High Road Lyrics - The Rising Tied - Fort Minor

Let's go, y'all 

These people are runnin' off at the mouth 

Tryin' to convince me that I'm runnin' on empty 

Tryin' to convince themselves, that the record with Jay was a fluke 

That the record that I'm makin' is a mistake, and I can't take this 

Lemme, tell you where I'm at with this 

You bastards, are gonna have to take back that shit 

I'm not plastic and fake 

When I make tracks, I take facts and lay 'em out for the masses 

You assholes are gonna see soon that I'm not playin' 

Start askin' me the names that I'm not sayin' 

But I'm tryin' to be bigger than the bickerin' 

Bigger than the petty name calling under the breath talking 

Rumors and labels and categorization 

I'm like a struggling doctor, no patients 

But you can say, what you want about me 

Keep talking, while I'm walking away 

You can say, what you have to say 

'Cuz my mind's made up anyway 

I'm takin' the high road going above you 

This is the last time that I'm gonna trust you 

You can say, what you have to say 

'Cuz my mind's made up anyway 

All that bullshit you talk might work a lot 

But it's not gonna work today, not gonna work today 

You people are runnin' off at the mouth 

Tryin' to make me take myself off safety 

Tryin' to make my friends turn their backs on the team we built 

Buildin' up some mistaken information and I can't take this 

Lemme, spell it out plain for you 

Angry groups complain about the things we do 

I'm not changin' direction, I'm steppin' my game up 

Maintaining my name, the same way I came up 

You're gonna see that I'm not playing 

Start askin' the names, that I'm not sayin' 

But I'm trying not to mention the names of people 

Who wanna sight and attention 

You like the hype but pretendin' you're part of the picture won't pass 

You're like a high school dropout, no class 

And you can say, what you want about me 

Keep talking, while I'm walking away, bitch 

You can say, what you have to say 

'Cuz my mind's made up anyway 

I'm taking the high road going above you 

This is the last time that I'm gonna trust you 

You can say, what you have to say 

'Cuz my mind's made up anyway 

All that bullshit you talk might work a lot 

But it's not gonna work today, not gonna work today 

Why does it always have to be 

Somebody's always watching me 

All I really need is some room to 

Breathe, breathe, breathe 

Is anybody out there listening? 

'Cuz I can't stand to keep this in 

All I really want, I'll say it again, again 

You can say, what you have to say 

'Cuz my mind's made up anyway 

I'm taking the high road going above you 

This is the last time that I'm gonna trust you 

You can say, what you have to say 

'Cuz my mind's made up anyway 

All that bullshit you talk might work a lot 

But it's not gonna work today, not gonna work today
