Pre-hook
star light, star bright
first star i see tonight
shine some light on our journey
journey... journey... so long
Verse 1
i'm star gazing... never struck
above the clouds... looking up
know the creater made all of us know the creater love all of us
know the creator made all this stuff my God
we tryna go blow it up
president keep talking tuff...somebody gone call his bluff
keep all this division up... world war 3 gone be on us
all these fears, hate and lust
gone be the end of america like... boom
Hook
higher then i ever been
blasting off i'm in the wind
above the clouds when it rain
ain't nobody pulling me down
Bridge
way up, way up there, go way up, way up...
Verse 2
i'm sky high & i ain't on drugs
sober... with a major buzz
that's word to jacob weston straight edge i won't blend in
the cloth i'm cut from extra thin
gotta very small few next of kin gotta even smaller list of friends large chance you ain't getting in
at lift off time
this ships all mine fueled up and ready to glide
2 spot's me and my bride
noah's ark, 2 of a kind... gone
Hook
higher then i ever been
blasting off i'm in the wind
above the clouds when it rain
ain't nobody pulling me down
Bridge
way up, way up there, go way up, way up..
As a lead in to their next Illect Recordings album release, Sareem Poems & Ess Be collaborate with Sean C. Johnson on "Way Up There".
Sareem shares, "Way Up There is a song about not allowing anything to steal your joy. There are so many things that can bring you down. Focusing on the positive or the brighter side of things can be very difficult to do sometimes."
He continues, "I've purposefully put myself in this head-space. It's the best habit I've ever had. Many thanks to Sean C. Johnson. He came through and executed the hook perfectly."
