The Climb

[Chorus] I built a wall I built it strong I built it tall And every single day it's just another climb Worked so long and hard and I still got nothing at all There ain't no reason to this grind Heart is cold, my soul is old, my wall is stone If you came for free love, don't waste your time I built a wall I built it strong I built it tall Every single day it's just another crime Don't waste my time Unless you came to climb Unless you came to climb [Verse 1] Brick by brick Flesh and bone Bow here behind this all wall alone Protecting this heart Carved in stone The stone is a diamond It's part of a throne Part of my throne, that's the seat of a king I'm looking for a queen, I mean no more gin Where you at, baby cat, what you tattoo be What's your history? Tell your mystery A private dancer? Hold up, pause it Baby, everybode got some bones in their closet They just hating, it's all shit chatter And the feels of a heart, girl it really don't matter Lime to the lemon, lemon to the lime If murder was an order I make your heart mine I'd put it in a box to cherish for all time Your love will never perish, girl, just make the climb [Chorus] I built a wall I built it strong I built it tall And every single day it's just another climb Worked so long and hard and I still got nothing at all There ain't no reason to this grind Heart is cold, my soul is old, my wall is stone If you came for free love, don't waste your time I built a wall I built it strong I built it tall Every single day it's just another crime Don't waste my time [Verse 2] Cause everyday the grind, it just gets harder Unless you came to climb And final finish line keeps looking farther Don't waste my time They need all the sheep out to the slaughter Unless you came to climb I'm brushing my teeth with holy water Don't waste my time One step away from my damnation Unless you came to climb Two step away from my starvation Don't waste my time Gotta my daughter's medication Unless you came to climb So I'll sell you a piece of my salvation Don't waste my time [Chorus] I built a wall I built it strong I built it tall And every single day it's just another climb Worked so long and hard and I still got nothing at all There ain't no reason to this grind Heart is cold, my soul is old, my wall is stone If you came for free love, don't waste your time I built a wall I built it strong I built it tall And every single day it's just another crime Don't waste my time Unless you came to climb Unless you came to climb
