The Come Up Lyrics

"Yeah! You already know what it is mane it's-"

I still got a mill' on my mind, after all of this time I ask how can I start it up

Was bad in them trenches, the only good takeaway from it, that dirt made me harden up

Knowing a part of my heart is still spreading the love, but my past got it guarded up

Let us throw up them drinks, pour up a glass, time to be free, time to party up

How many times did you fail

How many hits did you sell just rapping on beats

How many ships went to sail

I look at myself, and told' em it's my prophecy

The road on the come up alone will set you between the strong and the weak

But it's your opportunity, never look back when the bills

And the fiends making ways to your peace

I constantly fill up my mind about who I will be when they all stop rejecting me

Will I hoop, will I write, will I fight off my hunger for power in the longevity

Ten years ago, I was willing to give it all up but thankfully the lord had me

When I couldn't get back to myself, you took my only jersey

So fuck you respectfully

I'm still on the come up, but why every time I start balling

You niggas don't wanna congratulate me or my team

Instead you put me inside of a ring

And fight off my dreams

I know that this life ain't as big as it seems

Not hearing the lecturing, turning your head and then closing my game up

Now I am ahead of them, taking it to the extremes

I go up against greats they like nigga you better win

As I get older, I feel reverence

As my heart getting colder, I live with no preference

Stay or you go with no questioning

Years' of perfecting my craft been my medicine

Know you get sick when I write like a veteran

Lately I've been the talk of the town

When I'm hosting these shows like I'm David Letterman

Forever an underdog

I can't even stand when I say I'm an underdog

I didn't get picked up, but now they all switched up

'Cause they finally realizing I been raw

Kept my head up on the journey, my life in a tourney

No matter what day, it was time to ball

In my teens, I was struggling to break some walls

Don't expect me to be on your beck and call

I put on for the city

I feel like I'm Jeezy

Raking the dough with the combs like I'm Diddy

Hate it or love it I've been on my 50

Can't be 'round too many, these niggas too iffy

Wanna kick my feet up or sit by a pool living lavishly

Or get out of this tragedy

Nobody believed in my strategy

Did what I did to survive now they asking me

How many times did you fail

How many hits did you sell just rapping on beats

How many ships went to sail

I look at myself, and told' em it's my prophecy

The road on the come up alone will set you between the strong and the weak

But it's your opportunity, never look back when the bills

And the fiends making ways to your peace

I'm on the come up

(How many times did you fail)

Yeah! Yeah!

I'm on the come up

(How many-How many times did you fail)

Yeah! Yeah!

I'm on the come up

(How many times did you fail)

Yeah! Yeah!

I'm on the come up

(How many-How many times did you fail)
