Intro (spoken, calm but tense)
Yeah…
Living low, aiming high…
Funny how the floor teach you how to fly.
Hook
Living low, getting high just to balance the pain,
Head in the clouds but my feet in the rain,
Started with nothing, now I’m managing change,
Praying my kids never carry these chains,
Living low, getting high just to silence the noise,
Trying to be a man, not a product or toy,
If I fall, I rise, I ain’t losing my poise,
Built from the dirt, now I’m building my boys.
Verse 1
I was broke with a dream and a pocket full of lint,
Mama stressing bills, I was plotting every cent,
City tried to cage me, I was born with a bent,
For the throne, for the zone, for the life I was meant,
I was low with the wolves, tryna howl through the static,
Every loss left a scar, every scar automatic,
Had to learn how to love when the world so dramatic,
Had to turn all this trauma to capital magic,
Living low, I was high off a hope and a prayer,
Now I’m high off a grind and a fold in the air,
People smiling in pics but they broken in layers,
I was silent in pain, now I’m vocal in prayer,
Had demons on my shoulder, angels fighting for rent,
Every blessing I earned had a price and a dent,
They see glory and gold but ignore what I spent,
Every win got a bruise, every bruise got me bent.
Pre-Hook
I been numb, I been high, I been sober in storms,
Tried to heal all the scars with the glow of the dawn,
If I fall, I get up, put my soul in a form,
Turn the hurt to a legacy, grow it for them.
Hook
Living low, getting high just to balance the pain…
Head in the clouds but my feet in the rain…
Started with nothing, now I’m managing change…
Praying my kids never carry these chains…
Verse 2 (double-time Joyner flow)
They don’t know what it cost just to stand on your square,
Every loss left me raw, every win left me scared,
I was low in my mind, now I’m high off my prayer,
Trying not to repeat what my father prepared,
Living low in the gutter with visions of heaven,
Had to crawl through the mud just to reach me a blessing,
Every door that was closed tried to teach me a lesson,
Now I’m building a life where my kids feel protected,
I been high off the grind, not the smoke, not the drink,
Every thought in my head got a bridge not a sink,
They chasing the clout, I’m just chasing my kin,
Trying to leave them a crown, not a habit or sin.
Bridge (melodic, pain tone)
If I die, let them say I was trying to change,
Let them say I was more than the smoke and the rage,
Living low made me humble, getting high made me brave,
But my soul stayed sober while my heart was in flames…
Final Hook (anthem energy)
Living low, getting high just to balance the pain,
Head in the clouds but my feet in the rain,
Started with nothing, now I’m managing change,
Praying my kids never carry these chains,
Living low, getting high but my vision stay clear,
Turned the fear into fuel, now the future is near,
If I fall, I rise, put the crown in my gear,
From the dirt to the throne, yeah I’m built for this
