[Verse 1]
I wake up blessed, shoes on shine
Fresh-cut smile and a pocket full of time
Everybody call my name, I hear it ring
But I keep one eye open for everything
The good life sweet, yes, it taste so fine
Gold on the wrist, but I guard my mind
When they clap for you, they can change so fast
So I step with grace, I make each step last
[Pre-Chorus]
One bad move, one crooked friend
Sweetness first, then the sharpest end
So I dance clean, I keep my lane
High note living with a careful name
[Chorus]
High note living, high note living
Keep my heart soft, keep my head forgiving
High note living, high note living
One wrong step and the road start slipping
High note living, high note living
I thank the Lord for the joy I'm given
High note living, high note living
Smile on my face, but I still be listening
[Verse 2]
Crowd get loud when the money come near
A lot of fake love start popping up here
A pretty word can hide a blade
A sweet champagne can still get you played
So I watch the hands, and I watch the eyes
Read the room when the truth in disguise
Fame got perfume, fame got fire
Too much flame and it burn your desire
[Pre-Chorus]
One bad move, one crooked friend
Sweetness first, then the sharpest end
So I dance clean, I keep my lane
High note living with a careful name
[Chorus]
High note living, high note living
Keep my heart soft, keep my head forgiving
High note living, high note living
One wrong step and the road start slipping
High note living, high note living
I thank the Lord for the joy I'm given
High note living, high note living
Smile on my face, but I still be listening
[Bridge]
If tomorrow turns cold, I know my ground
I was raised on truth, not a paper crown
Take the shine, leave the poison behind
I want the blessing, not the blind kind
[Chorus]
High note living, high note living
Keep my heart soft, keep my head forgiving
High note living, high note living
One wrong step and the road start slipping
High note living, high note living
I thank the Lord for the joy I'm given
High note living, high note living
Smile on my face, but I still be listening
