Peak
Howard & Peak Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Outta state
Outta mind
Gotta get what’s mine
Yeah my hopes crushed
At the finish line
Little Writers block
Can’t finish lines
In the pit of me
An epiphany
But, I dived in
I’m locked in
In the hot seat
Time do what’s right for me
Never dreamed this life for me
Couldn’t even see all the heights I seen
Wonder the rhymes so tight on me
I ain’t really aim for celebrity
The fame ain’t much but an asset
I just wanna die happy if anything put my
plaques in my casket
Cause I decided by, by any means I’ll be more than fantastic
Don’t worry bout me till I blow up (blow up)
The last project I had the juice, now I’m whipping up the club soda aye
Bubble up, drop the top yeah
Catch me in the club, VIP, 2 step smooth like salsa
All ya daddy watch ya daughters
Who ever knew I pop more off pop
Vibes high like flying saucers
Don’t worry bout me till I blow up (blow up)
Cause the same ones that say they love you be the same ones that hurt the glow up
Just different vines off the same tree
Different paths, in a different V
Living Two tenfold epitomes
Something rising from the pit of me
Whoever knew I fall ‘cause there’s no one ever helping me holding up the beams
So the monsters get control of me
Demons flying out the closest
The hardest things is to tell your truths, but the honesty dripping out of me
Like the tap water out the fausset
Everyday wanna tap out
Don’t you hate how we alive
but it hurt inside,
Cause we going through rigor mortis
Why you focused on the Forbes list?
Why you focused on the Porsches?
My main goal in life spread love and awareness
Better watch out and stay cautious
Better hold on before the force hit ya
Get the weight off my shoulders
Had to buckle down and learn the fork lift
Graduated then the friends faded and the money came in and the money went out
Now I’m feigning I can sniff scent out
Make a killing killing beats when I vent out
Probably failed a couple times baby look now
Only time I’m stepping out is for mula
If you cannot beat this jump on the wave
Shout me out, when the ghost out the grave
Self doubt, put myself in pain
But self love, will revive through the plague
All the figures I invested for fame
Now it’s all figured it out
If you feeling hurt, when I’m speaking out
Ya no where close, to seeing my rage

My peak
Dontáe’s Peak
My Peak
Dontáe’s Peak

Yo
Hold up
How I hit my highest when I feel my lowest
So much built up fire, all this make me nervous
When all that I desire isn’t much to fulfill
Family up in the hills
Mental stronger than my physical build
Stay stronger than the moment
Still so hopeful for my moment
This ain’t just about paying some bills
This ain’t just about my mama working two jobs still
Or my sisters growing up in the fields
I gotta chill for the moment
And deal with the moment
Can’t always run from what’s coming
In my ways I’m so molded




Gotta release what I’m holding uh
Get through the moment, come on
