Al Green
I Gotta Be More (Take Me Higher)
[Verse 1]
Gotta be more than a cigarette smoker, a practical joker, more
Just super fly, tryna be high, more
They understand a better man, more
Than a demonstrator, obligator, take me higher

[Chorus]
Up to the sky, make me cry, take me higher
Where the birds don't fly, won't you take me higher
Up to the sky, higher

[Verse 2]
One thing odd it seems I’ve been a bad boy
I don’t know just where to turn
Can't turn you soul burn won’t you take me higher

[Chorus]
Up to the sky where the birds fly take me higher
I want to see the golden city higher
Come on roll with me take me higher

[Verse 3]
Gotta be more (higher)
Than a friendly brother without the other more (higher)
Than your pride that’s inside be more (higher)
Than friends that do you in be more (higher)
Than the righteous one up to take me higher
[Chorus]
Up to the sky, make me cry, take me higher
…. higher
Up to the sky make me cry higher
