[01:24.82]how much it'a cost me
[01:26.00]To get you out my business
[01:27.25]I set a plan,
[01:28.31]it's a short term goal,
[01:29.50]no sky is the limit
[01:30.50]I'm past that, now pass that
[01:31.79]Award, not one but four
[01:33.60]Times two plus yours
[01:35.22]I see myself performing there, K.dot
[01:37.79]Sold out shows
[01:38.47]where the room is packed
[01:39.53]Sitting at the Grammy's
[01:40.72]winning five awards
[01:41.66]See myself on big billboards
[01:44.07]Traveling around the world
[01:45.38]with endorsement deals
[01:46.25]Can't imagine how it feels
[01:48.33]That's why I'm smiling everyday
[01:50.83]Because my dream ain't far away
[01:52.71]
[01:53.39]I'm so high
[01:54.79]I can touch the sky

[02:08.08]ain't nothing better
[02:10.27]
[02:11.15]You looking at me
[02:12.08]and you tell me I'm blessed
[02:13.15]Calculated my steps,
[02:13.83]my heart, my breath
[02:15.16]Breathe hums?
[02:15.85]of a victory and vividly
[02:16.85]You see me when at my best,
[02:18.35]my worst
[02:18.91]This verse dedicated
[02:19.73]to the days that I slept
[02:21.29]With a curse research
[02:22.22]my paid dues I'm reimbursed
[02:23.35]I burst in the crowd
[02:24.76]with a voice and crown
[02:26.22]I'm a King on the prowl
[02:27.66]and I see mama smile?
[02:28.73]And I vow on the tape
[02:29.99]that I'll never break
[02:30.74]You can break bread with me now
[02:32.11]We can all take a bow
[02:33.24]on the edge of the pedestal
[02:34.21]Then scream out loud
[02:35.52]that we made it off the avenue
[02:36.90]And walked that mile
[02:37.71]In the darkness
[02:38.27]I often sit back
[02:39.21]And get lost
[02:39.90]in the rap that I wrote
[02:41.09]When you told me
[02:41.83]that it spoke to your soul
[02:42.77]I was talking to you
[02:43.59]I was walking it
[02:44.18]through every ghetto
[02:45.18]Tell success hello
[02:46.62]We here
[02:47.62]And I'm so happy I cry
[02:49.80]Cause I can't believe
[02:51.74]All the things I ever wanted
[02:54.05]Are finally happening for me
[02:56.93]And it's so surreal
[02:58.49]That I almost feel
[03:00.55]That any minute I can wake up
[03:03.09]From this fantasy
[03:04.27]When you pray so hard
[03:07.02]
[03:07.52]And you've come so far
[03:09.55]And you know that
[03:10.93]it's the time
[03:11.87]for you lift your bar
[03:13.80]
[03:14.49]And I'm gonna do it
[03:17.12]
[03:17.80]Watch me!
[03:18.43]I'm so high
[03:19.80]I can touch the sky
[03:21.99]I know it's my time
[03:24.44]And it's now or never
[03:26.38]
[03:26.94]Shine so bright,
[03:28.88]I light the night
[03:31.07]And it feels so right,
[03:32.76]
[03:33.32]ain't nothing better
[03:35.41]
[03:36.16]I'm so high
[03:37.91]I can touch the sky
[03:39.91]I know it's my time

[03:51.20]ain't nothing better

We on?
Aight

Sleepwalking on another big stage

A record sold for me
It's just more of me in your ear
For you to hear Kendrick persevere
Defenses I feel relentless
Ambition with a clear vision
Takin' off I ain't
