Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woke up to a message that I never sent
Two A.M. decisions got me off the fence
Now I'm chasing paper while they chase the clout
Same block different roadmap I been figuring out
Mama said I'm different and I know she's right
Used to pray on corners now I pray on flights
Put my whole heart in a duffel full of dreams
Every scar a story every setback a scheme
[Pre-Chorus]
I been grinding quiet while the city sleeps
Counting all the miles that the pavement keeps
When they see the surface they don't see the deep
But I built this mountain from a single peak
[Chorus]
Yeah they watching from the sideline now
Funny how they never made a sound
Now the whole world spinning on my ground
Yeah they watching from the sideline now
[Verse 2]
Phone calls from my cousins saying stay the same
Hard to keep a pulse when the pressure rains
Every blessing got a tax on your name
Every enemy just fuel for the flame
I don't do the fake love can't afford the cost
Loyalty is priceless everything else is lost
If I chase the bag I might miss the dawn
But the sunrise coming and I'm moving on
[Pre-Chorus]
I been grinding quiet while the city sleeps
Counting all the miles that the pavement keeps
When they see the surface they don't see the deep
But I built this mountain from a single peak
[Chorus]
Yeah they watching from the sideline now
Funny how they never made a sound
Now the whole world spinning on my ground
Yeah they watching from the sideline now
[Bridge]
Maybe I'm too honest maybe I'm too raw
Maybe I'm a lesson that they never saw
Maybe I'm the thunder and they just the pause
Maybe I'm the reason that the walls all fall
[Chorus]
Yeah they watching from the sideline now
Funny how they never made a sound
Now the whole world spinning on my ground
Yeah they watching from the sideline now
