Give It Up for Me

Give it up for me let's make it work
Never understood the one who love me be the one I hurt
Now she understand that loving me gon' really take some work
Cause I'm still getting over from my history I might be cursed
From struggling to write up my creative work
To cooking up the hottest in the city like I'm David Burke
Momma lost her job so she too busy trynna make it work
Life ain't been a race but I'm still making sure I make it first
I dropped a tape & we lost Odd (shit)
I made this tape & I found God
But I'm still living like a na didn't meet him
I hear "Vondo gon' be rich, so why we working we don't need a job"
And ns way too focused on the car I'm in
They should focus more on the ovation from the audience
Nights are getting quicker, women focus on the girl I'm with
And Patience is a virtue, I'm just running out of tolerance (yea)

I came through, but
You know it ain't you
I just gotta do what a guy gotta do
In the midst of it all can't afford to lose you (yea)
And it's true
You went and got me so your dreams came true
Gotta get it done so I can be like you
I been working all night & I still come through
To you

Why I'm drinking, trynna sober up
I'm just trynna keep the girl I love without me fucking up
Lately we ain't really butting heads unless I pump it up
I'm on my last straw but it's time for me to suck it up
If the bottle isn't open, I won't open up
I'm the hottest youngin' coming up, these ns know wassup
Way too fuckin' busy trynna keep my girl from throwing up
My old hoes saying that I changed, asking me what's up
Been moving kinda slow, I'm feeling trapped here
But I'm way ahead from where I was last year
Searching for producers, I'll just do the shit myself
And ns once considered idols, now they just considered past peers
Keep it going, it get better
I'm giving paper to my dearest like a letter
I'm living on some loose ends, Michael Weller
And if I'm blessed enough, me and my goals won't die together

I came through, but
You know it ain't you
I just gotta do what a guy gotta do
In the midst of it all can't afford to lose you (yea)
And it's true
You went and got me so your dreams came true
Gotta get it done so I can be like you
I been working all night & I still come through
To you

It ain't hard for me to start it off
Ns talking to me how they'll make it got me nodding off
Been stopped playing bout this shit like I got carted off
All our favorite legends either dying or they falling off
I guess it's cool cause I been working to replace them
Your girls in ya DM saying "honey don't you date him"
He ain't a role model, why they love em, cause I hate em
You gon' fall, he gon' leave you for them bitches that betrayed em
That's the old me, can't a na grow
Coming back into your life, I think I earned a better role
And people swear they know me, but they don't from years ago
Recently it's been a Vondo you should really get to know
And don't text me when this shit drop
(Yea)
And don't text me when this shit drop
Saying what's ya favorite, I don't want it, you can save it
Yes, Lawd

I came through, but
You know it ain't you
I just gotta do what a guy gotta do
In the midst of it all can't afford to lose you (yea)
And it's true
You went and got me so your dreams came true
Gotta get it done so I can be like you
I been working all night & I still come through
To you
