He said I just wanna climb Mount Everest
And I'ma make it to the top you can bet on it
They say it's freezing, but my heart's already colder than ice
I been fiending for that elevation, craving new heights
She said I just wanna make it out the gutter
If the trenches is the valley, then I'm under ground
Barely breathing I'm suffocating, tryna make it through the mud
Feigning for that elevation, hoping I see the sun
Up too high you can't turn back here
So you keep climbing and climbing and climbing and climbing again
You don't wanna lose it lose it lose your mind
You don't wanna end up running out of oxygen up there
Hope you can survive the wind up there
You don't wanna lose it lose it lose your mind
You don't wanna end up running out of oxygen
You're standing on thick ice but you're breathing in thin air
He said why would I be scared of being killed by an avalanche?
If I was supposed to be dead I would've died in Chiraq
I'm from the Windy City, you know that breathing ain't easy
And the cold ain't kill me, they probably thought it would freeze me
She said I'm from the low end, but I wanna go up high
I don't mean to sound like Kanye, but I wanna touch the sky
Is Jesus walking with me?
If He is, I need him to move this mountain just a little bit closer
Up too high you can't turn back here
So you keep climbing and climbing and climbing and climbing again
You don't wanna lose it lose it lose your mind
You don't wanna end up running out of oxygen up there
Hope you can survive the wind up there
You don't wanna lose it lose it lose your mind
You don't wanna end up running out of oxygen
You're standing on thick ice but you're breathing in thin air
You can stay grounded and be in the sky all at the same time
If you keep a level "head in the clouds", you're never gonna have to come down
You don't wanna lose it lose it lose your mind
You don't wanna end up running out of oxygen up there
Hope you can survive the wind up there
You don't wanna lose it lose it lose your mind
You don't wanna end up running out of oxygen
You're standing on thick ice but you're breathing in thin air
