[Chorus: Eric Bellinger]
I've been lovin' me the right way
Pressin', pushin' me to elevate
Somewhere in the midst of darkness
I ascended to a higher place
[Post-Chorus: Eric Bellinger & Steven G]
I'm goin' up (Oh, yeah, yeah, oh)
I'm goin' up (Oh, it's goin' up, oh)
I'm goin' up
[Verse 1: Steven G & Eric Bellinger]
Play your position (Sheesh)
Said get on your grip (Yeah, yeah)
Speakin' to whoever's listenin' (Yeah)
Where there ain't no condition
Sit still, whole crew in tension
All in the same situation
Oh, yeah (Shit Crazy)
[Bridge: Eric Bellinger & Steven G]
Who's gon' be there
To look out for me? (No one, no one)
I'm gon' be there
No one but me, no (No one but me)
Who's gon' be there
To take care of me, yeah?
I'm gon' be there, yeah
'Cause I can count on me, yeah
[Chorus: Eric Bellinger & Steven G]
I've been lovin' me the right way
(Lovin' me the right way)
Pressin', pushin' me to elevate (Yeah)
Somewhere in the midst of darkness (Somewhere)
I ascended to a higher place (Somewhere in Space)
[Post-Chorus: Eric Bellinger & Steven G]
I'm goin' up (Oh, yeah, yeah, oh)
I'm goin' up (Oh, oh, oh)
I'm goin' up
[Verse 2: Steven G]
Yeah, tell me why we rushin'? (Yeah)
Baby, were we lovin' or we crushin'? (Then what)
Dropped some people in my life
Like it was nothing (Why?)
'Cause they had me fuckin' like David Ruffin (Oh, yeah, ha)
But it was nothin', took a step back
Put my trust in who I trust in (Ooh)
But if we all go down, it's for somethin'
Matter fact, nobody on this planet owe you nothin'
I said "Girl, my windows tinted, you can trust it"
(You can trust)
She like "Boy, don't be loud because we in public"
You gon' make these sounds (Yeah)
You gon' take these rounds (Yeah)
I'ma take you down
We gon' paint the town (Oh, yeah, yeah)
[Chorus: Eric Bellinger & Steven G]
I've been lovin' me the right way
(Lovin' me the right way)
Pressin', pushin' me to elevate (Ay)
Somewhere in the midst of darkness (Oh)
I ascended to a higher place
[Post-Chorus: Eric Bellinger & Steven G]
I'm goin' up (Oh, oh, yeah, oh)
I'm goin' up (Oh, oh)
I'm goin' up (Goin' up, goin' up, goin' up)
