brunt of the heat - jacob higdon lyrics

i’ve been stuck in my bills
and i’m stuck in my rhymes
stuck in the stories that help me to climb
climb to the top of my privileged class
if i don’t fall off
so, i’m running in place
and i’m hiding my face
hoping one day of winning first place
i’m sick of the silver and sick of the bronze
climbing the ladder the way to the top

i’m taking the brunt of the heat
taking the horse by the reins
taking the tide by the waves
feeling the pulse in my veins

i’ve been fighting
and i’ve been beat
i won’t stop
until i reach the top
they will know me
for being more than just
a lonely boy

i’ve been workin’ each day
to make my dad proud
sayin’ the right things
but never too loud
hoping one day when i raise my hand
that they might hear me
but i grew up in brooklyn
they’re on east side
with all the luxury money can buy
when i walk past them they don’t know my name
searching and scanning for every sign
i’m taking the brunt of the heat
taking the horse by the reins
taking the tide by the waves
feeling the pulse in my veins

i’ve been fighting
and i’ve been beat
but i won’t stop
until i reach the top
they will know me
for being more than just
a lonely boy

and i thought here we go again
i guess we’re starting from the end
start and stop it brick by brick
then never think of you again
in my head
in my heart
girl, you’re tearing me apart
and though i don’t come from a legacy
my love for you runs endlessly

i got my future on my mind
but this girl’s staring in my eyes
when will i finally be *
when will she finally see *
that i’m enough?
am i enough?
i’ve been fighting
and i’ve been beat
i’ve been trying
to compete
but i will not stop
until i make him proud
proud

taking the brunt of the heat
doin’ the best that i can
taking the tide by the waves
slowly becoming a man

i’ve been fighting
and i’ve been beat
i won’t stop until
i reach the top
they will know me
for being more than just
a lonely boy

i’ll be enough
finally enough

i’ve been stuck in my bills
and i’m stuck in my rhymes
stuck in the stories that help me to climb
climb to the top of my privileged class
but i won’t fall off
