I built me up high
A building so high, you know
Up where the birds fly
It was a long time ago
I got the view from the stars, baby, stars, baby
You look up at me like a God, baby, God, baby
You wonder how I got this far
Our differences make us who we are

I can't afford to fall

This is how I got name
This is how I got my fame
You and me are not the same
This is why you give me praise
Try to keep me in a cage
This is how I got my rage
This is why I go insane
This is why you give me praise

Give me (praise)
Give me (praise)
Give me (praise)
Give me (praise)
Give me (praise)
Give me (praise)
Give me (praise)

This is why I need my praise
Why I'm running game
This is why I'm in my lane
Why these bitches lame
This is why you feel my pain
Yeah, I got no shame
This is why they call me Z
Why I'm getting paid
Haters I had overcame
Lawyers I had overpaid
Records I had overplayed
From DJs that are overrated
Friends of mine, they overstayed
Trust and values, they betrayed it
Took some years to be sustaining
This is why you give me praises (praises, praises)

And I can't afford to fall

This is how I got name
This is how I got my fame
You and me are not the same
This is why you give me praise
Try to keep me in a cage
This is how I got my rage
This is why I go insane
This is why you give me praise

Give me (praise)
Give me (praise)
Give me (praise)
Give me (praise)
Give me (praise)
Give me (praise)
Give me (praise)

I'm not just a God, I'm animal (praise)
Intangible and highly flammable, rah (praise)
Dog-eat-dog, I'm cannibal (praise)
Top of the food chain, you my steak frites (praise)
Get down, I won't say please (praise)
Right now, I'm royalty (praise)
All men, amen, worship me (praise)
Say your prayers 'cause
I am the altar, I am the church
I am the Sun and I am the dirt
I am the reaper, I am rebirth
Don't Adam and Eve me, I was here first
I am the day and I am the night
Poisoned the apple and ruined mankind
I am the love and I am the fight
I am the power, you can't defy

This is why they went crazy, it's the fall of grace
This is why she got pink molly in her lace
This is how look at me made her love the bass
This is why I need my (need my)
This is why I need my (praise)

Give me (praise)
Give me (praise)
Give me (praise)
Give me (praise)
Give me (praise)
