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 and put 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
This is why I'm running game
This is why I'm in my lane
This is why you bitches lame

This is why you feel my pain
This is why I got no shame
This is why they call me Z
This is why I'm getting paid

Haters I had overcame
Lawyers I had overpaid
Records I had over played
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)

And I can't afford to fall...

This is how I got my name
This is how I got my fame
You and me are not the same
This is why you give me praise
Try and 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
Intangible
and highly flammable
Rah dog eat dog
I'm cannibal
Top of the food chain
You my steak frites
Get down
I won't say please
Right now
I'm royalty
All men amen worship me

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

Give me praise
Give me praise
Give me praise
Give me praise
Give me praise
Give me praise
Give me praise
