Above the Rim x Running Up That Hill (Mashup 🔥)

This very slow track features a powerful, high-register Black female vocal layered over deep, moody piano chords, Sparse percussion—deep kick, subtle snaps—emerges as the track unfolds, Bass rumbles beneath, with mournful strings and atmospheric pads creating a dark, expansive texture

Mashup

[Intro – whispered over pads]  
Mmm… yeah  
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh  
Ayy, ayy, ayy… yeah  
Mmm… yeah

[Verse 1 – A leads, B underneath]  
Some brothers, I gotta keep it close to me  
Some brothers, I don't want them close to me  
When I die, God send me some angels  
'Cause this life ain't what it's supposed to be

Only time I feel alive is on a flight  
Is when I do a line or when I do a show  
When I'm inside a woman or a liquor store  
That's the only time I'm not a miserable

[gritty, distant]  
Do you wanna feel how it feels? (Yeah, yeah, yo)  
Do you wanna know, know that it doesn’t hurt me? (Yeah, yeah, yo)

All my life, all my life, all my life, all my life, I tried  
I could do anything, I could do anything, but I can't die

[Pre-Chorus – B with A ad-libs]  
If I only could  
I'd make a deal with God  
And I'd get Him to swap our places  
(Be runnin' up that road, be runnin' up that hill)  
With no problems

[hook ad-lib]  
Oh, you wanna be my wife?  
Let me see you be a freak  
Can you do a 69?  
Then we could be like Bonnie and Clyde  
We can do it big like ready to die

[Chorus – call & response]  
Say if I only could  
I'd make a deal with God  
(Be runnin' up that road, be runnin' up that hill)  
With no problems

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh  
Ayy, ayy, ayy  
I could do anything, I could do anything, but I can't die

[Verse 2 – A takes it darker]  
I said, "Shit the judge," they tried to make a mural out of me  
"Put your name in cursive," they wanna put the 12 around me  
Never will I ever, I told you I'm a veteran  
It's raining outside, get under my umbrella

You get it? Yeah, I know you did it  
I can see it in your eyes, I know what you want  
You can see it in my eyes, you know what I want  
I want all the smoke, no cigars  
Said it with my chest, no push-up bra

Told me that you got it, so tell me where it is  
No conversation unless it's big business

[Bridge – B answers]  
You  
It's you and me  
It's you and me  
You won't be unhappy

[Pre-Chorus – blended]  
If I only could  
I'd make a deal with God  
And I'd get Him to swap our places  
(Be runnin' up that road, be runnin' up that hill)  
With no problems

All my life, all my life, all my life, all my life, I tried  
I could do anything, I could do anything, but I can't die

[Drop – hook stack]  
Say if I only could  
I'd make a deal with God  
(Be runnin' up that hill, be runnin' up that hill)  
With no problems

Oh, you wanna be my wife?  
Let me see you be a freak  
Then we could be like Bonnie and Clyde  
We can do it big like ready to die

[Verse 3 – final push]  
Okay, that shit was cool, but I'ma need a second one  
Bring me that pack, bring me another one  
I got big plans, I know you got a bigger one

Some brothers, I gotta keep it close to me  
Some brothers, I don't want them close to me  
When I die, God send me some angels  
'Cause this life ain't what it's supposed to be

[Final Chorus – tight mix]  
If I only could  
I'd make a deal with God  
And I'd get Him to swap our places  
(Be runnin' up that road, be runnin' up that hill)  
With no problems

All my life, all my life, all my life, all my life, I tried  
I could do anything, I could do anything, but I can't die

Say if I only could  
Oh

[Outro – whispered comedown]  
Mmm… yeah  
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh  
Mmm… yeah  
Ayy, ayy, ayy…
