The Climb - Everlast

I built a wall

I built it strong

I built it tall

And every single day, it’s just another climb

Worked so long and hard and I still got nothing at all

There ain’t no reason to this grind

Heart is cold, my soul is old, my wall is stone

If you came for free love, don’t waste your time

I built a wall

I built it strong

I built it tall

Every single day, it’s just another climb

Don’t waste my time

Unless you came to climb

Unless you came to climb

Brick by brick, flesh and bone

Bound here this behind this wall alone

Protecting this heart, carved in stone

The stone is a diamond, it’s part of a throne

Part of my throne, that’s the seat of a king

I’m looking for a queen, nah mean, Norma Jean

Where you at, (baby gal, what’s your tattoo key?)

What’s your history, tell your mystery

A private dancer, hold up, pause it

Baby, everybody got some bones in their closet

They just hatin', it’s all chit-chatter

And the feels of a heart, girl it really don’t matter

Lime to the lemon, lemon to the lime

If murder was an art, I’d make your heart mine

I’d put it in a box to cherish for all time

Your love will never perish, girl, just make the climb

I built a wall

I built it strong

I built it tall

And every single day, it’s just another climb

Worked so long and hard and I still got nothing at all

There ain’t no reason to this grind

Heart is cold, my soul is old, my wall is stone

If you came for free love, don’t waste your time

I built a wall

I built it strong

I built it tall

Every single day, it’s just another climb

Don’t waste my time

Cause everyday the grind, it just gets harder

Unless you came to climb

And final finish line keeps looking farther

Don’t waste my time

They need all the sheep out to the slaughter

Unless you came to climb

I’m brushing my teeth with holy water

Don’t waste my time

One step away from my damnation

Unless you came to climb

Two days away from my starvation

Don’t waste my time

Gotta pay for my daughter’s medication

Unless you came to climb

So I’ll sell you a piece of my salvation

Don’t you waste my time

I built a wall

I built it strong

I built it tall

And every single day, it’s just another climb

Worked so long and hard and I still got nothing at all

There ain’t no reason to this grind

Heart is cold, my soul is old, my wall is stone

If you came for free love, don’t waste your time

I built a wall

I built it strong

I built it tall

Every single day, it’s just another climb

Don’t waste my time

Unless you came to climb

Unless you came to climb
