Honor Yourself (The Higher Calling Remix)

by Pete Wurthy

/

lyrics

Intro:
Can y'all hear this
Queen City represent, Queen City represent
For all y'all sexy folk out there
Undervaluing everything that you are
Everything God made you to be (word)
Well follow my lead yo, follow my lead yo
Check me out one time

Verse 1:
So this how y'all want it, I'll stay forsaken
I'm hot but y'all just let me lie, like bacon
I've taken no prisoners, but I'm in the cell block
Props are concealed with a reinforced lock
Who's gonna spark my career, and crank it
I'm slept on more times than childhood blankets
My head must stay above, trolls I'm not afraid of
I really wanna show my fans what I'm made of
But who's gonna send me to that utopia
Put the thanks on the table like a cornucopia
I try but come up short like Maria Sharipova
But it's just humility that I'm showing ya
I feel like a hard working salary reduction
My critics don't think I go through post production
I chase the snare, race it with my vocal percussion
Skeptics I be hushin', I still get fame abduction

Hook:
You gotta treat life like you're coming for the belt
You got the flamethrower and them haters gonna melt
As for my advice betta know your wealth
Don't let them show you how to honor yourself
You gotta treat life like you're coming for the belt
You got the flamethrower and them haters gonna melt
As for my advice betta know your wealth
Don't let them show you how to honor yourself

Verse 2:
So I guess it's up to me to do right for myself
Really can't blame my luck on anything else
Fame or no fame, I'll still rock to every bit of
Honor, displayed in my last name
Gotta give my all despite the outcome
Cuz Wurth is a monster, I won't be outdone though
It's a challenge to keep this mindset daily
Went from request-less to the voice like Carson Daly
Outlet, are these rhymes, and I guess, these hard times
Are the pits, but I grind, I’m the only one-of-my-kind
Give me some slack kid, my vision I obeyed
I need to put these cowards on lay away
So they say, if you really half as dope as you say
You'll make it to the top by any kinda way
Today, never tomorrow, procrastination cause sorrow
It's respect or there'll be hell to pay (hell to pay)

Hook:
You gotta treat life like you're coming for the belt
You got the flamethrower and them haters gonna melt
As for my advice betta know your wealth
Don't let them show you how to honor yourself
You gotta treat life like you're coming for the belt
You got the flamethrower and them haters gonna melt
As for my advice betta know your wealth
Don't let them show you how to honor yourself

Verse 3:
I'm seizing the game homies home call me choker
Cuz with this music thang I strangle a no joker
Apply the seasoning like a pork shoulder
With a saturated flow like a Super Soaker
Wasn't sure befo' but now I'm bound to blow
I'm the emcee tribes ceremonial dancin' fo'
Pick my doubt off the flo' now hit the booth
You could say I'm Questlove the way I'm back to my Roots
So I'll strap up my boots, give my most prime performance
Live larger than life with an ego enormous
Charging naysayers back like a mighty Taurus
All summer 16s that's what I gift between the choruses
Consider my pride was lost now found
Show these clowns around I'm not here to clown around
I'm war torn and battle tested
Typecast me as an everyday person will get your development arrested

Hook:
You gotta treat life like you're coming for the belt
You got the flamethrower and them haters gonna melt
As for my advice betta know your wealth
Don't let them show you how to honor yourself
You gotta treat life like you're coming for the belt
You got the flamethrower and them haters gonna melt
As for my advice betta know your wealth
Don't let them show you how to honor yourself
You gotta treat life like you're coming for the belt
You got the flamethrower and them haters gonna melt
As for my advice betta know your wealth
Don't let them show you how to honor yourself
You gotta treat life like you're coming for the belt
You got the flamethrower and them haters gonna melt
As for my advice betta know your wealth
Don't let them show you how to honor yourself
