On a High Note
Elevating Against Adversity: On a High Note by Isai Morales
Lyrics
Lost in the depths
Feeling disoriented and confused, possibly in a challenging situation.
Been a test
Referring to a difficult experience or challenge faced.
Do I recollect and connect
Contemplating and trying to remember past experiences, seeking connections.
Dots from the east to the west
Reflecting on life's journey from the eastern to the western points.
In the land where they hate to see strength
In a place where strength is disliked or resented.
In the heart of a man like myself
Expressing resilience in the face of challenges, especially as a man.
Gotta go get it myself
Determined to achieve goals independently.
When theres no one to help
Emphasizing self-reliance when no external help is available.
Never dwell in the darkness
Avoiding negativity and challenges in life.
In tune with myself
Being in harmony with oneself.
Call me selfish, I bought this
Acknowledging a self-centered approach, owning one's achievements.
Designer shit, cuz I don’t get to cop often
Purchasing luxury items as a rare indulgence.
Eyes peeled wide, as I hit the strip flawless
Vigilant and observant while navigating life, especially in a flawless manner.
Don’t got the time to defend, I’m on offense
Choosing to be on the offensive side, not defending actions.
Proceed with caution, it’s tense and my conscience
Advising caution due to tense situations and inner conflict.
Is telling me to lay back, but fuck it I say back
Ignoring the inner voice urging relaxation, opting for a proactive approach.
Only Mexican you’ll ever see in the state that
Highlighting uniqueness as a Mexican in a particular state.
Fuckit ain’t nobody doing what I do, straight facts
Asserting exceptionalism in actions, stating facts boldly.
Pretend to not see me, I’ll make sure I get my payback
Promising retaliation if ignored or disregarded.
When I’m doing what they wanna do, and they get forced to stay back
Forcing others to stay back when pursuing desired goals.
Sleeping they can snooze cuz I been eating lately
Busy and productive, not allowing others to rest while achieving personal goals.
Stackin up and working ain’t been sleeping lately
Accumulating wealth and working hard, sacrificing sleep for success.
Haven’t got to see my abuelita, too committed to the shit I get the feeling that she starting to hate me
Expressing a sense of guilt for not spending time with a grandmother due to commitment.
I’m kidding I know the loves unconditional
Playfully dismissing the idea that love is conditional, especially from family.
Family here for me, we ain’t never been traditional
Emphasizing non-traditional family bonds and support.
Not everybody blood related, but it’s just the principal
Valuing loyalty and shared principles over blood relations.
Brothers from the jump, been there for everything I’m living thru
Highlighting the enduring support of friends from the beginning of life's journey.
The good and the bad and the ugly
Acknowledging the various aspects of life, both positive and challenging.
Make sure we eating, we never going hungry
Ensuring that basic needs like food are always met.
Try to say my people don’t belong in the country
Facing discrimination but thriving in the country despite it.
But fuck em I’m excelling already, ain’t even touching
Defying expectations and excelling despite obstacles.
The peak, the prime, we age better as the time goes
Emphasizing personal growth and improvement over time.
Posted with the OGs smoking OG why my eyes low
Relaxing with experienced individuals and enjoying a certain substance.
Never losing site, keep my eyes all on the prize tho
Remaining focused on the goal, despite distractions and challenges.
Even thru the high lows, but now I’m on a high note
Reaching a positive and uplifting point in life.
