[Verse 1]
Music is my calling
I know you see me dialing
Know that I won't fold
Like the shit you put a file in
Every single day I am just trying to get a smile in
But they've been looking at me, like Hendersin you're wilding
But fuck em, yeah they don't know what it took
Forget the same page we ain't on the same book
And I've been working night and day, they said I'd threw my life away
I gave it what I had left now I got right to say

[Bridge]
It's been a long time coming ,and it's time to stop running no where
(No where)
And I almost had to leave cause I just couldn't breath no air
(No air)

It's been a long time coming ,and it's time to stop running no where
(No where)
And I almost had to leave cause I just couldn't breath no air
(No air)


[Chorus]
Throw your hands high, like you're reaching for the sky
Just ask why not instead of why, why
And we reaching for the stars
And we're driven like cars
We know that the world still us
Don't hold us down (No), just hold it down
Don't hold us down (No), just hold it down
[Verse 2]
So what you know about a dollar and a dream?
No I am not a mascot, but I did it for my team
Yeah I did it for my state, for those kids who can relate
David Blaine with the pain, they just need that escape
Yeah they gonna hate I am just hoping that you know
That somebody can't do it, well they quick to tell you no
They probably gonna say that your dream it's just a waste
First you make em it their words then you ask em how it's taste

[Bridge]
It's been a long time coming ,and it's time to stop running no where
(No where)
And I almost had to leave cause I just couldn't breath no air
(No air)

It's been a long time coming ,and it's time to stop running no where
(No where)
And I almost had to leave cause I just couldn't breath no air
(No air)


[Chorus]
Throw your hands high, like you're reaching for the sky
Just ask why not instead of why, why
And we reaching for the stars
And we're driven like cars
We know that the world still us
Don't hold us down (No), just hold it down
Don't hold us down (No), just hold it down
Na, na, na, na-na-na
Na, na, na, na-na-na
Na, na, na, na-na-na
Na, na, na, na-na-na...

[Chorus]
Throw your hands high, like you're reaching for the sky
Just ask why not instead of why, why
And we reaching for the stars
And we're driven like cars
We know that the world still us
Don't hold us down (No), just hold it down
Don't hold us down (No), just hold it down
