Lookin' up, starlight, take me there Yeah, I wanna fly, won't go, bankroll Wanna feel the rush of the front row Paycheck, late again Barely hangin' on to the apartment Doin' it my way Ain't nothin' free about the freeway But I'm miles off the ground I'm leavin' this home at a city divide And I watch it go down Ooh, cause that song gon' take me with it, hey And I'm buildin' a fire, fire, oh I'm buildin' it higher, higher, oh I'm gonna run this empire, higher, oh And if it goes out in flames, the smoke gon' spell my name Lipstick, red wine, long nights, it's a lifestyle So good to the last drop You can see me light up from the rooftops But I'm miles off the ground I'm leavin' this home at a city divide And I watch it go down Ooh, cause that song gon' take me with it, hey And I'm buildin' a fire, fire, oh I'm buildin' it higher, higher, oh I'm gonna run this empire, higher, oh And if it goes out in flames, the smoke gon' spell my name And I'm buildin' a fire, fire, oh I'm buildin' it higher, higher, oh I'm gonna run this empire, higher, oh And if it goes out in flames, the smoke gon' spell my name
