A Way Up

[Intro]
(I'm fuckin' with Double Teezyi)

[Chorus]
I put all my trust inside these diamonds and my soul
I don't know where I was at, bae, I'd be lyin' if I told you
Keep that fire up on me case I have to wipe a nigga nose
Once you get that money, you can't hide, it's gon' expose you
I done saw my best partners turn to hoes over bitches, bitches, bitches, bitches
I done saw my best partners turn to hoes over paper, paper, paper, paper
Never in a million years, but my biggest fear that my dog was gon' turn into a hater (A hater)
I been doin' this shit for years, I'm up double digits, M's, finally I done found a fuckin' way up (A way up)

[Verse]
Nine times out of ten, I'ma make a way out nothin'
It's a natural-only party, we ain't lettin' no fake butts in
I ain't never sold no dope, but treat this rap like hustlin'
And I still ain't found that one that I can put my trust in
They don't gotta worry about me comin' if they don't let lil' bro in
And the only reason lil' bro came, 'cause he got it tucked in
How you hurt me, but come out your mouth and say you love me?
You ain't nothin' for a thousand, bae, and I mean nothin'
Ain't nobody came to see you, oh, just David Ruffin
And I know I fed you lies, girl, but I was lustin'
It'll never be the same, I look at you disgusted
So I'd rather trust myself because I know I love me

[Chorus]
I put all my trust inside these diamonds and my soul (My soul)
I don't know where I was at, bae, I'd be lyin' if I told you
Keep that fire up on me case I have to wipe a nigga nose
Once you get that money, you can't hide, it's gon' expose you
I done saw my best partners turn to hoes over bitches, bitches, bitches, bitches
I done saw my best partners turn to hoes over paper, paper, paper, paper
Never in a million years, but my biggest fear that my dog was gon' turn into a hater (A hater)
I been doin' this shit for years, I'm up double digits, M's, finally I done found a fuckin' way up (A way up, a way up, a way up, a way up)
