The Come Up

Ayo 6ix, this shit is crazy, right?
You remember when, uh, we used to be in Lenny's basement and shit?
Now where we at?
The Come Up, yeah

On the real, homie, on the real
Tell me how you feel
Everything I spit is gold, like I got a grill
Bet you people talkin' thought I'd sell out once I got a deal
Still me and my team
Only difference we live in the hills

We livin' a dream, these bitches perpetratin' the skills
At the soup kitchen with my mama, they givin' us meals
I was poor in my adolescence, but now I'm gettin' mills
Come on, tell me how it feels when that brand-new record spills

Homie, this the come up
I'm from where them drug dealers will run up
But I was never 'bout that shit, I just worked 'til the sun up
Oh, yeah, claimin' that they got it over there
But they never had it over there
Motherfucker, this the come up

Came a long way, this the come up
Been a long time comin', it's the come up
Been a long damn time, it's the come up
Yeah, yeah (uh)

Yeah, open your mind, this is work ethic
99 percent of you couldn't comprehend the method
'Cause you too wrapped up in the money and bitches
I get riches but never sacrifice the art, been real from the start

Now break it down, on that super-duper-killer flow
All these bitches in here make you wanna kill a hoe
It's kind of funny how the flow make me sound ignant
But you know the wordplay on another level, isn't it?

I been at it since a youngin on a dolo
'Til I got a team and said, "Bye" to doin' it solo
Bad bitches wanna fuck me on the low though
Tryna break the ice, she be like, "Can I get a photo?"

A long time comin', what you call that?
Shorty blowin' up my phone, I promise to call back
'Less you a crazy ass bitch (bitch)
I'ma tell your ass to fall back, this the come up

Came a long way, this the come up
Been a long time comin', it's the come up
Been a long damn time, it's the come up
Yeah, yeah, yeah

(Logic)
