Lyrics and translation
Original
Daddy,
I made it.
Every night I prayed for my light to shine.
Now I can't see a thing, my light too bright.
Every day I would dream 'bout these moments, and I tried and tried.
Don't let 'em fool you, she got it from the mud.
She's so much further now compared to back where she was. Once at the bottom, soon as gotta go up.
So close to goals that I can taste it on my tongue. I finally made it, been paper chasin'.
I cut my fingers, my grass is greener.
Seen many places, replaced some faces.
Made many changes, that's why I'm takin' off. I'm goin', goin' up 'til I'm gone.
I'm goin', goin' up, and it's on. I'm goin', goin' up 'til I'm gone.
I'm goin', goin' up. Came up 'cause I stayed down. No waves in my fate now.
I ain't never had one doubt. I ain't trip, I just prayed about it.
Family straight, yeah we get paid now. We don't pay the bills late now. Bank safe is my playground.
I been flame since I came out, on God. Don't let 'em fool you, she got it from the mud.
She's so much further now compared to back where she was.
Once at the bottom, soon as gotta go up. So close to goals that I can taste it on my tongue.
I finally made it, been paper chasin'.
I cut my fingers, my grass is greener. Seen many places, replaced some faces.
Made many changes, that's why I'm takin' off. I'm goin', goin' up 'til I'm gone.
I'm goin', goin' up, and it's on.
I'm goin', goin' up 'til I'm gone.
I'm goin', goin' up.
