Higher - DJ Khaled feat Nipsey Hussle & John Legend

We The Best Music

Mmm, yeah, oh
DJ Khaled

Ya keep takin' me higher and higher, yeah
Don't you know that the Devil is a liar
I know, they'd rather see me down
Put my soul in the fire
But we keep going higher, higher

Uh, look
My granny eighty-eight, she had my uncle and then
A miscarriage back to back every year for like ten
Pregnant with my moms, doctor told her it was slim
Was bed-rode for 9 months but gave birth in the end
Pops turned 60, he proud what we done
In one generation, he came from Africa young
Said he met my moms at the Century Club
Los Angeles love, kinda like Hussle and Boog
Emani turned 10, Kross turned 2
Startin' to see this life sh_t from a bird's view
We the ones that made millions off the curb fool
And this rap sh_t ten, never made nerd moves (Yeah)

Hey (Whoa)
Ya keep takin' me higher and higher, yeah (Hussle)
(Khaled) Don't you know that the Devil is a liar (Ay)
I know, they'd rather see me down (Right back)
Put my soul in the fire
But we keep going higher, higher (Whoa, whoa)
(Nip talk to 'em)

Emptied out the clip, it was broad day
F_ck n_ggas always gotta learn the hard way?
We gon' tape it off if we ball play
Put a half a moon crescent on your bald fate
Police hit the lights, that's a car chase
Lookin' back at my life made my heart race
Dance with the devil and test our faith
I was thinkin' chess moves, but it was God grace
Crooked ass whoever, 'til we all straight
With no shame my peep game and it's all faith
South Central state of mind, high crime rate
Homicide, hate, gang bangin' and get you all day
(Yeah) But look at my faith

Ya keep takin' me higher and higher, yeah
(Told Khaled bounce the four 'til the bar break)
Don't you know that the Devil is a liar
I know, they'd rather see me down
Put my soul in the fire
But we keep going higher, higher

Higher, oh Lord
Can you feel it
My shoes is scrapin' the sky
I'm so high
We keep goin' higher
