“Higher” by AP West is for the 2nd episode of the “Music Mystery Box” – a short-form series I’ve started on social media. In this song, I’ve combined the Classical genre with a Funk style while performing lyrics where the first 8 bars also need to be repeated (not exactly)… in REVERSE. Think “Backwords” by Joyner Lucas, which my lyrics were actually inspired by that song. ► Stream ‘Higher’ on Spotify/Apple Music: https://fanlink.to/HigherSingle Written & Produced by AP West Mixed & Mastered by AP West Follow my social media: https://www.tiktok.com/@apwestmusic https://www.instagram.com/apwestmusic https://www.facebook.com/apwestmusic © 2023 AP West ℗ 2023 AP West #apwest #higher #musicmysterybox LYRICS: I ain’t niching down and putting myself in a box Whether you like it or not Yeah, I got a couple dubs, but I had to take a lot of L’s When designing my plot to rise to the top I know it ain’t that fulfilling so I have to find enjoyment In working on my craft, this is full-time employment Business mindset, my dude, this is no hobby You want me to quit? I’m not you, little buddy Little buddy, I’m not you, that’s why you want me quittin’ This is no hobby, dude, my mind’s on business Got me working full-time on my craft Full-time enjoyment on my way to top, it don’t stop Designing my plot Had to take a couple L’s, had a couple dubs Whether you like it or not, a box’s not what I put myself in I ain’t niching down now, go ahead and tell them Higher, reaching my peak, I know I see it Flying, nowhere to be seen Higher, reaching my peak, I know I see it Flying, nowhere to be seen People taking credit and I’m noticing a pattern That the content looks familiar, that’s why I stopped the camera Focused on my one thing, shoutout Gary Keller Had to trust the vision, every idea truly matters You can have what want now Comparing yourself just ain’t the answer, I muted every account I don’t want to care for the numbers So congrats on your highlights But I rather highlight my high tides and my lows Numbers aren’t what I care about, all for show Every account is muted, yeah, whether you dispute it The answer’s not comparing yourself, so let it go What truly matters is your vision and your ideas Gary Keller shouting out “what you’re one thing?” To be clear Had to stop the camera and I’m noticing pattern that People ain’t giving creator credit, that is mad as f- Higher, reaching my peak, I know I see it Flying, nowhere to be seen Higher, reaching my peak, I know I see it Flying, nowhere to be seen
