Everlast - The Climb Lyrics

I built a wall I built it strong I built it tall
An every single day is just another climb
Work so long and hard an I still got nothing at all
There ain't no reason to this grind
Heart is cold my soul is old my wall is stone
You came for free love don't waste your time
Built a wall I built it strong I built it tall
An every single day is just another climb

So don't waste my time
Unless you came to climb
Unless you came to climb

Brick by brick flesh and bone
I'm out here behind this old wall alone
Protecting this heart carved in stone
The stone is a diamond its part of my throne
Part of my throne that's the seat of king
I'm looking for a queen nah mean norma jean
Where you at baby girl with your tattoo key
What your history tell your mystery
A private dancer hold up pause it
Baby everybody got some bones in their closet
They just hating it's all chit chatter
In affairs of the heart girl it really don't matter
Lime to the lemon, lemon to the lime
If murder was an art I'd make your heart mine
I' put it in a box to cherish for all time
Your love will never perish girl lets make the climb

I built a wall I built it strong I built it tall
An every single day is just another climb
Work so long and hard an I still got nothing at all
There ain't no reason to this grind
Heart is cold my soul is old my wall is stone
You came for free love don't waste your time
Built a wall I built it strong I built it tall
An every single day is just another climb
So don't waste my time
Cause everyday the grind it just gets harder
(unless you came to climb)
That final finish line keeps looking farther
(Don't waste my time)
They leading all the sheep out to the slaughter
(unless you came to climb)
Im brushing my teeth with holy water
(Don't waste my time)
One step away from my damnation
(unless you came to climb)
Two days away from my starvation
(Don't waste my time)
Got to pay for my daughters medication
(unless you came to climb)
So I'll sell you a piece of my salvation
(Don't waste my time)

I built a wall I built it strong I built it tall
And every single day is just another climb
Work so long and hard an I still got nothing at all
There ain't no reason to this grind
Heart is cold my soul is old my wall is stone
You came for free love don't waste your time
Built a wall I built it strong I built it tall
An every single day is just another climb
So don't waste my time
Unless you came to climb....
