From the Bottom Up

Yeah, yeah

Uh-huh

What? Ayy, ayy Let’s get it

Huh? What? Say that again!

Too much talk, I don’t know where it end

Huh?

What? Who really your friend?

Money got long, now they calling again

Huh?

Huh? I can’t hear that

Came from the bottom,

ain’t going back

Huh?

What? Where was you at?

Now that I’m up,

everybody attached

I was broke, had the same shoes for a minute Now I’m

stepping in the room and everybody in it They was laughing at

the dream, now they asking how I did it I don’t argue

with opinions, I just handle my business Phone jumping,

everybody got a favor Same ones disappeared,

now they acting like my neighbor I remember eating noodles,

now I’m thinking about the paper

Had to turn the pressure into something I could major Huh?

What you mean? I been focused on the vision,

you ain’t part of the team Had to cut a couple ties

just to keep my circle clean Now I’m shining so bright they

can see exactly what I mean

Huh?

What? Say that again!

Too much talk, I don’t know where it end

Huh?

What? Who really your friend?

Money got long, now they calling again

Huh?

Huh? I can’t hear that

Came from the bottom,

ain’t going back

Huh?

What? Where was you at?

Now that I’m up,

everybody attached

I don’t need validation,

I remember who I was Had to build it from the floor,

now they asking for a plug Everybody yelling “brother,” but I question

where the love ‘Cause the moment you get something,

that’s when jealousy show up I stay ten when the pressure get

intense Turned a little bit of hope into a hundred percent If

it ain’t about the future,

I ain’t worried what you meant I’m too busy getting better,

every dollar got a scent

Huh?

That’s the question Everybody want the shine,

nobody mention the depression I made losses into lessons,

made the pain into progression Now I’m walking through the city like

I finally learned the message

Huh?

What? Say that again.

Ayy… Now they hear me.
