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.
