Benny the Butcher - HIGHER lyrics

[Intro]
Summertime Butch'
These are the real Sopranos
Higher, higher, higher
We want to lift you higher
Yeah
Higher, higher, higher
This that shit
This that shit DJ Shay made me feel
This that shit he used to preach with me
We want to lift you higher
Ah, real shit, uh
Higher, higher, higher
You know (Biggest in the city)
I've been a student of this shit for so long
(I'm the biggest in this shit right now)
We want to lift you higher
It's only right, yo, uh

[Verse 1]
When the streets get a win, let's celebratе it


Hood smart, rich, melanated and educatеd
I'm on a new level, like a movin' elevator
When I jumped in, I levitated like Elgin Baylor
Imagine I'm findin' me
I'm somewhere I can find a freak (Uh-huh)
Ass so fat, I feel like
"James and the Giant Peach"
Hesitant, strange, I question
To thinkin' like "Why me?"
I got aim like a shooter and game
Like I'm Kyrie (Like Kyrie)
And I can put you on some game
That's been around for centuries
You'll see the same people
On your way down eventually (Mmm-hmm)
I'll admit we've been movin'
Like they out to get me
I made that powder kangaroo jump
Like I'm out in Sydney (Ah)
When they ask me how I feel
I tell 'em "Much better" (Better)
I'ma be up levels somewhere
When the dust settles (Settles)
This one for the crown and the crowd
Award shows, lookin' around, thinkin'
Who the fuck I'ma pass now?
I'm gettin' higher

[Interlude]
Higher, higher, higher
Yeah
We want to lift you higher
It's The Butcher
You should know me by now
Black Soprano Family
Higher, higher, higher
We the only one that inspire
We the only one that take you higher
We the only one that feed the streets
We want to lift you higher
You know what I mean? Fuck with us
Ha, fuck with us
Yeah, uh

[Verse 2]
Soon as you hear it
These words will lift you in spirit
How many people changed the world
With a mic' and a book of lyrics?
I left them pots unattended
I left my blocks in hysterics (I did)
And the hurt that I caused
To my people, it's mines to wear it
I ain't always think higher
But when flames spark fire (Spark fire)
This for my dog
Writin' letters back from Oneida
Dope, I could ghostwrite
For a rapper that don't like you
No co-pilot in the spaceship
I'm in, nor a co-signer
When you double back and
Do the unexpected, they so silent
They pray on you, but
When you the aggressor, it's no violence
Supplier's a jumbo jet, trust
That's a humble flex
Anybody that you put me
In front of in trouble next
I'm a boss, so all of my suits
Be double breast
I feel like Chapo, no way out
So I'm buildin' a tunnel next
Surrounded by y'all sheep
That don't make you lions (Nah)
It only make you liars
Let me take you higher (Ah)

[Outro]
Higher, higher, higher
We want to lift you higher
Oh-oh, higher, higher, higher
Let's go up, let's go up again, and again
Oh-oh, we want to lift you higher
Ooh-ooh, higher (Higher)
Ooh, ooh-ooh, higher
We love to lift you higher
Oh, higher (Higher)
Oh, we love to lift you higher
We love, love
We love to lift you higher
Higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher
We love to lift you higher
Higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher
We love to lift you higher
