I Came Up ft. J Shiu Lyrics

I said it wasn't always mud yo

When I came up

But it wasn't always sunshine

So don't say none

I made it thru a lot

Yeah n still got mines

And yeah I still thank God

And Yeah still thank ma

Da world Knock me down one time

They done snuck up on me two times

I was trippin by the third time

But dawg where I came up

I said we ain't gon budge

I Never budge

I done made it out the mud

I done seen em sell drugs

I done seen em get drunk

I done seen em use guns

But I ain't never partake

In being the next Scarface

But I'll admit I

Been in a few car chase

Lock me in a cage

Like I'm Nicholas Cage

I was gone in 60 seconds

You'll be gone in any day

So I Had to change my ways

When my son was on the way

Know a life full of crime

Is a life full of pain

See these Sacrifices

You pay the prices

To Figure out whatever life is

Thru your crisis

Digest Hard decisions

But you know you're indecisive

Choose your path now

Is it wrong or is it righteous

You ever notice

That the poor is more religious

Why is it that these riches

Will make you more distant

So many problems in the hood

Mechanics couldn't fix it

Take it to the chop shop

Hoping to transition

But these bad people

Equal bad business

So You learn to read people

Know who be suspicious

Tell by their appearance

Or their ghetto ambitions

Pray for Hail Mary

Who gon run the interference

City limits

I ain't like the seat I'm given

So I'm scalping tickets

Ain't nobody want us winning

All I hear is crickets

Had to ball for real n travel

Like I moved my pivot

And Get up out the hood

And learn from a different existence

Going back to

Sharing the knowledge that within us

You see your sins

How can you not ask for forgiveness

How you acting like

God never been your witness

Is it you or am I tripping

We all fighting the same fight

Sourced from the same light

You know the saying fight or flight

We just tryna survive the night

But It's kinda hard when the

Odds is stacked against you

Count the blessing that he sent you

You was meant to

Not let anybody tempt you

Or Try descend you

Represent who gon check you

That's what friends do

Stand for something

And maybe they'll accept you

Even if they don't

They'll respect you

I said it wasn't always mud yo

When I came up

But it wasn't always sunshine

So don't say none

I made it thru a lot

Yeah n still got mines

And yeah I still thank God

And Yeah still thank ma

Da world Knock me down one time

They done snuck up on me two times

I was trippin by the third time

But dawg where I came up

I said we ain't gon budge
