Upswing (Intro)

Let me tell you something you already know The world ain't all sunshines and rainbows It's a very mean and nasty place And I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees And keep you there permanently if you let it You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life But it ain't about how hard ya hit It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward How much you can take and keep moving forward That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth But ya gotta be willing to take the hits And not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that! I'm unbreakable, I been made a fool Got the days to prove, I'm unfadable Got the data used, got the day to use Better back it up cause its paid in full Thinkin' that you got me? Laugh it up Know where I'm goin', ain't no givin' up Knowin' that I'm blowin', never take enough No to the moment, gotta shake it up Bout to say f*ck it cause I'm in my bag Shootin' back and forth like it's lazer tag Now I got enough, wasn't raised to brag Take it back to fourth when life was bad So, you don't like my songs? And now you gotta tell me like I give a f*ck I been on my grind, I will prove you wrong Made a few mistakes cause I've had it rough For my safety, gotta bait, G Gotta pack heat, gotta take E Gotta f*ck it up like I'm Tay Keith Gotta drop it down for my safety Gotta back it up, gotta laugh it up Better stack it up till I've had enough Cause I'm overstuffed, used to be a nut Guess I'm better now, guess I overcome Yeah Guess I should own it Really wanna take in the mothafuckin' moment Really wanna rake in and never go grow to fold it Never fallin' back, I been steady footed This is permenant like a tattoo And these people act like its taboo Cause I rap good and I'm white too Just a skinny kid with a rhyme, fool Fill the fuckin' pencil with the venom and- Wait for the days where I see an M Till I'm on TMZ and, um, CNN Better get used, never see an end So I rap good, but I don't rap hood And I grab blood but don't tap wood If you knew you could, then you fucking should Cause if you never would, then you never cold For my safety, gotta bait, G Gotta pack heat, gotta take E Gotta f*ck it up like I'm Tay Keith Gotta drop it down for my safety Gotta back it up, gotta laugh it up Better stack it up till I've had enough Cause I'm overstuffed, used to be a nut Guess I'm better now, guess I overcome Gotta tap, tap on that boom bap Gotta take a nap? Let's assume that- You never wake up, never comin' back Never sittin' down cause I'm on my lap If it's gettin' out, never putting back I been buildin' up to be on the map I been growin' up, been to Hell and back And I'm workin' towards what I shoulda had I been pushin' pen like I shoulda been Spent late nights like I'm Letterman Better pay the price for setting an- Example, guess I shoulda vent And if you wonder why I never went back And I sat there while you dissed me It just means that your diss is weak One's off-beat, one's salty You're mad cause I had said your name So you sent a track to try and hide your pain And your man's track sucked so bad that I went ghost like I'm David Blaine I'm on my upswing, get uppercut, I'm back again, and I'm better but- I've changed a lot, for the better, what And if you lost before, better suck it up
