High Road (feat. John Legend)

Let's go, y'all! These people are running off at the mouth Tryna convince me that I'm running on empty Tryna convince themselves that the record with Jay was a fluke That the record that I'm making is a mistake, and I can't take this Let me tell you where I'm at with this You bastards are gonna have to take back that shit I'm not plastic and fake When I make tracks, I take facts and lay 'em out for the masses You assholes are gonna see soon that I'm not playing And start asking me the names that I'm not saying But I'm tryna be bigger than the bickering Bigger than the petty name-calling, under-the-breath talking Rumors and labels and categorization I'm like a struggling doctor, no patience But you can say what you want about me Keep talking while I'm walking away (bitches!) You can say what you have to say 'Cause my mind's made up anyway I'm taking the high road, going above you This is the last time that I'm gonna trust you You can say what you have to say 'Cause my mind's made up anyway All that bullshit you talk might work a lot (yeah, yo) But it's not gonna work today (not gonna work today) You people are running off at the mouth Tryna make me take myself off safety Tryna make my friends turn their backs on the team we built Building up some mistaken information, and I can't take this Let me spell it out plain for you Angry groups complain about the things we do I'm not changing direction, I'm stepping my game up Maintaining my name, same way I came up You're gonna see that I'm not playing And start asking me the names that I'm not saying But I'm trying not to mention The names of people who wanna siphon attention You like the hype, but pretending you're part of the picture won't pass You're like a high school dropout, no class And you can say what you want about me Keep talking while I'm walking away (bitch!) You can say what you have to say 'Cause my mind's made up anyway I'm taking the high road, going above you This is the last time that I'm gonna trust you You can say what you have to say 'Cause my mind's made up anyway All that bullshit you talk might work a lot But it's not gonna work today (not gonna work today) Why does it always have to be Somebody's always watching me? All I really need is some room to breathe, breathe, breathe (yeah) Is anybody out there listening? 'Cause I can't stand to keep this in All I really want, I'll say again, 'gain, 'gain (like that) You can say what you have to say 'Cause my mind's made up anyway I'm taking the high road, going above you This is the last time that I'm gonna trust you You can say what you have to say 'Cause my mind's made up anyway All that bullshit you talk might work a lot But it's not gonna work today (not gonna work today)
