letra de altitude - nks (nz)

[verse]
the higher you get, the harder you’ll fall
appreciate the view while you’re on top
whether it’s your mood, status or altitude
that ep gon’ soon convert into that ek
that’s how life goes, how the physics works
you wanna replay?
if there’s a rise, there gon’ be a slope
if there’s a high, there gon’ be a low
i’m not going for a three-way tie when i’m sticking my tongue out at you
it’s not the winter chill that’s getting to me when i’m sneezing (achoo)
cold bars, i got a packed schedule that i gotta run-through
all i can do is hope for the best then say ‘touchwood’ like it’s really gonna do much good
i’m academic, athletic, and now a rapper, what more can you ask for?
wait, actually, please do ask so then i can master that too
rapping like i’m j. cole, you’d think i’d starved myself before i stepped inside the booth
recently i’ve noticed my moods are rapidly fluctuating at a rate i haven’t seen in a long time
and i’m not sure why
is it just that age? maybe or maybe not, that might be a far cry
am i the only one who speaks to myself as a pastime?
always on time, if there’s anything that’s late, it was probably last night
with so much going on in my life
i’ve prevented myself from taking a spare moment for reflections
haven’t visited them in a long while, i might drop by
san holo the way my head swirl
i’ve always heard rap on radio
but it was 5 years ago, i decided to give it a whirl
sometimes music is the best way to make yourself heard
not that i wasn’t heard before, but now you can hear me better
never given encouragement but everyone’s waiting, expectant
i don’t see this as an issue ‘cause i was told motivation comes from within you
yeah, and i guess it’s true, how else you gon’ explain how i’ve been so successful?
i’d laugh if you claim it’s the luck of the devil
to be fair though, i’ll never really know
life’s unpredictable like most things
hard to stay focused when i’m rushing so fast through the day
wanna take it slower
they say you reap what you sow
but based on my experiences that’s not always the way it goes
nothing can be written in stone
there’s a part in me that’s scared of this
no guarantee that the effort i put in will be equal to the consequences
got my own shoes yet i can’t help but be jealous of someone else’s
why does it have to be easier to look up at the privileged
than rather look below at the state that many people living in
you cannot achieve anything without being disciplined
but even now in this minute, i feel like mine is diminishing
i wish for a lot of things, got a long list that isn’t witten
but if i was to try, it would take days before i would finish
everything is limited, whether it’s materialistic or inner feelings
i wanna be prosperous, but the grind really is exhausting
a beyblade the way my head’s spinning
clogged with so many thoughts that i get lost in it
i’m attempting to meditate, steadily respirate
but i’m failing to replicate serenity, the strength needed to keep my mind in the present like i did when i was like seven
those times where heavenly
and just as easy as that i’ve drifted back to my memories
reflecting on my past self, arguably the better me
when i relied on instinct like my one-handed screamer at the rectory
i’m not gon’ say your words ain’t affecting me because they do
even if they came out they way they wasn’t meant to
inciting reactions they wasn’t meant for
igniting impulsive thoughts i’m tryna fend off
is it my fault?
i guess it might be ‘cause ninety percent of life is how i respond to things that happen to me
pouring emotions, it’s torrential
the passion is surreal
i might sell calm but inside i’m burning
it’s your feet that’s getting swept off
put me in a box, next minute i get it checked off
gotta keep up, else you gon’ get left off
everyone’s got an edward in their life
mine taught me to always give my best shot
always saw the top as the best spot
a ted talk how i preach on an instrumental
check my record, all my credits endorsed
kept so many options open, i got so many i can bet on
yet my hopes in the air, they ain’t got nothing to rest on
head spinning’ like a beyblade
as if it’s helpful, i’m gulping four bottles, two each of mazza and frooti
i’m chugging like the payne train
no pain, no gain, that how the saying goes
no longer am i grieving over the mistakes i had made
but i still am the way i’m dropping bars on tracks like cranky the crane having a bad day
used to think i was ahead of the game, when i really wasn’t
completely self-centred, the dark side taking over me like darth vader
ended up being towed by my ego like it was mater
thinking i was the alpha and not the beta
you might be wondering, how could i ever lose with this kind of attitude?
but then i did, not once or twice, but multiple times
minor to major magnitudes, in multiple aspects of my life
it got me feeling sh-te, bad, feeling like cr-p
got me questioning, am i truly happy or do i just assume i am?
then i came to a realisation
and now whatever i do is done to make the boy in the mirror smile back
the ultimate goal is the ice cap
i don’t know if it’s that of money, wealth, lovely health or being at peace?
but i do know that i can never become happy, i can only be happy
and that’s facts
i’ve had options to take some wrong routes
but just like swifty, i knew it was trouble
steppin’ outside my comfort bubble
has taught me to take the odd l and stay humble
just ‘cause i know how to accept loss doesn’t mean i’ve lost the hunger to win
who am i fooling?
competition is a common good in the way that we’re all improving
pushing ourselves to win, but listen to this
we’ll never see the best in anyone, ‘cause those ideas are theoretical
what’s the point in tryna be unconventional when it’s uncomfortable?
just to grab attention, you ain’t doing yourself any justice
to you it’s a sunset, but to me i’m witnessing a spectacle
it’s another weekend, but i’m celebrating like it’s a festival
winter’s another season, but it gives me a sense of freedom
i’m giving myself every reason to shelve negative feelings
need to stop comparing myself to the other guy
the sun and moon have no comparison
they just wait for their time to shine
it’s taken me way too long to realise i can never satisfy everyone
and i bet y’all really don’t know how valuable parents are
but i guess that’s just how us post-millennial, adolescents are
i might be smart, but i cannot speak about being wise yet
an open mindset is all that’s needed to reduce defiance
and like the coronavirus, it’ll make peace widespread
i trust myself so much, i don’t need to look at the keys i press
touch typing, woah my head spirallin’
i’m tryna do me, whatever i feel, adapt to the climate
ballin like i’m tyran, but i can’t help but be psychic in private
conceptualisation, the greatest thing since sliced bread
9pm in timaru by the bay
sat with hands in pockets, yeah they’re tightly in
this moment’s truly priceless by the way
squinting through my specs at the stars
can’t get enough of the brisk breeze blowing on my face
sat all alone, salty air, taking a deep inhale
ears treated with the constant susurration of the waves
soothing audio of rustling leaves of the bushes, trees and greenery
i don’t know what’s better, nature’s music or the scenery
you feel me?
[outro]
changing altitude
gaining a sense of latitude
i didn’t pack no parachute
is it true? yeah i’m asking you
changing altitude
gaining a sense of latitude
i didn’t pack no parachute
is it true? yeah i’m asking you
