High Road lyrics

Let's go you all

These people are running off at the mouth

Trying to convince me that I'm running on empty

Trying to convince themselves that the record with Jay was a fluke

That the record that I'm making is a mistake and I can't take this

Lemme tell you where I'm at with this

You bastards are gonna have to take back that shit

I'm not plastic and fake

When I make tracks I take facts and lay them out for the masses

You assholes are gonna see soon that I'm not playing

And start asking me the names that I'm not saying

But I'm trying to be bigger than the bickering

bigger than the petty name calling

under the breath talking

rumors and labels and categorization

I'm like a struggling doctor, no patients

But you can say what you want about me

keep talking while I'm walking away

[Chorus:]

You can say what you have to say

'cause my mind's made up anyway

I'm taking the high road going above you

this is the last time that I'm gonna trust you

You can say what you have to say

'cause my mind's made up anyway

all that bullshit you talk might work a lot

but it's not gonna work today

You people are running off at the mouth

Trying to make me take myself off safety

Trying to make my friends turn their backs on the team we built

building up some mistaken information

and I can't take this

lemme spell it out plain for you

angry groups complain about the things we do

I'm not changing direction, I'm stepping my game up

Maintaining my name, the same way I came up

You're gonna see that I'm not playing

And start asking me the names that I'm not saying

but I'm trying not to mention the names of people who wanna siphon attention

You like the hype but pretending you're part of the picture wont pass

You're like a high school dropout, no class

You can say what you want about me

keep talking while I'm walking away bitch

[Chorus]

Why does it always have to be

Somebody's always watching me

All I really need is some room to breathe

Is anybody out there listening?

'cause I can't stand to keep this in

All I really want, I'll say it again
