Up and Coming
Up and coming I just got a dollar and a dream
I ain't scared to grind I'm finna eat by any means
Before they strip my life away, I'm finna make it rain
Used to hurt my feelings, now I'm bout to spit this pain
Used to ride the bus, but now I'm on that money train
Image in my brain, like I'm Martin Luther King
Nigga
Up and coming I just got a dollar and a dream
Get that money for the family, I go to the extreme
Up and coming I just got a dollar and a dream
I ain't scared to grind I'm finna eat by any means
Before they strip my life away, I'm finna make it rain
Used to hurt my feelings, now I'm bout to spit this pain
Used to ride the bus, but now I'm on that money train
Image in my brain, like I'm Martin Luther King
Nigga
Up and coming I just got a dollar and a dream
Get that money for the family, I go to the extreme
The world turned a blind eye to me
Deaf to the hate
But I ain't disabled
I'm just doing what I'm able
Most of what I did was dreams to me
But I'm still dreaming
But your boy ain't sleeping
I just bring them checks in
But I barely break even
Tryna see the positive
My bank account on negative
And I'm just tryna live
Tryna upgrade my lifestyle
Off of albums and freestyles
But first I gotta get my money right
Because even though my shit sounds tight
I can't afford studio time or the mixes
Feels like you need a Ferrari to drive the road to the riches
And I'll be damned if a nigga starts a Gofundme
Cuz I done showed love and not once did niggas try to go fund me
I drop my music that shit barely do numbers
He started rapping yesterday, he got the song of the summer
I'm on the gram,
He on stage, ladies hands on his chest
Meanwhile, I'm stuck tryna study for a test
That makes me heated sometimes
And sometimes
I think bout quitting this shit
Then I remember all the times they said I wouldn't be shit
So then I take my pen and pad
Think bout mom and dad
And how I owe it to my fam
To give this everything I have
But I'm just
Up and coming I just got a dollar and a dream
I ain't scared to grind I'm finna eat by any means
Before they strip my life away, I'm finna make it rain
Used to hurt my feelings, now I'm bout to spit this pain
Used to ride the bus, but now I'm on that money train
Image in my brain, like I'm Martin Luther King
Nigga
Up and coming I just got a dollar and a dream
Get that money for the family, I go to the extreme
Up and coming I just got a dollar and a dream
I ain't scared to grind I'm finna eat by any means
Before they strip my life away, I'm finna make it rain
Used to hurt my feelings, now I'm bout to spit this pain
Used to ride the bus, but now I'm on that money train
Image in my brain, like I'm Martin Luther King
Nigga
Up and coming I just got a dollar and a dream
Get that money for the family, I go to the extreme
And I remember
Cold nights, past the winter
Life full of L's
I'm just trying to be a winner
Cuz bodies in my city be dropping way past the winter
And them bullets even hitting the kids, like fuck a filter
Gah damn
That's the type of shit that makes you say fuck Uncle Sam
Put us in conditions where it's death or go to jail
Price on a black man's life must be on sale
Tryna sell my bros to heaven or hell
All them late nights I prayed for opportunities
Tryna give back to my community
And they don't even fuck with me
Support is nonexistent
It ain't bout how we all gone make, it's bout who's gone make it
My nigga that's some bullshit
I'm tired of my average being average
Time in this jungle really turned me to a savage
And I ain't got no team, so I'm the only one I manage
Like ima manage
Even after life does some damage to my ego
And my confidence
I make decisions and always accept the consequence
Never move with incompetence
But
At this point, I'm finding words that rhyme
In due time I hope they peep my grind
I tell these niggas that I'm
Up and coming I just got a dollar and a dream
I ain't scared to grind I'm finna eat by any means
Before they strip my life away, I'm finna make it rain
Used to hurt my feelings, now I'm bout to spit this pain
Used to ride the bus, but now I'm on that money train
Image in my brain, like I'm Martin Luther King
Nigga
Up and coming I just got a dollar and a dream
Get that money for the family, I go to the extreme
Up and coming I just got a dollar and a dream
I ain't scared to grind I'm finna eat by any means
