Higher Lyrics - Eminem

You know I have been around for a while now
Not sure if I have much left to prove
Yeah I do haha

I look at me now I am thinkin “Damn”
How proud of me I am
What I did is nothin’ to sneeze at
Even if your allergies are bad
I am up in a balcony in France
I look around I see the fans
How they surround me in the stands
Probably could drown in a sea of hands
They’re hollerin’ “Shady”
Yelling it out to me and that’s what I mean when I say
That one day someway somehow if I get the chance to get a crowd
I’d flip it around and have a crowd give me the chants
But in actuality I haven’t yet

Where am I supposed to go from here? Hey
Really I have no idea
All I know is every time I think I hit my ceiling
I go higher than I have ever f**kin’ been
Where am I supposed to go from here? Hey
Really I have no idea
All I know is every time I think I hit my ceiling
I go higher than I have ever f**kin’ been
Got no time for no haters in this b*tch
Or toleration for this shit
But like medication my dedication
And the time it takes to do this shit
Reminds me of how an overcrowded hospital waiting room’ll get
What I mean is maybe I have more patience than I am able to admit
Yeah but I am still mentally stable as a three-legged table in this b*tch
Fame was a switch but I was grateful to trade this shit for the trailer with a hitch
That it would make me a raving lunatic
But I made it through my situation I hit pay dirt
Now I get paper like a stapler in this b*tch
But just ’cause I made a little bit of change
Don’t mean I have changed a little bit
Brain full of wit dangerous can’t extinguish this English language when it’s lit
And I am just berating you with it it’s Shady ’til I am eighty-two
I’ll spit this crazy even Dre he knows I ama blow
Better get the handkerchief again haha

Where am I supposed to go from here? Hey
Really I have no idea
All I know is every time I think I hit my ceiling
I go higher than I have ever f**kin’ been
Where am I supposed to go from here? Hey
Really I have no idea

All I know is every time I think I hit my ceiling
I go higher than I have ever f**kin’ been

Oh now what am I gonna do?
Can’t nothing hold me I am on the loose
Born a winner damn it’s so hard to lose
I can do it even when I am tryin’ to
When my record flops it still go through the roof
This atmosphere’s for a chosen few
Who was on they grind makin’ money moves
And you ain’t gon’ get there if you watered-down
You gotta take shots with a hundred proof

Been in survival mode
Since a five year old it was I alone
Since my trike was stole spiral notebook and microphone
But lookin’ back how bad it was then
If it hadn’t been for the pad and the pen
Addict mom and deadbeat dad
I wouldn’t have had the savage within havin’ to win
Every single battle I am in
All I ever wanted was to be an emcee
Tediously I wrote obediently believing in me
EPMD must have had teachin’ degrees
Learned to defeat enemies with the ink thinkin’ of these rhymes
Would be as Eazy as E
And graffiti would be like remedial readin’ to me
‘Til my last breath leaves my lungs
I ama beat my drum for the streets I am from
The East side slums gotta remind ’em
I’ll take a foe out like fee-fi-fum
You see my finger you see my thumb
You see my fist f**k a peace pipe I am
Here for the smoke but it’s not the weed I want
With this beat I brung for the beef I have come
But you better bring it if you wanna reply from
‘Cause for you to be lyrically inclined it’d be a steep climb up
That’ll be an uphill battle
But I am up like your feet in a recliner
And I think I am about to go out on a limb like a tree climber
Time to push my ceiling higher ’cause

Where am I supposed to go from here? Hey
Really I have no idea
All I know is every time I think I hit my ceiling
I go higher than I have ever f**kin’ been
Where am I supposed to go from here? Hey
Really I have no idea
All I know is every time I think I hit my ceiling
I go higher than I have ever f**kin’ been
