The Ascent by CJ Run Lyrics
Verse 1:
I was 13 living at my mums house when I counted out my first 16
BET, base MTV put me on a track that I needed to be
When I was 17 hadda college, so I went college and I like college
Now bare girls wanna give me their knowledge
Head top spins and i can’t control it
Put foot down, revving up hydraulics
All these city alcoholics, but I'm so solid I’m so on it
21 seconds to go and I floor it
We're so honest
Far from polished
Thats acknowledged tho, we acknowledge woes
Make my friends with foes
Creep into my 20’s I’m not hurried for a bentley
Give me Tommy and a Mini mister cooper
Not a liar but a truther for the most part
I’m a fucking deus word to mozart
When it comes to me I gotta roll smart
Chorus:
Why? cause I’m doing up shows, come and see me on the road
But my mums like I miss you when you coming home?
Look well I don’t know, so call me on the phone
She told me she’s proud, cause my voice so loud and
I’m so so bold
Yeah I’m gunning for throne, doing like the Targareon
And I know a lotta man are looking scared of them
But I pay no mind, attention them? No No
Nna, bia nulu onu anyi o
Nna, bia nulu onu anyi o
Hear my voice and keep my heart whole
A Leo like me does love the attention
Still can’t let that rush the ascension
Forgot to mention, I am that guy, I am that girl, run your world can’t you tell, life is sweet as dreams can sell
Hook:
I’m just gonna take my time, no you don’t have to rush me
Taking everything thats mine, don’t put no one above me
You can never break my stride, a diamond in the rough beat
(This is my philosophy, i’ll go down a proper g, major labels hot for me, they dont want no war with me)
Verse 2:
Black swan, take one, Darren Aronofsky
Might see me running on the track of the grand prix
Wanna feel Friday, even on a Lundi
Wanna wake up every day to the sunbeam
Down on my face, on a prive estate
Man for goodness sake, I’m a 10 not a 8
Not a she, but a they yet they try to erase that
Goddamn don’t you hate that?
Lotta niggas claiming that we’re bros now
But they play dumb to the pro-nouns
They, them, this that knick knack paddywack
How many times can I break it down?
I am the only one fronting my regiment
Having a hell of a time and its evident
Setting a precedent
Kill and collect all american presidents, look who the devil is!
Bow in arrow, load it up then I shoot
Only play in absolutes
If you play this game with me i hope you know you’re gonna lose
I will loosen up the screws, kick the door with marten boots
Take your posse, take your crew
Ho! one two three four five six, seven, eight
Fuck you and your syndicate,’
No weapon formed against me gets to prosper with my say in it
This here’s where my prayers went
Bout to be a fucking problem
Weekly riddims through summer
Chorus:
And I’m doing up shows, come and see me on the road
But
Mums like when you coming home?
Look I don’t know, just called me on the phone
Told me she’s proud, cause my voice so loud and
I’m so so bold
Yeah I’m gunning for throne
Doing up a Targareon
And I know a lotta man are looking scared of them
But I pay no mind, attention dem? No No
Nna, bia nulu onu anyi o
Nna, bia nulu onu anyi o
Hear my voice and keep my heart whole
Cause a Leo like me does love the attention
Still can’t let that rush the ascension
Forgot to mention
I am that guy, I am that girl, can’t you tell, life is swell, on my past I cannot dwell
Hook:
I’m just gonna take my time, no you don’t have to rush me
Taking everything thats mine, don’t put no one above me
You can never take my shine, I’m diamond in the rough beat
(This is my philosophy, i’ll go down a proper g, major labels hot for me, they dont want no war with me)
Outro:
Everybody dies, I ain’t everybody
You’re so restricted to the times and the hegemony
Would you stick it to the man if he had your money?
I got a technicolor plan if you’re running with me...
