Ups & Downs

Try to do positive, I talk to the lord
My tongue is my weapon so I walk with my sword
Silent but violent the way that I be
Chained to the world, rap the way to feel free
See, follow my lead, up the way that I go
Create another flow and say the things that I know
Like trust the people that stay close to your side
Words are only words if they ain't ready to ride
I don't (don't) trust no bitches that I talk to
Because when it's over then they really start to haunt you
The root of evil got us scheming for things
We really not knowing of the evil it brings
Torned down families, cities got bombed
Bush ain't no better but he's blaming Sadam
The world knowing this but we simply accept
Even your government is cutting the check
But we close our eyes, look the other side
But on the other side orphans, a mother died
Labeled a terrorist, I fight for my rights
If it wasn't for you I had no reason to fight
Spill blood of the innocent, hope for the children
Multi internationals generate milions
Reason to bare arms, protect what is mine
Violent by design, is just a sign of the time

We going up (up)
When the things go right
Moving up be the reason
For a nigga to write
We going down (down)
When everything go wrong
People be depending
My brother stay strong
We going up (up)
If you want to succeed
Split the profit with your fam
Give them all that they need
We going down (down)
Don't know what to do
Stay stuck moving up man
It's all up on you

I choose health over money, try to live life
Try to be as honest with the words that I write
But at times the devil does temp me
Angel in disguise, the lord must have meant me
Focused is the way that I do things
The more I think the deeper that my mind sinks
The boy Con in a league of his own
You don't listen right now, you might read it in stone
I got love for the people that i'm close to
Biceps get bigger, mentally I grow too
Knowledge is the key, read a book to get high
Before the last chapter, head up in the sky
Some pull me down but I stay on my feet
The day that you listen is the day i'll retreat
Here for a reason, for a cause that I fight
Locked up in the booth, record the stuff that I write
Grinding for real, no euro in my pocket
But drop the beat and i'm ready to rock it
Back to the essence, taking it way back
All for the music, you beefing like stray cats
But not Con, Con stray from the norm
Scientist in the lab, he generates bombs
Like switch the wire, push the button and we're all gone
I can't make it well i'm proving that you all wrong

We going up (up)
When the things go right
Moving up be the reason
For a nigga to write
We going down (down)
When everything go wrong
People be depending
My brother stay strong
We going up (up)
If you want to succeed
Split the profit with your fam
Give them all that they need
We going down (down)
Don't know what to do
Stay stuck moving up man
It's all up on you
