Up, Down Lyrics

Humans fear what they don't understand

Humans fear life itself

With all of its ups and downs, and twists and turns

We are left with this feeling of uncertainty

(Up, up, down, down)

(Up, up, up, down)

Down, down, up, down)

I just woke up in New York with a clear mind

No suicide, but I'll give you 13 reasons why

Doors suicide, yeah this lambo like a butterfly

They try to clip my wings, but either way I'm gonna fly

I told my brodie to the left of me, we'll be alright

My brodie to the right of me told me this shit for life

This internal rivalry conflicting me inside

Saying I'm a mockery, but I know that you lying

Everybody trying to take a pic and catch me by surprise

I don't want a picture with you, please just let me eat my rice

If I call you, better pick up because I've been on my grind

They say I got tunnel vision, cause there's one goal on my mind

But if I'm gonna do this right, then I cannot waste no time

I was always taught to handle business, always handled mine

I remember back in 5th grade, I was only nine

When I realized what I wanted in life

Dropped a mixtape

(Ah)

So accomplished in life

Two months passed, and then another goes by

Time flies, I guess it's all part of life

(I guess it's all part of life)

It goes

(Up, up, up, down)

It goes

(Up, up, up, down)

Life goes

(Up, up, up, down)

Down, up, down

It goes

(Up, up, up, down)

It goes

(Up, up, up, down)

Life goes

(Up, up, up, down)

Down, up, down

Feels like I'm stuck inside a game

Plus I haven't slept in days

Try to tell me slow my pace

I think that I'll be okay

What's a match to a flame

What's a bat without wings

What's a man to a prince

What's a prince to a king

What's a king to a god, if he can't find a way

Need more time on the clock

Need more time in the day

So there's more time to waste

So there's more time to play

So I can pull up to the 4th quarter of the game

And still watch it

Haters clowned me a couple years ago

They still watching

Still plotting on how they can fill their little pockets

Look me in the eyes and while I talk, they still nodding

If you can't keep up, just say that

You bill watching

You pocket watching

You're not focused on a hotter topic

Every day another body's dropping

I just wanna fix the problem

But there's no way I can solve it alone

Wake up in the morning and my feelings are gone

I wake up and it's always the same thing

Up, down, in this room

I keep pacing

Time's going by

I try to deny the feelings I feel inside

So I hide

I wake up and make up the same stuff

Play my cards right

Can't leave them face up

Yeah it's a hard life

But I'll find my way up

Can't be working two weeks for a fucking pay stub

And then another one just to get me laced up

Either way I'm balling in the paint, just took a layup

My neighbors say the music too loud, I turn the bass up

And I don't really give a fuck about what they gon' say

'Cause they not working on their craft like me

24-7 just do the math like me

My shit is so iconic

I don't tag my beats

Can you tell I made this with no VSTs

But even in the comfort of my own home

I can't help but feel helpless and so alone

Yeah this weed is tempting, I can't cope alone

This is self-reflection cause I'm prone to growth

And so I'ma grow

And we gon' go

(Up, up, up, down)

(Down, down, up, down)

It goes

(Down, down, down, down)

(Down, down, down, down)

(Down, down, down, down)
