[Intro]
There's a lot of towns
Cities too
But if you really know yourself
You realize this is true
This world is just a ghetto
Just a ghetto
Ghetto
Let's go
Time to get up
Up to some higher ground
Flip it around like this, do it
Check out the bangin' sound
I'm gonna bring you up
You'll never wanna come down
Yo, I've had enough
Of that -- sound
Groove on the one
[Verse 1]
I, come on now, I
(What I wanna do)
I'm gonna bring you
I said I'm gonna bring you up
I'm gonna bring you up
I'm gonna bring you up
I'm gonna bring you up
I'm gonna
Well you say truth
Is your desire
Well here's the fuel baby
For your fire
Just light it up
And dance my flame
The time has come sugar
In heaven's name
I know you feel it
But you won't say
And still I take you up and away
[Chorus]
Didn't I? (Didn't I bring you up)
Didn't I? (Didn't I bring you up)
Didn't I? (Didn't I bring you up)
Didn't I? (Didn't I bring you up)
[Verse 2]
Everybody's talkin' baby
They be walkin' round
Seems like they're caught in
The ups and downs
But it's all the same
And it's up to you
Just know the rules to the game
And keep on pushing through
[Chorus]
Didn't I? (Didn't I bring you up)
Didn't I?
Didn't I? (Didn't I bring you up)
Didn't I?
Didn't I? (Didn't I bring you up)
Didn't I?
Didn't I bring you (Didn't I bring you up) up?
[Verse 3]
We need to get real
For a little while
If there's a bad deal
No need to smile
Just keep your focus baby
See through illusions
If you really wanna know
There's only one conclusion
[Chorus]
Didn't I? (Didn't I bring you up)
Didn't I?
Didn't I? (Didn't I bring you up)
Didn't I?
Didn't I? (Didn't I bring you up)
Didn't I?
Didn't I? (Didn't I bring you up)
[Verse 4]
Look how we're living
No Hollywood
Neighbors doin' bad
How you expect they want you to do good
You're comparin'
Up with the Jones'
See there ain't no sheriff
So won't you leave well enough alone
[Chorus]
Didn't I? (Didn't I bring you up)
Didn't I?
Didn't I? (Didn't I bring you up)
Didn't I?
Didn't I? (Didn't I bring you up)
Didn't I?
Didn't I bring you (Didn't I bring you up) up?
[Verse 5]
Anybody ask you (Didn't I bring you up?)
What got to me
Just a vibe so true (Didn't I bring you up?)
It's just that Roman Anthony (higher)
Got to get (higher)
Wanna get (higher)
Got to get (higher)
Got to get (higher)
I wanna get (higher)
Got to get (higher)
I wanna get (higher)
Got to get (higher)
[Bridge]
I'm gonna bring you up
I'm gonna bring you up
I'm gonna bring you up
You up
You up
You up, yeah
Drop the beat on the one
[Outro]
Didn't I bring you up?
