Lyrics Higher Ground - Jack Freeman , George Young

OOOOOHHH AAHHHHHH
OOOOOHHH AAHHHHHH
As i sit and watch the waves crash from Higher Ground
I was tryna get away from all them siren sounds
Now I can't wash the past away, I'm never looking down
Unless its to see how far I've come, How far I've Come

Drivin through the hills of Texas
Hard labor in the sun to fund this brilliant message
Skill perfecting, Rehearsing verses got me missing exits
Was on the verge of giving up, back to give my best shit
A couple real ones ride for George and what I'm driving towards
See we can set the destination, can't decide the course
Bills in envelopes kept this mail(male) out of sorts
Love never loved me back, shit all i had was rhymes and chords
Not a late bloomer, just alot of niggas primes was short
Robbie taught, a mothers love can't save you when its time for court
My guiding force, survived it all cept the Ice Age
Seen a lot of brilliant lights fade, before the 9th grade
This for my dreamers, heavy lifting for a light wage
Just know that you a star, and its time to find yo bright stage
Still can taste the fruits of yo labor, at this ripe age
In my books most vital chapter, finally on the right page

As i sit and watch the waves crash from Higher Ground
I was tryna get away from all them siren sounds
Now I can't wash the past away, I'm never looking down
Unless its to see how far I've come, How far I've Come

Getting high up in the hills of Cali
This is how i wanna live exactly
Til i reach my highest ground it's just these dips and valleys
From empty clubs to shows that look like presidential rallies
I feel at ease in this Pacific breeze
Like Christmas Eve with all these lit up trees
In rare form, but be so quick to leave
Back home, to where they only bare arms, so ain't no tricks up sleeves
Took a deep breath, to medicate on an untainted beach
I prayed for peace, and the faith to flee, when shit just ain't for me
Shame to see, people that you love ain't who they claim to be
Stick ya neck out for the wrong ones, they'll leave you hanging G
And some will take the sneaks right off your dangling feet
Ain't taking no more bullets that ain't aimed for me
Shit i got demons of my own, just tryna slay the beast
Fall back, do the most and say the least

As i sit and watch the waves crash from Higher Ground
I was tryna get away from all them siren sounds
I can't wash the past away, I'm never looking down
Unless its to see how far I've come, (How far ive come)
How far I've Come
