[Intro]
Turn it up some
I can't believe it, I can't believe it
Yeah, let's get it, look
[Verse 1]
Ayy, I never had applauses but we was ballin'
I was busy gettin' money when your girl was callin'
They didn't believe that this could happen
My mama called this (She did)
Smile up on my face 'cause I'm young and flossin' (Floss)
I couldn't love, I didn't make it
B, I wasn't workin' (Uh, uh)
Had temple up the beats while I lay these verses
All my homies can't believe I madе it without cursin'
My rappin' was the only way they steppеd foot in churches
My mind was swimmin' in doubt (Doubt)
That's why I struggle with pride (With pride)
Pops was workin' three jobs and was a barber just to provide
Now I'm showin' my mom the legends that sit in my phone
She losin' her mind (Oh my God)
My God is rewindin' because I keep gettin' better and better with time, yeah (Let's get it)
[Chorus]
Yeah, used to duck the landlord, but we on now
Seein' trees from the seeds that we sowed now
Lookin' back how far He brought us, we was so down (So down)
Yeah, we up now
Yeah, uh, yeah, we up now (Yeah, we up)
Yeah, uh, yes sir, yeah, we up now (Yeah, we up)
Yeah, uh, let's go, yeah, we up now (Yeah, we up)
[Verse 2]
Ayy, look, yeah, I never had applauses but we was ballin'
They didn't believe that this could happen
My mama called it
I was dealin' with depression despite the blessings
That's how you know true joy is never in possessions
Ayy, let's go, yeah, we up now
Do what I do for the love now
Still waitin' for some of my family members to really start puttin' the drugs down
They findin' who they wanna be (Be)
But I'm nervous soon they'll leave
Lost too many to the pill, I'm tryna give my family the key (Key)
It's love back home, the kids say I blew (I blew)
I walk in stores, the ones they say they hated say they always knew (I always knew)
Everything I do I do just to inspire my hood (My hood)
I gained some weight 'cause life been good (Yeah)
I did everything I said I could (I could)
[Chorus]
Yeah, used to duck the landlord but we on now
Seein' trees from the seeds that we sowed now
Lookin' back how far He brought us, we was so down (So down)
But we up now
Yeah, uh, yeah, we up now (Yeah, we up)
Yeah, uh, yes sir, yeah, we up now (Yeah, we up)
Yeah, uh, let's go, yeah, we up now (Yeah, we up)
[Outro]
Yeah, we up
Yeah, we up
Yeah, we up
