Up Now

I couldn’t stay at the bottom

I made the plays to get through

I stayed away from the drama

I stayed up late when they snoozed

I use pray ‘way my problems

I was afraid I would lose

Then I put problems aside and I made a way for the moves

I used to feel like shit was a dub but **** I’m up now

I used to feel I wouldn’t be something but now they wanna fuck with me

I used to feel like shit was a dub but **** I’m up now

Told my ****, for real they touching a mil’ long as they stuck with me

I can’t go back

To what I was

Bench warmer player, I work harder now

40 minute games, I’m a starter now

Blue Ivy’s in my wallet, I’m a Carter now

Cartograph the route, see the proof in the roof

Hardly leave the stu’

I don’t do the relaxing

**** “off the wall” like a booth full Jackson

Fuck Tom Hanks ‘cause I’m truthfully captain

Fuck my bank, I done moved up the bracket

Sun roof down so the rays hit the melanin

Spun through town trying to bathe in the element

Jump through round, getting raised like a pelican

Zion Will, pray my eyes don’t fill

Pray my fam’ stay alive and my shawty don’t stress

Pray my guys don’t die, never take last breaths

We been down so long, we deserve to see a check

‘Cause we up now

We been down so long, we deserve to see a check ‘cause we up now

We been down so long, we deserve to see a check ‘cause we up now

We been down so long, we deserve to see a check ‘cause we up now

Ay, I couldn’t stay at the bottom

I made the plays to get through

I stayed away from the drama

I stayed up late when they snoozed

I use pray ‘way my problems

I was afraid I would lose

Then I put problems aside and I made a way for the moves

I used to feel like shit was a dub but **** I’m up now

I used to feel I wouldn’t be something but now they wanna fuck with me

I used to feel like shit was a dub but **** I’m up now

Told my ****, for real they touching a mil’ long as they stuck with me

I can’t go back

To what I was
