Got you where I want you motherfucker   I got five up on your dime   And if you wanna peep on something   Peep what I got stuck between your eyes      And since I don't believe a word you say   Save it for another, baby brother   Swallow time to pay      Up on the ladder they sing   How high?   Does a brother have to climb   To touch the light      But wait 'til I get done with you   If you tell me   "Don't get mixed up with the Devil"   That's exactly what I'm gonna do      Caught you while you waited   For your boy to come and fix you up again   Come a little closer, baby   I only wanna try to be your friend      Since I ain't got nothing left to lose   Got you where I want you, motherfucker   Don't you try to move      Up on the ladder they sing   How high?   Does a brother have to climb   To touch the light      Won't you take me up there with you?   You said you would   No one ever could shake   That ladder, baby like I could      So I wait   And I wait   And I wait   And I wait      Up on the ladder they sing   How high?   Does a brother have to climb   To touch the light      Won't you take me up there with you?   You said you would   No one ever could shake   That ladder, baby like I could   Like I could, like I could
