Part 1: Ascension
(Chorus:)
Don’t wanna come down cause, I’m just too high up
Can't feel the ground below, just wind in the sky yeah
The stars shine bright on me, the moon is so blinding
Up into the unknown, my eyes burn from the light
Ascension, I ascend
Ascension, I ascend
Ascension, I ascend
Ascension, ascension
(Verse:)
Where is the moon, it seems to left space
Suns always out, way too hot in this place
Nights are shorter and they’res longer days
It’s 9PM, the sun is still shining away
In my eyes, lost my mind and my soul
So many stories still untold
I’m too young to feel so old
Running up and down this burning summer road
The city of angels, bringing me closer to the man Himself
So don’t ask where I’m heading
(Chorus:)
Don’t wanna come down cause, I’m just too high up
Can't feel the ground below, just wind in the sky yeah
The stars shine bright on me, the moon is so blinding
Up into the unknown, my eyes burn from the light
Ascension, I ascend
Ascension, I ascend
Ascension, I ascend
Ascension, ascension
(Outro:)
I make to the pearly gates, don’t know where I am
I talk to the man Himself, and I tell him “I understand”
I point to the ground and ask him to look around
I make a promise to do the best as long as I’m allowed
On Earth, on Earth, on Earth
Part 2: On Earth
(Intro:)
Good morning, good morning, good morning
You’re the one I’ve been waiting for
To see you prosper
And be the me I knew you could be
I’ve been waiting for you
Good morning
(Verse:)
Good morning, we’re gathered here in mourning
Came up without warning, now I’m reaborning
Came up out the mud, on a chair with a story to share
I spoke to the Devil in prayer, hands in the air
Knelt in the temple aware of actions I bared
Awoke to rebellious glares, counting the squares
Dreams of being a rap star are really just dreams of success
The dream of achieving what I can and putting my mind to rest
The dream of thinking, doing, and being my very best
The dream of satisfaction, that's all I'm trying to access
I don't want women, money, cars, man flip the fame
I've never been into flashy rings and flashing gold chains
Take this chain off my neck, I'm not gonna be nobody’s slave
I’m not changing my face, not changing my name
And I say that with no shame, on a lust for fame
Make a grand on a graham, cause nothing was the same
I think I see it now, the right lane, remember my name
Jumping into the flame, but drowning in grace
I’ve had dreams of reaching the top and no ones gonna stop it
I want the game on lock and key, throw away the key, never unlock it
Everything I do in life, imma do my damnedest to top it
Cooking in the kitchen, screw and choppin’
And as long as I’m Earth, I’ll never die
And as long as I’m Earth, I’ll never die
The confidence to jump off the roof and hope I fly
Rather be buried alive, then to die, with no goodbye
Maybe one day I’ll tell you the story of my mental
Or how words so spiritual can come from one so cynical
Maybe one day, I’ll tell you how to pull up out the mud
And read a page from me, but for now the book shut
(Chorus:)
Told y’all I was more than rich
Middle class American
Spiritually set for life
Just trying to get the money right
My hope will never be lacking
God make sure my heart stacking
And that my mind stays alive
As long as I’m on Earth
(Bridge:)
This the motto, say with me
(Outro:)
Keep the hustle while I’m on Earth
And get down to climb outta the dirt
Keep the hustle while I’m on Earth
And get down to climb outta the dirt
Keep the hustle while I’m on Earth
And get down to climb outta the dirt
Keep the hustle while I’m on Earth
And get down to climb outta the dirt
(Chorus:)
Don’t wanna come down cause, I’m just too high up
Can't feel the ground below, just wind in the sky yeah
The stars shine bright on me, the moon is so blinding
Up into the unknown, my eyes burn from the light
Ascension, I ascend
Ascension, I ascend
Ascension, I ascend
Ascension, ascension
