Ice-T
Another Level
[Verse 1]
I didn't fall to negativity, I stayed strong
I pushed past all adversity and hate
You never believed in anything I tried to do
All my dreams to you were nothin' but a fuckin' waste
I elevated my grind, I rose above the pain
I came, I conquered, never quit, yes, I fuckin' won
Now you're hatin' 'cause I'm winnin' and you fuckin' lost
You said I'd never be shit

[Chorus]
Now I'm on another level
A whole different level
I'm on a different fuckin' level
Now I'm on another level
I'm on another level
A whole different level
I'm on a different fuckin' level

[Verse 2]
No way that you could bring me down, you can't get in my brain
Your life is miserable, I'm on a higher plane
All you non-believers, I chose to beat the game
They said I didn't have what it takes

[Chorus]
Now I'm on another level
A whole different level
I'm on another level
[Bridge]
Yeah, you know what it's like
First startin' out
You got dreams, everybody got dreams
Nobody believes
Nobody believes you're gonna, you're gonna pull it off
They say why waste your time
I was in the hood, they say, "Ice
Just get high with us man, just chill man
You ain't never gonna get outta here"
That's some bullshit
"We black, man, we're supposed to be poor"
I was like, "fuck that shit"
Man, there's things I got to do with my life man
I ain't gonna lay around here
I'm gonna bust my mothafuckin' ass whether you believe in me or not
I hustle my ass off night and mothafuckin' day

[Chorus]
Now I'm on another level
I'm on another level
A whole different level
I'm on a different fuckin' level
Now I'm on another level
I'm on another level
A whole different level
I'm on a different fuckin' level
