Lyrics: 8hoop, Nomasgood(BADX)
Music: 8hoop, Nomasgood(BADX)
We climb with borrowed breath
Hands numb from holding on
Every step is measured
Every name gets worn
The ground is never even
It tilts the higher we go
You learn which lines to follow
And which ones not to know
They say the view is worth it
When you finally arrive
But nobody tells you
What it costs to stay alive
We don’t look back
We don’t slow down
Every crown is taken
From someone on the ground
If I let you stand
I lose my place
So we smile and keep on climbing
In this summit game
We don’t look back
We don’t slow down
Every crown is taken
From someone on the ground
If I let you stand
I lose my place
So we smile and keep on climbing
In this summit game
Promises feel lighter
The closer you get up there
We trade them for position
And call it fair
Your footsteps fade behind me
I hear them in my head
We both know what this takes now
Some get lifted, some get left
I don’t ask for mercy
You don’t ask it too
But nobody tells you
What it costs to stay alive
We don’t look back
We don’t slow down
Hands are clean
But the truth is loud
I don’t hate your face
I just choose my name
We don’t look back
We don’t slow down
Every crown is taken
From someone on the ground
If I let you stand
I lose my place
So we smile and keep on climbing
In this summit game
