Higher Lyrics by Eric Krasno, Wax, Talib Kweli

Light Years

2024

Been down the lonely road
Been down but got back up and
Been where you don't come back
Been through rain and fire
Nowhere to go but higher
Nowhere to go but higher
Nowhere to go but higher
Higher, higher
Where there's smoke, you know there's fire
Whenever they go lower, there's nowhere to go but higher
Spitting quotes from the Messiah, hitting notes like Mariah
This greatness takеs patience, they rushin' likе Stolichnaya
Anything your soul desire, they'll find a way to provide it
Just as long as you're willingly making some sacrifices
The television was our religion, but that no longer satisfies us
Now social media pacifies us
Following these packs of liars over the cliffs of confusion
They chase the fame but it's just an illusion
I'm part of the foundation, I got my blood in the blueprint
My music will take you higher like you're substance abusing
I grab the mic like I got nothing to lose but still got something to prove
It's not a job because I love what I do
Bars, they can't explain how fire sound 'til I'm around
I got the whole entire town looking for higher ground
Been down the lonely road
Been down but got back up and
Been where you don't come back
Been through rain and fire
Nowhere to go but higher
We going up
Nowhere to go but higher
We going up
Nowhere to go but higher
We going up
Higher, higher
Been to the bottom of the barrel but I crawled out
Focus on a whole new level, I'm going all out
Journey to the top of that mountain, took the long route
'Til I hit the pinnacle there ain't much to talk about
I can see it, let's get it, I'm committed
If you dream it, you can live it, I speak on it 'cause I did it
I leveled up many levels above
Any level anyone ever said I was capable of
Anybody telling you that you can't make a recovery
Clearly they ain't been fucking with me
People always trying to knock you down, do not let 'em
My words lift you so high you would have thought God said 'em
They like, "He's so raw he must have lost his mind"
Truth is, I'm going off 'cause I'm making up for lost time
This music gets in my bones, man, I'm fired up
The only place that I'm going is higher up
Been down the lonely road
Been down but got back up and
Been where you don't come back
Been through rain and fire
Nowhere to go but higher
We going up
Nowhere to go but higher
We going up
Nowhere to go but higher
We going up
Higher, higher
We won't stop, we've got to keep climbing, higher, higher, higher, higher
When we're up on top we'll be shining, higher, higher, higher
Nowhere to go but higher, nowhere to go but higher
Nowhere to go but higher
Nowhere to go but higher
