Don't Look Down

Sometimes I go up on the roof
 And I walk across the ledge
 I be careful not to trip 'cause if I slipped then I'd be dead
 I don't do it for adrenaline or do it for the rush
 No, I do it just for proving to myself I got the guts
 Deep inside me it reminds me that the stakes are very high
 Might not live to see the morning any moment I could die
 Furthermore that going for it is the meaning of my life
 Like to think that you could see it when you look me in the eye
 I was not always a expert walking ledges hopping roofs
 When I started being daring I's so scared I couldn't move
 Still I'd go up to the top and didn't stop 'cause I was spooked
 All I needed was some practicing to get into my groove
 A technique that I developed since the day that I was born
 When my heart gets started beating way more faster than the norm
 When the plot is getting stranger and I know that I'm in danger
 of being splattered on the ground
 I never look down
 To overcome a feat
 I might look at my feet
 But I never look down
 Once I made up my mind
 And I might take my time
 But I never look down
 To overcome a feat
 I might look at my feet
 But I never look down
 Once I made up my mind
 And I might take my time
 But I never look down
 When my psoriasis is bad and I'm invited to the beach
 Goodness gracious my temptation is to fret beyond belief
 Yesterday on my right shoulder it was visible and pink
 I got caught up in imagining what everyone would think
 When I got there no one noticed so it wasn't even bad
 But I think about the way I'd have responded if they had
 Being shallow is for ***holes, being vain is being lame
 I got all that figured out and worry bout it just the same
 I was talking to my homey when a pretty girl arrived
 Later on into the night, she had picked up on my vibe
 It did not take very long before I thought that I could smash
 Paid attention when I spoke when I made jokes then she would laugh
 Could have worried that she'd come across a patch and find it gross
 Go from sitting in my lap to tryna snap and tryna roast
 But instead I kept it focused
 Later on when I suggested we get closer
 she was down
 Because I didn't look down
 To overcome a feat
 I might look at my feet
 But I never look down
 Once I made up my mind
 And I might take my time
 But I never look down
 To overcome a feat
 I might look at my feet
 But I never look down
 Once I made up my mind
 And I might take my time
 But I never look down
 Being an independent rapper isn't always fun and games
 'Specially me as I'm an artist that don't never sound the same
 Since I'm constantly rethinking
 how I think and how I rap and how I act
 Every record like I gotta start from scratch
 It raises questions far as makin' scratch
 But I won't choke out my spirit with a fear of falling flat
 I been riddled with anxiety and ravaged by disease
 Till I realized it's from worrying 'bout who I gotta please
 If I worried 'bout the critics, getting rich or getting old
 Then I'd never have the strength to tell the stories that I've told
 If I constantly was burdened by the thought that I could fail
 I could never be a soldier cause my soul might be for sale
 I feel fortunate to fork over the cost of being fly
 Doing stuff that's super easy while I'm really really high
 And I know that if I fell it was would be fatal
 what keep me able to cultivate my sound
 Is that I never look down
