[Verse 1]
Started at the bottom, and I'm far from the top
But even at the peak doesn't mean I'm gonna stop
Got the boys on the horn (Yo, where we goin'?) Up!
See, my squad has a motto, "Like our balls, we don't drop"
Just a flock of spring chickens who are flyin' the coop
Put the bag on my back, Samwise of the group
I got the stamina to handle any ascension
With that Harry Styles flow, One Direction
[Chorus]
Get up off the ground and move
Life is a climb
Step up to my altitude
I'll throw you a line
You gotta leave the boy behind to rise a man
All it takes is a friend and his hand to make it up to the mountaintop
Every time I think I peaked, I've not
[Verse 2]
Uh, one minute it's a tropical scene
Next, you'll battle the elements without topical cream
Lookin' for somethin' to eat? Like a mysterious fruit
And if it gives you the runs, at least it's makin' you move
This is survival of the fittest, I sorta don't mind it
Burning calories on my Lord of the Flies shit
And if they send a search party made up of grown-ups
Hope they're not the type tryna find me on Roblox
[Chorus]
Get up off the ground and move
Life is a climb
Step up to my altitude
I'll throw you a line
You gotta leave the boy behind to rise a man
All it takes is a friend and his hand to make it up to the mountaintop
Every time I think I peaked, I've not
[Verse 3]
You'll find no frontier I'm not gonna explore
Farmin' so much aura, Patagonia-core
And if I'm fated to fall, from the grave I will soar
Motivatin' my homies with posthumous support
As long as we stick together, we got each other's backs
Sacks are chock full of rope, plenty pocketed snacks
If I get Donner-Party-hungry, then this shit it getting real
I don't mean to be a flirt but you're lookin' like a meal (Mm-mm)
[Bridge]
Watch your balance, 'bout to lose it
Check that luggage, pal, kaboom (Shit)
Out of rations, now we're doomed
(Yo, do you want that 'mallow, dude?)
Thank God that I brought Bing Bong along
For a little kumbaya with our campfire song
I got every stat that I'm gonna need to climb maxed
We haven't hit the peak but you'll feel the climax
[Chorus]
Get up off the ground and move
Life is a climb
Step up to my altitude
I'll throw you a line
You gotta leave the boy behind to rise a man
All it takes is a friend and his hand to make it up to the mountaintop (To the mountaintop)
Every time I think I peaked, I have not
[Outro]
(You stand corrected)
If you thought I'd fall, because I did not
(I stand erected)
Like a monument on the mountaintop
