Lyrics
I walked across the water
I came by myself
I climbed the highest mountain
And I ain't never been nailed
Say "Yeah"
Say "Yeah"
I say "Yeah"
I say "Yeah", I say
I walked across the water
I came by myself
I climbed the highest mountain
And I ain't never been nailed
Say "Yeah"
Say "Yeah"
I say "Yeah"
I ay "Yeah", I say
I was born on Tatooine with dreams of sand
I kept going
The blind would undermine my plans
I kept growing
God bless the child that has
I kept building
One can't rewind the past
I push forward
The pain was too much to bear
I kept hurtin'
Nobody could feel me there
I kept quiet
The tears would begin to well
I just fought 'em
They say you gotta pay your dues
I just bought 'em
What they don't know won't hurt em'
I pledge to never be no one's burden
Mama said "Never disrespect your neighbors
'Cause next week we might have to check for favors"
That's science
I could never thank her for it
And 20/20 hindsight is so euphoric
Keep shining
Nobody could stop your progress
'Cause unknown forces move some known objects
That's magic
I walked across the water
I came by myself (Uh-huh)
I climbed the highest mountain
And I ain't never been nailed
Say "Yeah" (Keep goin')
Say "Yeah" (I keep goin')
I say "Yeah" (I keep goin')
I say "Yeah", I say
The long road home, the crown, the throne
I kept searchin'
Made time to find my own
I kept askin'
Never ever strayed my course
I kept passion
Tried to reconnect my force
I kept fastin'
Felt something inside my soul
I kept reachin'
And even though that verse got old
I kept preachin'
Even when the mosque got cold
We kept teachin'
Sellin' final calls on Broad and Allegheny
'Cause who gon' save dem babies?
And finally put a definite to all those maybes
A scholar and a gentleman to all those ladies
The haters and the naysayers say ya'll so crazy
That's physics
A necessary part of the story
And 20/20 hindsight is so euphoric
Keep shinin'
Nobody could stop your progress
'Cause unknown forces move some known objects
That's magic
I walked across the water
I came by myself
I climbed the highest mountain
And I ain't never been nailed
Say "Yeah"
Say "Yeah"
I say "Yeah"
I say "Yeah", I say
I walked across the water
I came by myself
I climbed the highest mountain
And I ain't never been nailed
Say "Yeah"
Say "Yeah"
I say "Yeah"
I say "Yeah", I say
(Say, say, say)
