We build from the bottom up,
But when we reach the top,
We find we don't see much,
Yeah we find we don't see much at all...
And I know from experience
That life isn't easy enough,
Because life gets real tough,
And I know 'cos that's my life oh oh...
You see my mother always told me
My life is the greatest creation,
My life is her salvation,
My life is determination...
But you see my father always told me
My life is an abomination,
My life won't save the nation,
Yeah my life is for the taking...
And it was a conflict of interest,
It made think about winning
And whether it really was that
Much better than losing, time and again...
Because even when I
Start at the bottom,
And I climb up the ladder,
And then I reach the top of it,
I find I don't see much of it,
I don't see much of anything...
You see my mother always told me
My life is the greatest creation,
My life is her salvation,
My life is determination...
But you see my father always told me
My life is an abomination,
My life won't save the nation,
Yeah my life is for the taking...
Throughout life I've stood in the rain
And in the sun and in pain and
I don't know what to think but
I thought love was my savior
But love fucks with my behavior,
Makes me want a razor...
Makes me want a razor...
Because even when I
Start at the bottom,
And I climb up the ladder,
And then I reach the top of it,
I find I don't see much of it,
I don't see much of anything...
And if there's not anything worth seeing
At the bottom, in the middle or at the top
Then what's the point of life,
What's the point of life?
You see my mother always told me
My life is the greatest creation,
My life is her salvation,
My life is determination...
But you see my father always told me
My life is an abomination,
My life won't save the nation,
Yeah my life is for the taking...
So which is true?
Am I who
My mother said I am...
Or am I who
My father said
Just another failure
Who don't deserve to stand?
Don't deserve to live,
A life worth taking now...
Because even when I
Start at the bottom,
And I climb up the ladder,
And then I reach the top of it,
I find I don't see much of it,
I don't see much of anything...
I never see much of anything,
I see the good in people then
They turn around and stab my back
And I don't know if I can handle the fact
That life is anything but hell,
Because that's just how it's been
And how it honestly will always be...
Because even when I
Start at the bottom,
And I climb up the ladder,
And then I reach the top of it,
I find I don't see much of it,
I don't see much of anything...
It doesn't matter where I start,
It doesn't matter where I end up
I always see the world for what it really is...
An empty space...
Complete nothingness...
But when we reach the top,
We find we don't see much,
Yeah we find we don't see much at all...
And I know from experience
That life isn't easy enough,
Because life gets real tough,
And I know 'cos that's my life oh oh...
