Devotion (The Come Up)

Aye
Turn this mic up so they can hear me for real
This that devotion you feel me
Shout out to Earth Wind and Fire man
One of my favorite groups
RIP Lottie Mae

Hold up, we 'bout to go up
Cracking seals, sho' nuff, we 'bout to pour up
Buss it down, hold up, we 'bout to roll up
We've been down enough but this the come up, aye

Let's put this shit in motion
Let's put this shit in motion

We've been down for too long we finna come up
Made mistakes as a child I had to grow up
I was sleep for awhile, chasing dreams for miles
My friends slowing me down until I woke up

Thinking 'bout where I came and I get choked up
Wish that pain on no one
But I know someone still going through it
Pray that I can get you through it with my music
Motivation like a drug, come get under this influence

Me and the other rappers not congruent
I'm tryna get my people out the ruins
Don't be a shooter nigga be a student
Take that drug money flip it and clean it be an entrepreneur

We got too much sauce to be giving our money to Gucci
Let's own our own show them folks that we're more than consumers
When they said we used to be kings that shit wasn't a rumor
Word to Martin Luther, tryna get richer than Mansa Musa

Came a long way from them sewers
Remember cleaning my grandma's house listening to this music
Black Jesus on the wall shawty Hallelujah
In church every Sunday spirit moving through ya

I used to wear my heart on my sleeve
But them streets taught me never have no sympathy
Chase a bag till I get fatigue
Throw away my dreams or run after it like a option read
Shit I'm stuck in between

Thought I knew everything I had to take heed
From my OG's yeah they planted seeds, and grew a better me
No more following sheep, I had to take the lead
Now I'm balling in the league like that boy Embiid

I'm a king and my reign supreme
Tryna get folks on the wave till I got a fleet
Turn the streets into Black Wall Street
Melanin leaking out your speakers put this shit here on repeat

Let's get focused and stay focused
Chase a bag bro don't wait for it
It's coming sooner than you think homie

Weeping endure for the night but it's joy in the morning
Rolling up cracking seals my cup it runneth over
RIP Lottie Mae, you influenced this notion
Hope you know everything you taught me was dully noted

Forever devoted, to see my people growing
No more talking let's put this shit in motion

Hold up, we 'bout to go up
Cracking seal, sho' nuff, we 'bout to pour up
Buss it down, hold up, we 'bout to roll up
We've been down enough but this the come up, aye

Let's put this shit in motion
Let's put this shit in motion

Hold up, we 'bout to go up
Cracking seal, sho' nuff, we 'bout to pour up
Buss it down, hold up, we 'bout to roll up
We've been down enough but this the come up, aye

Hold up, we 'bout to go up
Cracking seal, sho' nuff, we 'bout to pour up
Buss it down, hold up, we 'bout to roll up
We've been down enough but this the come up, aye

Let's put this shit in motion
Let's put this shit in motion
Let's put this shit in motion
