Ascend Lyrics by XV

Ultimatium

2020

[Verse 1:]
100,000 hands have you ever seen
Crowds packin' out the stands what a silly dream
They used to doubt the kid, 'Billy Jean'
Because I wasn't big on this little scene
I went to where they couldn't see
1985 I arrived like Ivan Drago
Tried to follow my life was Rocky fightin' Apollo
Went the distance, took a loss and split decision
Quick collisions with friends who ain't get the vision
I've been given this mission so I go on it like even
Wanted like Morgan Freeman
Mouth water like I've been teethin'
Treasure this more than breathin'
You gave me all of these reasons
To keep unlockin' achievements now we even

[Chorus]
We go high they go low
When we try they say, "no"
We don't stop, we just go
'Til the top, here we go
They pretend, we ascend
They pretend, we ascend
They pretend, we ascend
They pretend, we ascend
We excel, let's begin
We rebel, don't fit in
We might fail, 'til we win
We prevail in the end
They pretend, we ascend
They pretend, we ascend
They pretend, we ascend
They pretend, we ascend

[Verse 2:]
Don't pretend like you was the homie
When knowin' you never know me
Don't phone me if that shit phony
Only when my shit goin' they hit me like they been on me
Fade they music softly
Wade make them get off me
Then sage the place shortly
I came in the game and remain with same homies
Since that boy from Kansas the names ain't change on me
New state of mind only change made fo' me
Walk that path made fo' me
Please pray fo' me
I got friends, I don't know where they went
Soul blow in the wind
In the end, I just hope they ascend
Weight lifted like I go to the gym
They say, "You gifted. Stop holdin' it in."
Well I'ma show 'em again

[Chorus]
We go high they go low
When we try they say, "no"
We don't stop, we just go
'Til the top, here we go
They pretend, we ascend
They pretend, we ascend
They pretend, we ascend
They pretend, we ascend
We excel, let's begin
We rebel, don't fit in
We might fail, 'til we win
We prevail in the end
They pretend, we ascend
They pretend, we ascend
They pretend, we ascend
They pretend, we ascend
