Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wanna go higher
I wanna go higher
I wanna go higher
I wanna go higher
(Higher, baby)
I wanna go higher
(Higher, baby)
[Verse 2]
If I ever get down in the dumps
Short of a dollar, nothin' change for months
It seems to rain about every day
And all the news seems kinda gray
It's no illusion, call it reality
So I release more charge from my battery
We can rise, death defy gravity
Bring about a sense of personality
So as I walk, I look around
See some go up, some go down
There goes the mayor, his nose is brown
Guess how he gets to wear his crown
But his hands are shakin', the walls are breakin'
One day they will all fall down
Sometimes it's better that way
Makin' space for some better day
[Verse 3]
We're on the ground floor, got lots to learn
Slip to the basement and you burn
First floor and you start to fall
Out the bed clothes, answer the door
On the second I comprehend
Positive waves are what I send
Third floor and you start a flow
Tell me now, where'd you wanna go?
[Verse 4]
(Higher, baby)
I wanna go higher
(Higher, baby) (Where'd you wanna go?)
I wanna go higher
(Higher, baby)
I wanna go higher
(Higher, baby)
[Verse 5]
So tell me, baby, kinda shaky
We ain't been too friendly lately
Things sometimes turn out that way
And that is all that you gotta say
Well, that's okay, 'cause time can soothe
Like a dentist pulls out a tooth
As each new day will bring a new face
How can I make my rhyme go some place?
First of all she ask for more
I said "Sure, I don't mind at all"
The water's deep, but I'm walkin' tall
It don't matter if you're rich or poor
Ain't here to score, just raise the floor
Maximum vibe's what I'm aimin' for
I do my war dance, back to the wall
Just returnin' my native call
[Verse 6]
And that's the way that we're gettin' by and
Always keepin' you on the wire
Takin' you higher, call me a liar
But you won't 'cause you're feelin' inspired
Work, we're going to, jerk, you're all through
There's no way you'll stop my breakthrough
Two ways to do it, get in or get out
Elevate yourself, don't hang about
So wherever lies your latitude
Wherever you are we gainin' altitude
In all directions we're startin' to climb
So come on, girl, elevate my mind
[Verse 7]
I wanna go higher
(Elevate my mind)
I wanna go higher
(Yeah, baby)
(Reach out) I wanna go higher
(Yeah, baby)
(Elevate my mind) I wanna go higher
(Yeah, baby)
I wanna go higher
I wanna go higher
I wanna go higher
