double rap, yeah its well placed

Not you so get out my face (Get out it)

Lot of baggage but small waist (Itty bitty)

Only one that has a place

Spot closed off so end the race (End it)

Not for me but for you women

Ain't that tempted, soul be driven (Rock solid)

On the path up to success

Have I mentioned the pink dress (Maybe next time)

Stick around cuz they be mo'

Great things I do with this flow

Something that I know will last

Follow behind on sled tracks


[Chorus]

Nigga I'm climbin, and glidin, and slidin

And groovin, and rulin, and movin on up

Ain't love for those who be actin tough

Only real love for the ones who stuck

Lookin for those who don't mind the rough

This gem shines so you should trust

In a real nigga who does as he must

Dodging pines, landmines, and rust


[Bridge]

Even though I do not say

I appreciate

All those round me and stay

Ten toes down when mind at bay

Mute kid grown up changed ways

But I'm still the same

But better person, claimed

Movin up all retained


[Chorus]

Nigga I'm climbin, and glidin, and slidin

And groovin, and rulin, and movin on up

Ain't love for those who be actin tough

Only real love for the ones who stuck

Lookin for those who don't mind the rough

This gem shines so you should trust

In a real nigga who does as he must

Dodging pines, landmines, and rust
