[Verse 1]
You tried to hurt me
Gave it everything you got
You left me, you deserted me
Or so you thought
You tried to break me
Thought I'd still be broken now
But I've been blooming lately
While you sit back and wonder how
[Hook]
I been on the up and up
I think your friends told you what's up
That I'm steady flying
I'm steady flying
I been on the up and up
I think your friends told you what's up
Bitch, I'm fuckin' flying
I'm steady flying
[Bridge]
Just 'cause the moon's behind the clouds
Don't mean its not glowing
Just 'cause the seed is underground
Don't mean its not growing
[Verse 2]
You tried to fight me
Told me I would never grow
And now I think you might be
Feeling different now you know
[Hook]
I been on the up and up
I think your friends told you what's up
That I'm steady flying
I'm steady flying
I been on the up and up
I think your friends told you what's up
Bitch, I'm fuckin' flying
I'm steady flying
[Bridge]
Just 'cause the moon's behind the clouds
Don't mean its not glowing
Just 'cause the seed is underground
Don't mean its not growing
Just 'cause the moon's behind the clouds
Don't mean its not glowing
Just 'cause the seed is underground
Don't mean its not growing

I started this song with just the keyboard idea and wrote to it but I didn’t like how my vocals sounded over the keys. I’ve always been obsessed with vocoder...
A lot of my songs are inspired by more than one experience, the meaning kind of changes over the course of writing it. The first line of Up & Up came after a talking to a person in my life who stays talking shit about the world and the people in it. The hatefulness of their words really hurts, e...
Once I’m inspired and get on a flow, I can write a whole song pretty quick. Not always, but thats what happened with Up & Up. After laying down the chords it was less than an hour before the song was written. Literally a month later I was finishing the production and recording final vocals at No...
