John Anthony – High Road

John Anthony – High Road Lyrics

Artist: John Anthony
Song: High Road

Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Imagine a kid who is bright, imagine a kid who just sits and writes
Imagine a kid who has so much potential to grow up

And be something real with his life
Imagine that kid sittin’ home in the summer, when everyone else be chillin’ outside
Imagine that kid usin’ all got his time
‘Cause he knew that one day he be shreddin’ the mics

Second those headphones are on is the second
He travels inside of a different dimension
Closin’ his eyes and takin’ in every instrument and lyric that he ever listened
Placin’ himself in the music and visualizin’ that he’s standin’ right up on a stage

Holdin’ the microphone, doin’ his thing, as thousands of people be chantin’ his name
The money and fame is sort’ve irrelevant but for the hell of it, he will embrace it
He pictured himself that he made it, his imagination always changing
That clock in head would just constantly tick, at a young age, he barely could take it

Now close to decade, that vision that one day he’ll make is practically fading
But he ain’t gonna quit so easily, this sh#t just frequently turns him into the beast we see
He’s been tellin’ people, y’all better believe in me
‘Cause he can see you doubted him recently

It seems to me, whatever people feed through your TV screen
With these BET award rappers is not what he would be
But that’s okay, y’all gonna see the reason why
I know

All this sh#t makes me look like I’m psycho
But I feel like I’m Kendrick goin’ viral, yeah, ’cause I know
I can never take the high road
All my idols turn to rivals

I just need to fight for my survival
‘Cause I feel like I’m Kendrick goin’ viral, yeah, ’cause I know
I will never take the high road
Imagine a kid with just so much emotion and problems

He had to just find a way to try and flush out the rage
Imagine a kid takin’ all of the anger he had and just placin’ it up on a page
Like what do you say to somebody’s
Who’s been all inside of the ringer but never escaped

That pressure for him is too much and it lays
Right up on his shoulders, he carries the weight
And buries his face right up in his comics
Lays everyday in the living room carpet

Tryna replace that anger he holds in
All of ’em skeletons up in the closet, that his has brought in
You never would think for a second that he had a fuse
But all that it took was a couple of screws

To turn and get loose for him to go (Boom)
The nerdiest kid, who people at first didn’t get and treated him worse than sh#t
At first, he guessed that he was just worthless, sh#t
But now that he turned to the pen and learned how to spit

These mother f#ckers really turnin’ their heads
Concerned that he would return from the dead
And verbally murder you turd-heads again
Now I want you to imagine a guy who still goin’ through this sh#t everyday

Same cycle, the same passion, the same hole that he’s still since his arrival
Where did time go? All the highs, lows and the tight ropes that he walked on
Just to find those opportunities but tonight though
This is my show ’cause

I know
All this sh#t makes me look like I’m psycho
But I feel like I’m Kendrick goin’ viral, yeah, ’cause I know
I can never take the high road

All my idols turn to rivals
I just need to fight for my survival
‘Cause I feel like I’m Kendrick goin’ viral, yeah, ’cause I know
I will never take the high road
