Ups & Downs

Ay Yeah, we all pain-driven New prescription, had to change lenses Yeah we might've been raised different But we still focused on the same vision Still the same me changed image Can't portray all the lame gimmicks Can't astray all the lame shit that you did thinking you would see a pay difference I ain't with it I'm the rose that grew from the concrete Made it through the storm, kept my cool like a calm breeze Always prayed for the view with some palm trees But look outside and see a city full of lost dreams Life like a ocean I'm stuck in I'm just tryna find my way out of the deep But the money is something like Moses cause you know the profit be parting the sea Pardon me please, it's hard to believe I've been working so long at the heart of this dream I had some people do me just like Julius Caesar, they no longer part of the team They only hate cause they're in with TE And they too busy focused on envy and greed Your life a family vacation to Destin, I'm stuck tryna see what I'm destined to be Me versus me is like Creed versus Rocky Beat after beat is like body for body Throw me a track on the table I'll cook the shit up in your face like you eating hibachi Sleeping on me, you must think that I'm Cosby Selling your soul for Louis and Versace Say that you post with a drake like you drizzy But really came up like Jimmy from Degrassi The shit get better, it don't really matter If you're feeling stuck right now You been thru the weather keep stackin' your cheddar Just grind through the ups and downs Grind through the ups and downs Grind through the ups and downs Even in a dark place sittin' on a grey cloud Bitch I'm up right now Grind through the ups and downs Grind through the ups and downs Grind through the ups and downs Grind through the ups and downs Grind through the ups and downs Grind through the ups and downs Even in a dark place sittin' on a grey cloud Bitch I'm up right now Still trying to heal and the pain is the proof Been in the field in hydrating my roots Put me back on my ass so it ain't shit to lose I'm in traffic, the trap or I'm caged in the booth Stackin' up cash to vacate on the moon Overlapping they ass then I wave chuck the deuce As a matter of fact let me skate and get loose While attacking this track with a chain and a noose Bitch I'm back in the lab I escape with the flu Make a break they refute cause the strain was too new Start to aim take a view they afraid and confused Cause I'm stuck in this bitch like they painted a mural A nigga can't switch gears, now I got 'em in awe Spitting out flames In Neutral Idle wide big boy, call me by my nickname Baby that's A.K.A. Rooster You see it is never forgettable When people mistake all your kindness for weakness, I tell 'em to elevate principle You know that this level is difficult I help them a little for heaven's sake Where the hell am I sending them The Astro, the spiritual, meta, the physical Change your credentials to better position Now all y'all can prepare to witness 'em The fact the flow was written and God given I said 'case you didn't know A failure to stop is two to the chest His head get a different hole I said cause you didn't know Said failure to stop was two to the chest His head get a different hole That's just how I'm livin hoe The shit get better, it don't really matter If you're feeling stuck right now You been thru the weather keep stackin' your cheddar Just grind through the ups and downs Grind through the ups and downs Grind through the ups and downs Even in a dark place sittin' on a grey cloud Bitch I'm up right now Grind through the ups and downs Grind through the ups and downs Grind through the ups and downs Grind through the ups and downs Grind through the ups and downs Grind through the ups and downs Even in a dark place sittin' on a grey cloud Bitch I'm up right now
