5th Child - The Climb Lyrics

Don't let them shut your dreams down, got me reminiscing back when I was 17 now
Lotta niggas hated, ain't no way that they believe I'd make it
They was taking shots and now they on the rebound
I wish a nigga would, Chizzle choppin' trees down
Crushing all them bustas who be plotting on the king's crown
Used to give them much attention, focused on my team now
VN for you peons who be peeing with the seats down
Crabs in a bucket, they gonna bring you bad luck
I'ma be the crab to pull them other crabs up
When we all get involved, whether logs or the straw
All it really takes is one to break the camel back, handle that
Tiny little flame melting candle wax
Even though the candle's way bigger, just imagine that
Just a metaphor for you to think on
So once you turn the heat on, then they can't tell you nothing when you channel that

Shawty, come on, come on
Sayin shawty come on
Shawty, come on, come on
Sayin, shawty come on
You know it make them mad when they see you don't stop
Whine when you shine cause you grind when they not
I'm just getting started, don't believe me just watch
And if you bout that climb you can see me on top
Sayin shawty come on

When your brother wins that just means your family's on the come up
Take it as motivation to make it to where you wanna
Pardon the testimony, don't mistake me for no stunna
But I remember days when I was aching from the hunger
But I'm good now, belly looking full now
Gained a little weight but you ain't gotta hate, come and fix a plate
When I'm straight, then you straight, and it's circulating fresh
Until a sucka violating cause he's threatened by success
Seeing Jay and Bey on TV and it hurts you in your chest
Lames steady counting sheep and another nigga check
Seems like once you get a deal, jokers coming out the deck
Trying to cut a nigga, over here that don't get no respect
See now if you bout that Climb, be a ladder for your kind
Everybody coming up, ain't nobody left behind
But when leaders in the front, people hate to see them shine
You ain't never heard of chains? Stupid, that's how they designed

Come on
Shawty, come on, come on
Sayin shawty come on
Shawty, come on, come on
Sayin, shawty come on
You know it make them mad when they see you don't stop
Whine when you shine cause you grind when they not
I'm just getting started, don't believe me just watch
And if you bout that climb you can see me on top
Sayin' shawty come on
