(Pre-Hook)
And I just wanna be the one
To reach the top before I fall (fall)
And I just wanna be the one
To get it and have it all (all)

(chorus)
But I been away to long
And I been so gone
I am losing my self
I have some pain that ain't heal
These wounds ain't good for my health
I gotta pick myself up and up again
And I gotta pick myself up and up again

(Verse One)
Falling soldiers, bunch of shit on my shoulders
Thought it’ll get better as I got older
But the world just got colder
Heavy like boulders, ima loner
No one on my corner, no one on my side
Times like this I wonder who is gon ride
When the tide gets high and you drowning in pain
Liquor ain't doing the same, feels like you’re dodging the rain
The pain’s robbing your sane, you fall and complain
See a cuffing with your name, like nothing remains
But would you fight when you stumble and let the world defeat you
Do you want heaven to great you or the earth to keep you?
You only live once, so what are you living for?
You only had enough when you can’t give anymore

(Pre-Hook)
And I just wanna be the one
To reach the top before I fall (fall)
And I just wanna be the one
To get it and have it all (all)

(chorus)
But I been away to long
And I been so gone
I am losing my self
I have some pain that ain't heal
These wounds ain't good for my health
I gotta pick myself up and up again
And I gotta pick myself up and up again

(Verse Two)
Quit my job now relying on my good karma
All these problems could be solved with some new commas
Took a risk now I hope its gon pay off
I’m off every day but still won’t take a day off
Grinding like my life is on the line
Shot clock losing time, too much shit on my mind
I stress too much and I ain't blessed enough
Out of touch with my old friends
New relationships seem shorter than slogans
Do you cry tears of pain? Or tears of joy?
Tears of joy don’t exist for this boy
Living in a world that either make you or destroy
So I keep my head up as I try to block the noise

(Pre-Hook)
And I just wanna be the one
To reach the top before I fall (fall)
And I just wanna be the one
To get it and have it all (all)

(chorus)
But I been away to long
And I been so gone
I am losing my self
I have some pain that ain't heal
These wounds ain't good for my health
I gotta pick myself up and up again
And I gotta pick myself up and up again
