NO CEILING

They told me,

“Know your place.”

I did.

And I outgrew it.

⸻

They put a roof on my dreams, said “don’t reach,”

Tryna cap vision like the sky got a lease.

They comfortable boxed in, livin’ contained,

I see walls as suggestions, not chains.

I been prayed over, pressed, pushed back,

Still stepped forward when the path went black.

You don’t tell a lion how far he can roam,

You don’t tell a king where to build his throne.

They said “be realistic,” I said “watch God,”

Faith don’t fit where the limits are.

I ain’t scared of heights, I’m scared of small,

So I keep risin’ ‘til there ain’t no wall.

⸻

No ceiling! (WHAT!)

No cap! (WHY!)

I don’t look up—

I redefine the sky!

No ceiling! (LISTEN!)

No bounds! (MOVE!)

Every limit you imagined—

I just walked through!

⸻

I seen men pray low ‘cause they scared to rise,

Ask for blessings but fear the size.

I don’t ask God for crumbs or space,

I ask Him to prepare me for weight.

They want elevation without isolation,

But growth require separation.

I been alone on this climb so long,

Heights don’t scare me—

I belong.

I don’t compare paths, I don’t envy lanes,

I honor my scars and the cost I paid.

You call it “too much,” I call it aligned—

God don’t give vision without provision in time.

⸻

No ceiling! (STAND UP!)

No limits! (NOW!)

I don’t break rules—

I transcend ‘em somehow!

No ceiling! (TELL ‘EM!)

No fear! (FACTS!)

If I see a boundary—

I disappear it!

⸻

The cage was never real.

The doubt was never mine.

The ceiling only existed

‘cause somebody else

was scared to climb.

⸻

They gon’ say I changed when I outgrow rooms,

But I stayed the same—

the vision bloomed.

You don’t apologize for expansion,

You honor the work behind the transformation.

I don’t boast, I don’t flex, I don’t shout,

My presence shift rooms without a sound.

When I walk in, ceilings feel low—

Not ‘cause I’m tall…

‘Cause I know.

I ain’t rush greatness, I respected time,

I didn’t chase power—I aligned.

So when you see me stand where you couldn’t dream,

Remember this:

there was never a ceiling.

⸻

NO CEILING! (NO!)

NO ROOF! (WHY!)

I don’t wait on permission—

I move!

NO CEILING! (LISTEN!)

NO FEAR! (STAND!)

God don’t cap destiny—

Understand!

⸻

The sky was never the limit.

It was the starting point.
