Текст песни High Road (feat. John Legend) - Fort Minor , John Legend

Let's go, y'all!

These people are running off at the mouth
Tryna convince me that I'm running on empty
Tryna convince themselves that the record with Jay was a fluke
That the record that I'm making is a mistake, and I can't take this
Let me tell you where I'm at with this
You bastards are gonna have to take back that shit
I'm not plastic and fake
When I make tracks, I take facts and lay 'em out for the masses

You assholes are gonna see soon that I'm not playing
And start asking me the names that I'm not saying
But I'm tryna be bigger than the bickering
Bigger than the petty name-calling, under-the-breath talking
Rumors and labels and categorization
I'm like a struggling doctor, no patience
But you can say what you want about me
Keep talking while I'm walking away (bitches!)

You can say what you have to say
'Cause my mind's made up anyway
I'm taking the high road, going above you
This is the last time that I'm gonna trust you
You can say what you have to say
'Cause my mind's made up anyway
All that bullshit you talk might work a lot (yeah, yo)
But it's not gonna work today (not gonna work today)

You people are running off at the mouth
Tryna make me take myself off safety
Tryna make my friends turn their backs on the team we built
Building up some mistaken information, and I can't take this
Let me spell it out plain for you
Angry groups complain about the things we do
I'm not changing direction, I'm stepping my game up
Maintaining my name, same way I came up

You're gonna see that I'm not playing
And start asking me the names that I'm not saying
But I'm trying not to mention
The names of people who wanna siphon attention
You like the hype, but pretending you're part of the picture won't pass
You're like a high school dropout, no class
And you can say what you want about me
Keep talking while I'm walking away (bitch!)

You can say what you have to say
'Cause my mind's made up anyway
I'm taking the high road, going above you
This is the last time that I'm gonna trust you
You can say what you have to say
'Cause my mind's made up anyway
All that bullshit you talk might work a lot
But it's not gonna work today (not gonna work today)

Why does it always have to be
Somebody's always watching me?
All I really need is some room to breathe, breathe, breathe (yeah)
Is anybody out there listening?
'Cause I can't stand to keep this in
All I really want, I'll say again, 'gain, 'gain (like that)

You can say what you have to say
'Cause my mind's made up anyway
I'm taking the high road, going above you
This is the last time that I'm gonna trust you
You can say what you have to say
'Cause my mind's made up anyway
All that bullshit you talk might work a lot
But it's not gonna work today (not gonna work today)
