Ladder to Olympus
[Verse 1]
They shoot lasers to the sky, made the hurricanes come
Point guns at the wind when they should've just run
Feed us trash out of orange bags
Pills when we bored or sad
Feet at the borderline
Shield and a sword of glass
They been telling me that I been dreaming too lofty
Tryna weigh me down, round, killing me softly
I been tryna show them I can do it myself
I been tryna show me I can do it
I been a creator since the dawn of my time
Got the world inside my hands because it's all in my mind
And I can people it with beats I know my heart will provide
Sanguine synchronicity as I impart blood to mine
Made a man and a woman from my blood sweat and tears
In a week I make what some did in years
Cause they live in fear
And partially they scared of me
Pictures for posterity reveal my posture's rarity
Nobody can stand shoulder to shoulder to I
They all sad, slumped, hunched over, or blown to the side
I make daily mistakes, but mine get ramifacized
I could entrance or infect you off of a cancerous vibe
I've, hit my stride, I need my benevolence
I'm with my BelovedGang, I am in my element
I don't need a John or a Paul or a Peter
Don't need peace on earth, and I don't need believers
I need deviants, delinquents, fiends deceivers
Wife beaters, NFL owners and wide receivers
So I can teach your worst to be the best of myself
Let em mutter under breathes if it helps
Cause my words are incantations
This vessel just a manifested incarnation
Of a spirit that's been trampled all over throughout the ages
But endures endowed eternal in gospel or proclamation
I don't have belief or religion, I have faith
Don't have a God except for myself, so I have grace
I accept myself, so I have grace
We living in a sad place, but happiness is that way

[Chorus - Ryan Amador]
I'm on a ladder to Olympus
And I'm trying to get home for you
On a ladder to Olympus
And I'm holdin on, holdin on
I'm on a ladder to Olympus
And I'm trying to get home for you
On a ladder to Olympus
And I'm holdin on, holdin on

[Verse 2 - Chore Boy]
I take a step toward your nestled eye
I give regards to the best goodbye
Heaven's time
And we been holding on-
I've made sacrifices and bad calls
Back against the wall, head against the asphalt
Somehow I'm still not diminished
I been on a ladder to Olympus
