Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I built me up high

A building so high, you know

Up where the birds fly

It was a long time ago

[Verse 2]

I got the view from the stars, baby, stars, baby

You look up at me like a God, baby, God, baby

You wonder how I got this far

Our differences make us who we are

[PreChorus]

I can't afford to fall

[Chorus]

This is how I got my name

This is how I got my fame

You and me are not the same

This is why you give me praise

Try to keep me in a cage

This is how I got my rage

This is why I go insane

This is why you give me praise

[Refrain]

Give me praise

Give me praise

Give me praise

Give me praise

Give me praise

Give me praise

Give me praise

[Verse 3]

This is why I need my praise

Why I'm running game

This is why I'm in my lane

Why these bitches lame

[Verse 4]

This is why you feel my pain

Yeah, I got no shame

This is why they call me "Z"

Why I'm getting paid

[Verse 5]

Haters I had overcame

Lawyers I had overpaid

Records I had overplayed

From DJs that are overrated

[Verse 6]

Friends of mine, they overstayed

Trust and values, they betrayed it

Took some years to be sustaining

This is why you give me praises

Praises, praises

[PreChorus]

And I can't afford to fall

[Chorus]

This is how I got my name

This is how I got my fame

You and me are not the same

This is why you give me praise

Try to keep me in a cage

This is how I got my rage

This is why I go insane

This is why you give me praise

[Refrain]

Give me praise

Give me praise

Give me praise

Give me praise

Give me praise

Give me praise

Give me praise

[Verse 7]

I'm not just a God, I'm animal

Intangible and highly flammable, rah

Dog eat dog, I'm cannibal

Top of the food chain, you my steak frites

Get down, I won't say "please"

Right now, I'm royalty

All men, amen, worship me

[Verse 8]

Say your prayers 'cause

I am the altar, I am the church

I am the sun and I am the dirt

I am the reaper, I am rebirth

Don't Adam-and-Eve me, I was here first

I am the day and I am the night

Poisoned the apple and ruined mankind

I am the love and I am the fight

I am the power, you can't defy

[Chorus]

This is why they went crazy, it's the fall of grace

This is why she got pink molly in her face

This is how look at me made her love the bass

This is why I need my

This is why I need my

Praise

[Refrain]

Give me praise

Give me praise

Give me praise

Give me praise
