Higher - DJ Khaled, Nipsey Hussle, John Legend

We The Best Music

Mmm, yeah, oh

DJ Khaled

Ya keep takin' me higher and higher, yeah

Don't you know that the Devil is a liar

I know, they'd rather see me down

Put my soul in the fire

But we keep going higher, higher

Uh, look

My granny eighty-eight, she had my uncle and then

A miscarriage back to back every year for like ten

Pregnant with my moms, doctor told her it was slim

Was bed-rode for 9 months but gave birth in the end

Pops turned 60, he proud what we done

In one generation, he came from Africa young

Said he met my moms at the Century Club

Los Angeles love, kinda like Hussle and Boog

Emani turned 10, Kross turned 2

Startin' to see this life shit from a bird's view

We the ones that made millions off the curb fool

And this rap shit ten, never made nerd moves (Yeah)

Hey (Whoa)

Ya keep takin' me higher and higher, yeah (Hussle)

(Khaled) Don't you know that the Devil is a liar (Ay)

I know, they'd rather see me down (Right back)

Put my soul in the fire

But we keep going higher, higher (Whoa, whoa)

(Nip talk to 'em)

Emptied out the clip, it was broad day

Fuck niggas always gotta learn the hard way?

We gon' tape it off if we ball play

Put a half a moon crescent on your bald fate

Police hit the lights, that's a car chase

Lookin' back at my life made my heart race

Dance with the devil and test our faith

I was thinkin' chess moves, but it was God grace

Crooked ass whoever, 'til we all straight

With no shame my peep game and it's all faith

South Central state of mind, high crime rate

Homicide, hate, gang bangin' and get you all day

(Yeah) But look at my faith

Ya keep takin' me higher and higher, yeah

(Told Khaled bounce the four 'til the bar break)

Don't you know that the Devil is a liar

I know, they'd rather see me down

Put my soul in the fire

But we keep going higher, higher

Higher, oh Lord

Can you feel it

My shoes is scrapin' the sky

I'm so high

We keep goin' higher
