Lyrics

Title: Higher Than Before

Ooooh... yeah yeah
From the ground up, baby
Mm, mm...

Verse 1:
Used to dream with the window open wide,
Stars in my eyes, but doubt on my mind,
Every step felt slow, every door felt closed,
But I kept that fire nobody knows,
Late nights praying for a sign,
Working hard, staying on my grind,
Now the mirror shows a different me,
Stronger than I used to be.

Bridge:
All that pressure made diamonds,
Every loss was timing,
Now I see the climbin',
Was part of the design, yeah,

Chorus:
I'm higher than before,
Ain't standing on that same floor,
Every step I take, I elevate,
Open up a better door,
No more waiting on a maybe,
No more stressing 'bout the old me,
I'm rising, shining, finally,
Becoming who I'm posed to be.

Verse 2:
Same heart, just wiser now,
Head up, can't bring me down,
What was heavy don't weigh the same,
I learned to grow through pain,
New view from the top of the stairs,
Breathing different air up there,
I don't chase what's running from me,
What's for me always finds me.

Bridge 2:
Every lesson built my name,
Every setback sparked a flame,
I was low but I remain,
And now I'm breaking chains.

Chorus 2:
I'm higher than before,
Ain't standing on that same floor,
Every move I make is legacy,
Building something more,
No more doubting what I see,
No more shrinking who I be,
I'm rising, shining, finally,
Living in my victory.

Bridge:
Ohhhh
From the bottom to the sky
Did it one day at a time
Now the mountain don't look so high
When you know your worth inside

Rap Verse:
Yeah
Started with a vision and a dollar in my hand
Now I'm building bigger plans, never folded under pressure
Used to be overlooked, now they, looking for the answer,
Pain turned to ambition, every scar my investor,
I was patient with the process, dedication my deposit
Every loss a lesson learned, now I profit from the knowledge
Ain't no ceiling where I'm headed, see the glow, that's just the credit
To the nights I kept believing,
when nobody would have bet it,
Now I'm walking like I earned it (earned it),
Talking like I learned it (learned it),
Hustle turned permanent (permanent),
Blessings all affirm it,
From the basement to the skyline view,
Stayed solid, stayed true
Now I'm moving how I'm meant to move,
Nothing left to prove.

Final Chorus:
I'm higher than before,
Yeah, I opened every door,
Every dream I held inside,
Ain't a dream no more,
I'm rising, shining, finally,
Right where I'm supposed to be,
Higher... higher...
Higher than before.
