lyrics
No Ceiling by B2
V1 Once upon a time when they tried to keep me down
They told me I would do nothing, so low, so low, so low
What a way to go
Obstacles, big hills, sweatin’ just to make it
No one ever saw me, I had to do it on my own
V2 Doors were closed, on my nose, slammed my toes…
So many dark days
The words that they said only seemed to make me
Stronger, longer But momma always said to me and I agree,
“boy you’re a winner with no limits” now Can yall feel me?
Bridge
Somehow I’m gonna make it, I gotta get a breakthrough
There ain’t no ceiling, that can hold me down
I know I’m gonna make it, (on&on) I’m never gonna fake it
There ain’t no ceiling, that can hold me down
Chorus
I got this feeling, that there ain’t no mountain high enough
There ain’t no valley low enough, that can hold me down
When they attack me, though tears fall from my eyes
I’m only gonna win,… Hashtag… No Ceiling
V3 I saw the bright lights coming at me
I heard the people screaming yellin’ for me
Saying “do it boy, do it boy”… oh yeah with style and grace
V4 Said I’m In the Lab, in my jeep, all week, no sleep
That’s how I do it yall…
I’m putting bricks in my building,I’m Tellin YALL ain’t no ceiling
Bridge
Somehow I’m gonna make it, I gotta get a breakthrough
There ain’t no ceiling, that can hold me down
I know I’m gonna make it, (on&on) I’m never gonna fake it
There ain’t no ceiling, that can hold me down
Chorus
I got this feeling, that there ain’t no mountain high enough
There ain’t no valley low enough, that can hold me down
When they attack me, though tears fall from my eyes
I’m only gonna win,… Hashtag… No Ceiling
Breakdown : “Give me a lil Stevie”
Stevie break: Do do do do, do do, Do do, do do, do do, do do etc…(twice)
