Buddy, Kendrick Lamar - Staircases lyrics

Staircases take me high (High)
Escalators take me high (High)
Ladders take me high (High)
Elevators take me high (High)
Staircases take me high (High)
Escalators take me high (High)
Ladders take me high (High)
Elevators take me high (High)

Started at the surface so my goal is up
Cause once you stay down then
You gon' get stuck
And I'm just trying to climb and grind
The same time dangling off rooftops is what
I call our hangtime
Walking through the hall, counting my flaws
My ego got caught in a elevator wall
Got it out, raised it to the rooftop, damn
Got to take the ladder
Cause the escalators jammed
Made it to the top but I ain't even stopping
I said a prayer and a wish and
Turned my skateboard to a rocket
I'm gone, to the skies
I'm nothing more than another rebel
But I'm still trying to take
It to another level get up out the ghetto
Maybe hop up on the shuttle
Jello with a piece of metal
My foot on the pedal
People say the world could fit
Into a little pebble
Then give me one good reason why
You think we should settle
(Let's get it off)

Staircases take me high (High)
Escalators take me high (High)
Ladders take me high (High)
Elevators take me high (High)
Staircases take me high (High)
Escalators take me high (High)
Ladders take me high (High)
Elevators take me high (High)

Look inside my eyes
You can see the universe fly
Deep inside my pupils the aliens camouflaged
Another way to shoot you
My mind is of mass destruction
I'll drop a gallon of Henny in
The Big Dipper then dive
Bitches skinny dipping in my orbit
Ever seen a Martian? Gorgeous
Or some UFO porsches
I live inside the air plus I wear Air Jordans
So the mic is always near
Me whether swaggin' or recordin'
Journey on my voyage
You know the sky is the limit
But it's ironic that method
Never applied to Kendrick
I catapult over your telescope
And when I'm finished
I grab the fire that's burning from
Mars to light an incense
This rapping's just a metaphor and
I deserve a medal for
Writing another metaphor, about ambition
I envision me taking off astronautin' myself
Fuck the world
I'll beat that bitch with the Orion's belt

Staircases take me high (High)
Escalators take me high (High)
Ladders take me high (High)
Elevators take me high (High)
Staircases take me high (High)
Escalators take me high (High)
Ladders take me high (High)
Elevators take me high (High)

As I'm floating all alone
I looked up and I start thinking
In a moment I'll be gone
Getting high so I'm not sinking
As I'm floating all alone
I looked up and I start thinking
In a moment I'll be gone
Getting high so I'm not sinking
Getting high so I'm not sinking

Staircases take me high (High)
Escalators take me high (High)
Ladders take me high (High)
Elevators take me high (High)
Staircases take me high (High)
Escalators take me high (High)
Ladders take me high (High)
Elevators take me high (High)
