The Climb

[Verse 1] Yeah, uh-huh... right... Smooth as the groove that the needle is set on The move with the freedom of a queen on a chess board Explore, new techniques so I'm never bored Even when I fail to impress, I press on There's always more, cause music is infinite You can't see it all cause your viewpoint's limited Expand your frame of mind until you can picture it But no matter what lens you get, remember it's limitless Some artists get discouraged, I think I know why They're focused on the peak but I'm focused on the climb You can never know it all or master all the styles No more than you can take a photo of the whole sky Or hold all the sand in your hands at the beach Or walk on every inch of the land at your feet But even though you can't, you're still within reach I'm fascinated about the challenge so I have to speak on it [Verse 2] Right... I never write rhymes just because the beat bangs I write rhymes cause I need things I got to say I'm never forced to pen even though I'm getting paid I wouldn't care if it's a song with Nas, B.I.G. and Jay You see what I did there, I shouted out the greats Without name drop in every bar like Game That ain't even a dis so don't get it twisted It's just what my dudes say when they hear 'em spittin Everybody raps so I lie when I'm asked I say I either work behind a desk or a chef Cause if I tell the truth, they gon' ask if they can spit And I don't wanna tell 'em that they sound like shit See back in the day I probably woulda told the truth Cause hurtin people's feelings used to make me feel cool But now I got a lot less to prove I learned it's best to let people do what they do
