The Climb

I built a wall, I built it strong, I built it tall

And every single day it's just another climb

Worked so long and hard and I still got nothing at all

There ain't no reason to this grind

Heart is cold, my soul is old, my wall is stone

If you came for free love, don't waste your time

I built a wall, I built it strong, I built it tall

An' every single day, it's just another climb

So don't waste my time

Unless you came to climb

Unless you came to climb

Brick by brick, flesh and bone

Bow here behind this all wall alone

Protecting this heart, carved in stone

The stone is a diamond, it's part of my throne

Part of my throne that's the seat of a king

I'm looking for a queen, I mean no more gin

Where you at, baby cat? What your tattoo be?

What's your history? Tell your mystery

A private dancer? Hold up pause it

Baby, everybody's got some bones in their closet

They just hating, it's out shit chatter

And the feels of a heart girl it really don't matter

Lime to the lemon, lemon to the lime

If murder was an order, I'd make your heart mine

I'd put it in a box to cherish for all time

Your love will never perish girl just make the climb

I built a wall, I built it strong, I built it tall

And every single day it's just another climb

Worked so long and hard and I still got nothing at all

There ain't no reason to this grind

Heart is cold, my soul is old, my wall is stone

If you came for free love, don't waste your time

I built a wall, I built it strong, I built it tall

An' every single day, it's just another crime

So don't waste my time

'Cause every day the grind, it just gets harder

Unless you came to climb

And the final finish line keeps looking farther

Don't waste my time

They need another sheep out to the slaughter

Unless you came to climb

I'm brushing my teeth with holy water

Don't waste my time

One step away from my damnation

Unless you came to climb

Two days away from my starvation

Don't waste my time

Gotta pay for my daughter's medication

Unless you came to climb

So I'll sell you a piece of my salvation

Don't waste my time

I built a wall, I built it strong, I built it tall

And every single day it's just another climb

Worked so long and hard and I still got nothing at all

There ain't no reason to this grind

Heart is cold, my soul is old, my wall is stone

If you came for free love, don't waste your time

I built a wall, I built it strong, I built it tall

And every single day it's just another crime

Don't waste my time

Unless you came to climb

Unless you came to climb
