lyrics

Verse 1
You lift it up
Get out of your slumber
Start again
You ‘re not yet the number one
Take a hit
You don’t need no water
Push it out
Yo limits got be higher

Verse 2
A day goes by
Just like a a thousand others
Your lifes a lie
But so’s that of your mothers
The times have changed
You wonder where it got us
Light it up
It’s better to be higher

Chorus
You hear it all the time
You read it in a letter
There’s someone on TV
There’s someone, somewhere better
A moment in your life
Can change your life forever
So break ties, and go get her

Verse Faro the Shadow
They told me I would make it
They told me I could make it anywhere if I can take it
Gotta take my chance right
Gotta get rid of the demons that talk in my head like
I’m in control now you better stay quiet I flex like my whip is a Benz right
Damn right
Sitting here I’m overthinking stuff again
I don’t care ‘bout money but time is money so baby I’m hustling
I’m suffering
From all my thoughts so yeah I puff and drink
Build and kill myself at the same time
Smiling but I bleed within
Took an L but I’m back at it
Evil thoughts I be wrecking em
Let me rap I be cracking it
Only me and the mic I ain’t packing shit
Don’t trust my mind but I trust me
Break me out of those cuffs please
Gimme time I show all of y’all that nothing really can stop me
Nothing can stop me now, know you can’t bring me down
Know you can’t, know you can’t

Chorus
You hear it all the time
You read it in a letter
There’s someone on TV
There’s someone, somewhere better
A moment in your life
Can change your life forever
So break ties, and go get her
End
You hit rock bottom now you
Reach for the top
You reach for the stars

about

Alter Real Saint Brieuc, France

Composer with an obsessional level of perfectionism, Alter Real tries here to get rid of the pop schemes to spread the spectrum of sound exploration. The result is a more spontaneous music that, freeing itself from judgements wherever they come from, creates chemistry between the numerous influences from jazz to pop or rap. ... more
