lyrics

Higher

Verse 1
Each and every day I’m always thankful for my friends
They make me laugh, and I can always count on them
When they’re around I know I’m in for a real good time
No one compares to these amazing friends of mine

But the best thing about them, is they all have real big dreams
I know I have to surround myself with people doing big things

Chorus
They take me higher, much higher than I would go on my own
They push me higher, so high that I could not get there all alone
I know I will be judged by the company I keep
So I constantly make sure my friends are reflections of me

Verse 2
The people who are close to me
Are bringing positive energy
I don’t need to have you around if all you do is keep me down

The people who I want to know
Are making moves so they can grow
Making progress on life’s track, moving forward, never back

Honestly I’d rather be
Alone than have bad company
I’d march to my own beat before they’d slow me to down to match their speed

If your goal is to improve
Take your time when you choose
The people that reflect your style, who’ll be in your life for a while

Rap
When it comes to decisions it boils down to who
I consider friends and who I call my crew
We can watch TV and talk about sci-fi
Play sports get all excited and high five
But at the end of the day I need people around me
Who encourage not tease or clown me
It's my desire to go higher and higher
Build an empire with friends who inspire
If that is you then what are we waiting on?
We can have a friendship that lasts crazy long
Pardon the slang that means forever
We can read books and build things together
I will always surround myself with
Motivators not anyone who is selfish
Negative people I won't be stuck with
I'm a future Zuckerberg or Warren Buffett

Chorus
They take me higher, much higher than I would go on my own
They push me higher, so high that I could not get there all alone
I know I will be judged by the company I keep
So I constantly make sure my friends are reflections of me

They take me higher, much higher than I would go on my own
They push me higher, so high that I could not get there all alone

They take me higher, much higher than I would go on my own
They push me higher, so high that I could not get there all alone
I know I will be judged by the company I keep
So I constantly make sure my friends are reflections of me
