Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Stepped out of my zone (My zone)

I had to get out all alone (Alone)

And figure it out on my own (My own)

And I know what I really want now

Can't stop me, can't break me (Can't break me)

What don't kill me gon' make me (Gon' make me)

Shoot for the stars, no safety (No safety)

And now I see clear in HD

[Chorus]

Gotta go hard, gotta go hard

I ain't got time to waste, I ain't got time

I gotta go high, gotta go high

I gotta elevate, I gotta elevate

They wanna fight, they wanna fight

I'm just gon' let 'em hate, I'm just gon' let 'em hate

I gotta go high, gotta go high

I gotta elevate, I gotta elevate

[Refrain]

You better choose a side

You gotta choose a side

You gotta pick

You better do what's right

Or you gonna lose the fight

You gotta, gotta go hard

You better choose a side

You gotta choose a side

You gotta pick

You better do what's right

I gotta elevate (Or you gonna lose the fight)

[Verse 2]

I'm a web slinger to a gunslinger

No millimeter, this is my arena

I'm the Black Widow, with a bad stinger

And I make you scream like a bad singer

I'm everything that you wanna be plus more

Since there's no heroes anymore

Jump out the window, then put the mask on

Who the bad man, that a man gotta bash on?

[Verse 3]

Hope we'll never link up

Blink and you will see us

Thumbprints 'bout to ink up

See me in the NYC

You can never swing by me

[Verse 4]

Hope we'll never link up

Blink and you will see us

Thumbprints 'bout to ink up

See me in the NYC

Home of the B-I-G, yup

They will slander me

I just plan to be

Something powerful for my family

Try to balance life and my sanity

Show a different side of humanity

So amazing, keep appraising

Save you from a home invasion

Chasin' robbers from the bank

You facin' friendly neighborhood Spider-Man

[Chorus]

Gotta go hard, gotta go hard

I ain't got time to waste, I ain't got time

I gotta go high, gotta go high

I gotta elevate, I gotta elevate

They wanna fight, they wanna fight

I'm just gon' let 'em hate, I'm just gon' let 'em hate

I gotta go high, gotta go high

I gotta elevate, I gotta elevate

[Verse 5]

Okay, I fight crime through the nighttime

When the light shine, I go python

I'm fallin' on my last life line

It's no way in my right mind

My city up, but my back tight

How can I possibly act right?

I'm Robin Hood, I'm the Black Knight

I know you heard 'bout my last fight

'Cause I win, over and over again

Battling evil, I'm hoping to win

Fighting my demons, I'm nice for a reason

Enticed with the bleedin'

I'm showin' my sins

How can you expect me to stay sane?

Protect me

My technique go X-speed

On high waves and jet-skis

I jump off this building to save these civilians

My strength and my honor is trusted by children

I'm ready and willing

To fight all these villains

No chaos or killings

My style is so brilliant, my god

[Chorus]

Gotta go hard, gotta go hard

I ain't got time to waste, I ain't got time

I gotta go high, gotta go high

I gotta elevate, I gotta elevate

They wanna fight, they wanna fight

I'm just gon' let 'em hate, I'm just gon' let 'em hate

I gotta go high, gotta go high

I gotta elevate, I gotta elevate

[Refrain]

You better choose a side

You gotta choose a side

You gotta pick

You better do what's right

I gotta elevate (Or you gonna lose the fight)

[Verse 6]

Look, I ain't got no time to be hangin' around

Nobody tryna figure out if they good or evil

I'm fightin' the crime, savin' your lives

One at a time, I'm killin' the rhymes

I do it for the people

I'm Peter Parker runnin' through the 6

With a bag full of tricks

My boy, you better choose a side

I may have lost the battle, but I will not lose the war

I can promise you, I will not lose this time

And I did it all independent, no really, all independent

Now we winnin' like all my homies cookin' up in the kitchen

Intuition said we gon' have to win, and confess opinions

The world is mine and you gon' have to pay me attention

And I did everything that I did on my own

I'm a one to one for real, there could never be a clone

Better talk to me nice, better watch your tone

And I'm puttin' on for my whole zone

So I gotta go hard

[Chorus]

Gotta go hard, gotta go hard

I ain't got time to waste, I ain't got time

I gotta go high, gotta go high

I gotta elevate, I gotta elevate

They wanna fight, they wanna fight

I'm just gon' let 'em hate, I'm just gon' let 'em hate

I gotta go high, gotta go high

I gotta elevate, I gotta elevate
