Skyscraper Lyrics

[00:43.39] One man climbs higher then one bites dust
[00:45.91] Thru the dark hours in dark towers we trust
[00:48.63] Forever the rays of light will energise my
[00:51.27] Born ability mind stability much creativity
[00:53.55] 39 steps 22 catch boxed in
[00:57.62] Tales of the city we are lost in
[00:59.62] Living in a haze I'm amazed by the ways in the days
[01:02.88] Of forever go non stop pressure
[01:04.99] The risking obelisks stands stable in the skyline
[01:07.60] You will find icon is symbol and symbol is sign
[01:10.83] Higher aspect looking down over the horizon
[01:13.87] The cloud nine zero back down to the ground
[01:16.46] Skyscraper you will never feel
[01:18.80] What it's like to be, or how it seems to me
[01:21.02] It's all man-made material
[01:22.88] Scribbled down by the architect
[01:24.78] Just parallel lines on the paper
[02:40.16] Surrounded by walls that vary in size
[02:41.93] Still they cast an intimidating image in my eyes
[02:45.23] But ya concrete block will never rock my stone
[02:47.74] Inya zone I'm unbreakable able to resist
[02:50.27] Overthe stage in timea newer age
[02:51.65] And still I'm in a rage of dilemma
[02:54.79] Minds eye spray gamma hammer nail
[02:57.28] Again it presents itself
[02:58.83] What's life like upon the top shelf?
[03:01.26] It really doesn't matter if I'm any
[03:03.10] Lesser than your higher status
[03:04.57] See the press haven't you heard the latest
[03:06.48] The greatest thing about being 'I' is me
[03:08.81] And what I really can be I never
[03:11.47] Run you never ran me
[03:13.00] I stand my ground found solid stance
[03:15.35] Never take a step back move forward
[03:17.64] Remember this skyscraper ya building blocks
[03:20.35] Will trickle down like sands of time
[03:22.17] So roll the dice then pay the price
[04:23.37]
