lyrics

The Come Up
[Verse 1]
Greatest in the city man I knew that from the jump
Greatest in the world give me about a month
No need for me to front I got the stats to back me up
I done rapped in front of legends and did shows with less than five people in attendance
I was cutting class I was slacking on attendance
Always kept my eyes focused on the mission
Took an intermission became more disciplined
Now the world listening
Still a long way to go on this unpavened road still I gotta pay the tolls
Aye these the stories that I wrote they be coming from the soul
Was on the low but everybody know
They be like

[Chorus]
Wassup aye wassup we on the come up
Hustle from sun down to the sun up
Sun up sun up sun up sun up
We on we on the come up the come up

[Verse 2]
Sometimes you headlining sometimes you opening
Sometimes you hit a lick and then you broke again
I was broke but never broken just waited on my moment
Faced all types of opponents never folded
I had the drive to keep going never slowing
The seeds that I planted still growing
My light is still glowing, the fight still goes on
And every time I hop on a track you know I goes off
Still they doze off as I get these flows off
But as long as my heart in it I’m never parting with it (yeah)
Look this song for anyone who got a dream
No matter how large it be or how small your team
It’s really not that far all you got to do reach
People used to front on me but now I’m hard to reach
Originality is something you can never teach
Bringing life into this game leaving tracks deceased


[Chorus]
Wassup aye wassup we on the come up
Hustle from sun down to the sun up
Sun up sun up sun up sun up
We on we on the come up the come up
