Grandmaster Z - Moving Up

I feel something inside me
That makes me wanna be something
But then I get another feeling
That gets up on stage and then sends me reeling
This new force wants to hold me back now
I sit back and watch my life burn out
It's hard to fight, it's hard to care
Before I know it, I'm in the middle of nowhere
I slip into the rut of being ordinary
Even though I wanna be legendary
I rationalize why I am here in this place
But deep inside, I feel like I am trapped in a closed space
It's hard to breathe when I'm sinking deep
I can't move up when I am still asleep
Why do I let these thoughts take control of my destiny
It's time to break out and be a part of the remedy

That's why I will never back down
I will hold on to my talents I have found
I'm made to be so much more than I am
I'm gonna break through my walls with a battering ram
It's getting too loud, but I will rise above the noise
This is my life, and I have a choice
I will not be held back, I will do and not try
I will be moving up and kiss regret bye bye

That's easy to say when you're caught up in the moment
But harder to live by when your life seems frozen
In the blink of an eye, you can slip back to where you were
Even if you were on top, you can hit the bottom in a blur
That's why it's not good to say, "I'm fine right here"
The fog sets in, the road is not so clear
You say you are content to slow down your pace
But soon you'll find that time can never be replaced
Life is short even when you think you have time
Those years will pass right by as fast as Amazon Prime
But you can do something about it starting today
Satisfaction doesn't come when you sit around and wait
Start a new melody that will live endlessly
I will move up steadily, merrily, readily
This is my legacy, ecstasy, specialty
I will live successfully, that is my expectancy

That's why I will never back down
I will hold on to my talents I have found
I'm made to be so much more than I am
I'm gonna break through my walls with a battering ram
It's getting too loud, but I will rise above the noise
This is my life, and I have a choice
I will not be held back, I will do and not try
I will be moving up and kiss regret bye bye

It may seem like it's not worth it
That you don't even deserve it
But that's not true, you've reserved it
And every dream, you can preserve it
It doesn't matter what others tell you
Or if at first, it falls through
From your failure, you can make do
Success is when you change your point of view
Please don't regret what's come and gone
Or opportunities you didn't act on
Don't stop running the marathon
Your dreams are a phenomenon
So move your feet and go
Pick the oars up and start to row
Open the curtain and start the show
Play the music, turn on the stereo
This is your life!

That's why I will never back down
I will hold on to my talents I have found
I'm made to be so much more than I am
I'm gonna break through my walls with a battering ram
It's getting too loud, but I will rise above the noise
This is my life, and I have a choice
I will not be held back, I will do and not try
I will be moving up and kiss regret bye bye

That's why I will never back down
I will hold on to my talents I have found
I'm made to be so much more than I am
I'm gonna break through my walls with a battering ram
It's getting too loud, but I will rise above the noise
This is my life, and I have a choice
I will not be held back, I will do and not try
I will be moving up and kiss regret bye bye
I feel something inside me
