Things Above
Rising Above: Madison Hughes Inspires with 'Things Above'
Lyrics
I ain't falling down that hole witchu
Expressing refusal to be dragged into a negative situation with someone.
I ain't going down that road witchu oh
Reiterating the rejection of a particular path or choice with someone.
And you not taking control of me
Asserting independence and resistance against someone attempting to control.
And you not getting a hold on me
Declaring freedom from another's influence or grasp.
Can't be walking out a lie
Rejecting falsehood or deceit in one's actions.
Can't be falling outta love
Refusing to fall out of love, emphasizing commitment.
So I gotta set my mind
Committing to focus the mind on positive things.
On all the things above
Repeatedly emphasizing the importance of prioritizing higher values and ideals.
All the things above me
-All the things above me
-All the things above me
-All the things above me
-Used to think that people owed me
Reflecting on a past mindset of entitlement.
But that mindset is below me now
Acknowledging personal growth beyond a self-centered perspective.
Used to think about me only
Highlighting a shift from self-centeredness to a spiritual connection.
Then Holy Spirit came
Introducing the positive influence of the Holy Spirit.
And He won't leave you lonely
Emphasizing the spiritual companionship, dispelling loneliness.
Putting off the old me
Committing to personal transformation guided by faith.
Putting on the real me
-Just believing what He told me
-And doing everything He showed me
-He said wait till you get to know Me
Anticipating deeper understanding of the divine.
Can't be walking out a lie
Reiteration of the importance of focusing on higher values.
Can't be falling outta love
-So I gotta set my mind
-On all the things above
-All the things above me
-All the things above me
-All the things above me
-All the things above me
-It's all mad right now
Acknowledging challenges and chaos in the current life situation.
I know this life ain't easy
Recognizing the difficulty of life's journey.
And I'm stuck going round and round
Feeling stuck in repetitive patterns and cycles.
And I know these cycles
Acknowledging the destructive nature of negative cycles.
They just wanna take me down
Expressing vigilance against forces trying to bring one down.
So I keep my eyes to the hills
Choosing to focus on higher goals, symbolized by looking to the hills.
Not the things I see on the ground
Avoiding distractions and superficial concerns on the ground.
I can't keep living basic
Committing to a genuine and purposeful life, avoiding a stagnant existence.
Gotta live life can't fake it
-If I get stuck in the old like Fred Flintstone
-Then I just wont make it
-People say I'm acting different
Rejecting a previous harmful and instinct-driven self.
They want the old me
-But the old me was a guy who lived off instinct
-And that just created victims
-So I cant live like that
Affirming reliance on faith and not falling into negative patterns.
Yeah I make tunes with an 808
-But I can't get caught in the trap
-And God gives all that I need
-So you know that your boy don't lack
-I don't deal with lies just facts
Committing to truth and loyalty in relationships.
And I give it my all plus tax
-So I live my life tryna love my bros
-Cos I know that they got my back
-And that makes all of the difference
Acknowledging the gradual nature of personal change.
I know that change will come
-But it won't come through in an instant
-So I keep on fighting the system
Continuing to resist societal norms and growing in wisdom.
And I keep on growing in wisdom
-The past will stay in the past
-So now I gotta go that distance
-Yeah I gotta go that distance
Emphasizing the determination to go the distance in personal growth.
Can't be walking out a lie
Reiterating the need to focus on higher values and ideals.
Can't be falling outta love
-So I gotta set my mind
-On all the things above
-All the things above me
-All the things above me
-All the things above me
-All the things above me
