Came Up

I don't know about tomorrow, so I get it today
Ain't missing a play, to struggle making minimum wage
I'm getting this cake, if that means that I'm lifting this gauge
Won't miss with the K, you tough till you get hit in the face
And when I touch down in the D, I hit up Swifty McVay
To cop a burner, so I'm straight when in the Michigan State
They say the root of all evil kin to Benjamin Frank
So we gone sprint to the dust until our ligaments
break
Man, this ain't come overnight, nobody made me a plate
Was running late, I ain't expect no one to
save me a place
Shit I salute the ones who made it
I ain't get angry and hate
Cause when you live inside the ego, it's a
dangerous place
I made some space and paved my own lane
Hit the streets like road rage
No one gave me shit, so when they offer I say no thanks
No breaks, no days off, I'ma go getter, go-rilla
Give it to them raw, man, they get no filler

Had to get my shit out the mud, I wouldn't
change a thing
When life throw you obstacles, fuck it, you gotta make a way
Not everyone is built for the circle, some wanna take your place I did it by myself, now the money coming I can't complain
I really struggled in them trenches 'til I came up
Was really buckled in them prisons 'til I came up
You wasn't fucking with me then, but now I came up
Keep that same energy you had before you changed
up

I'm making paper, a high staker, taller than skyscrapers Diamonds are shining like colored Now or Laters
They caught the vapors, I got your lady, throwing away her vibrator
I'm finally able to tip the waiter, a green ass Benjamin Franklin
Thinking about the days I was hanging on the ave, just gang banging
Slanging dope while it was raining
My baby mama complaining, draining my energy while Satan
Just got these lame niggas dropping my name at the police station
Beating cases, staying anxious, living dangerous Putting balloons inside my girlfriend's anus
Fill it with cocaine, she go to the bathroom and shit it out
Then passing it during the visitation
No wasting time or another dime
I'm getting mine till I'm 105 I spend it wise and stay away from these fake ass guys who despise me

Had to get my shit out the mud, I wouldn't change a thing
When life throws you obstacles, fuck it, you gotta make a way
Not everyone is built for the circle, some wanna take your place
I did it by myself, now the money coming, I can't complain
I really struggled in them trenches 'til I came up
Was really buckled in them prisons 'til I came up
You wasn't fucking with me then, but now I came up
Keep that same energy you had before you changed up

I'm Past beef, I could get you lined up half sleep
With red eyes on the red eye
These rap geeks couldn't imitate the energy when we half deep, we run 'em down like athletes
Me not shooting is a healthy contribution to conflict resolution, call it my personal evolution
Drag weed, the smoker, Mac in the holsters clapping the toaster at the jokester's rapping it bogus
I'm a changed man, shifted the game plan
Just know we ain't playing with people we can't stand
They not allowed, gotta file
Updating my information on the fakers in the crowd
All about my paper, cause paper gets it now
I used to be a dreamer, meaning just a sleeper
But sleeping ain't the way to go when walls are coming down
Chilling with your feet up, and now they made believers

Had to get my shit out the mud, I wouldn't change a thing
When life throw you obstacles, fuck it, you gotta make a way
Not everyone is built for the circle, some wanna take your place
I did it by myself, now the money coming, I can't complain
I really struggled in them trenches 'til I came up
Was really buckled in them prisons 'til I came up
You wasn't fucking with me then, but now I came up
Keep that same energy you had before you changed up
