I′m 36000 feet up, as I stroke with the pen
And still the basement the highest place I've ever been
On a flight back to the states cause I just left the homeland
Naija got my heart, cause that′s where all my folks at
My soul always takes a leap forward, when I go back
Inspired by my roots my mind wanders like a nomad
Thinking change starts, when you give the shirt off of yo back
And in the mud's exactly where you need to plant a rose at
My stomach been turning but I never need a Prozac
It just means I'm hungrier than ever
I never was impressed by the chains and the bezels
And I′ll still feel the same even when I have several
The women getting severed, that means that imma cut then they get cut
If you never saved a sliced for me you′ll never get a cut
Didn't help out with my basement, so you can′t see my penthouse
Now we moving up so they down to stay like the rent down
Women want my love, but their calls are rarely answered
I might call her baby, but she never getting pampered
I look at most the women that I dated and I'm baffled
Cause none of them touch even then floor of all my standards
My wifey gon be one in a million, that Aaliyah vibe
Moving urgent, but I know to wait like it′s BMI
And we doing numbers every season like it's CSI
And the life we living leads to what hells and TMIs
I see the light anytime I talk to my Dad
I′m intimidated by the weight he has on his back
There's so many that's dependent on him solely for provisions
I wonder if I′d do the same if placed in his position
He told me that the least we can do is be a symbol
Of hope by giving back, and be a blessing to the children
To have more means, that you need less
And I′ll be richer if I see the poor and reinvest
I got some policies and boundaries, to reassess
I need to focus on my family and reconnect
I gotta see more than me just to reach my best
I gotta stop chasing birds, and just to feed the nest
I gotta keep chasing goals, and I'll hit the net
I gotta stick to my wits, while they stick to bets
I know God gon protect, when they hit the vest
I know my shadow is my mother′s silhouette
36,000 feet up, still this height ain't the highest
In the basement, I look down and see the sky
My star are realigned, the timing is divine
Your songs got me gripping my stomach, like the heimlich
Laughable, what you put to tape ain′t really shifting capital
Cause you got cap on lock, it's irrational
Key is to escape all the phonies, that just tag along
Niggas don′t run empires, but they Babylon
Talking like they king but they barely made jester
Full of themselves so they empty with they gestures
Claim they knew I'd blow, when they were always narcoleptic
I'm now, so we take offense, when people say we next up
Renown on the web, on Tik Tok applying pressure
What they write on wax, got me bored like a lecture
How many times, we gon spin the block on every record
There′s more that the kids need to hear, and imma tell it
Like Salt in the Dead Sea I could never settle
Focused on my drive then it clicked like a windows PC setup
You never get the gold
When you in other niggas biz, is the only time you meddle
I just checked my bezel, and it′s telling me it's high time
Give them all the bars, I connect to them like WI-FI
I reach they souls, and it made me millions
Came from the basement, but we never really saw a ceiling nah
