over ;

you got so much to prove, hoping they approve, the only thing that's true is all you ever do is do, you're moving shoe to shoe but you're not going, you stop growing, the moment that you stay at the top. the only way is to drop, freefalling down the stairs that you climbed up, lined up to freely mount the air, but you dare not air drop, tied up like a hair knot. hiking down without a chance of stepping on a fair rock and so, you stand still in a stand-still, hands still building castles on a sand hill, "man chill," is what your friends say but you're not hearing what little men say.

anyway, keep on going, and taste the stars,

keep on growing, and raise the bar,

you're living life for the a-s down to the z-s,

after the hill you got a mountain to seize.

you are an overachiever, do what it takes 'til it takes everything you are. you are an overachiever, do what it takes 'til it takes everything you are.

who can tell? your living is an organized hell, the mansion of your mind just an oversized cell, the pressure, everything is done to a measure, in the sea of competition sunk like a treasure. like a feather falling slow spiraling to the floor, strung up like a broken violin to your course. opportunity is knocking at your door but you never left a welcome mat, it doesn't matter anymore.

or anyhow, but you're too late to turn back, fate pushing you into the wall like a thumbtack. ain't no comebacks in this game of life, roll the dice again, roll it once, never twice.

keep on going, and taste the stars,

keep on growing, and raise the bar.

you're living life for the a-s down to the z-s

after one drop you got a fountain to seize.

wanna break from the world, but the world wanna break you, the weight makes your backbone curl up and make you an overachiever, do what it takes 'til it takes everything you are.
