[Intro: AKTHESAVIOR]
Ayy, ayy, ayy, yeah, look
[Verse 1: AKTHESAVIOR]
I was wealthy in my past life
Hustlers University, my major get the cash right
Her head game dummy, yeah, the crash type
I just hit and run, don't want the bad vibes
Reefer got me high, I think I passed Christ
Paralysis, they can't fight, stuck in they place
New York niggas try to sell me a eighth
I know this say Runtz, but ain't the same taste, cousin
Since we arrived, like a hive, always stay buzzin'
Don't gotta portray nothing
I give a prayer to the uni that my verses stay boomin'
Too much toast, spliff ruined, gotta throw that shit out
Fix my lane and reroute, start a businеss, fuck clout
I'm the illest in the clinic 'causе the shit just drip out me
No monogamist, I gotta keep me more than one spouse
I'm a optimist 'cause I got big money in the pouch
I eliminate the doubts, that type of shit get me aroused
See my growth and say hi, tell 'em livin' in the now, uh
[Chorus: Chuck Strangers]
We goin' through the ups and downs, the cons and pros (Facts)
These niggas try and squeeze money out the same flows (Uh-huh)
My niggas steady comin' new
The way they move is how I'm movin' too, cousin
I'm right behind you (I'm right behind you)
It's whatever you decide to
My niggas steady comin' new
And the way they move, that's how I'm movin' too (Lord, Lord)
[Post-Chorus: Chuck Strangers]
Nigga, I'm right behind you (It's whatever you decide to)
I went from nickels to dimes, from dollars to stacks
I went from nickels to dimes, from dollars to stacks
I went from nickels to dimes, from dollars to stacks
I went from nickels to dimes, from dollars to stacks
I went from—
[Verse 2: Chuck Strangers]
You goin' hard, we goin' harder than that
But what's a TEC to a MAC, all-black?
My white boys stand in solidarity
The only thing that's scarin' me is God's wrath
That's why I'm out the way countin' cash
Can't scope me on your Google Maps
Took some years to do the math but niggas got it like that
Word to Florence, I don't lie in my raps (Facts)
On my back stuck, MAC-1 hit like a Mack truck, masked up
Shit a hoax, but I ain't takin' no chances
These labels could talk nice but we don't need they advances
It's 'cause God planned this
Got both feet planted, I would never leave you stranded
My nigga, I'm right behind you
Made this for you to grind to
The sun don't always shine on the block
But that ain't no good reason to stop
'Cause the gang know
So we get fly-ass raincoats
Money new but these the same bros
[Chorus: Chuck Strangers]
We goin' through the ups and downs, the cons and pros (Facts)
These niggas try and squeeze money out the same flows (Uh-huh)
My niggas steady comin' new
The way they move is how I'm movin' too, cousin
I'm right behind you (I'm right behind you)
It's whatever you decide to
My niggas steady comin' new
And the way they move, that's how I'm movin' too (Lord, Lord)
[Post-Chorus: Chuck Strangers]
Nigga, I'm right behind you (It's whatever you decide to)
I went from nickels to dimes, from dollars to stacks
I went from nickels to dimes, from dollars to stacks
I went from nickels to dimes, from dollars to stacks
I went from nickels to dimes, from dollars to stacks
I went from—
[Verse 3: Erick the Architect]
I'm ashamed of laziness (Uh)
Portrayed the way the game will change like an alias
They know I'm strange but I won't entertain with hates (Hates)
Always form emotion, man, I always kept the pace (Pace)
Sippin' top shelf liquor with you 'cause we like the taste, ooh (Taste)
Rehabilitation, no prescriptions, I got faith, ayy
Never been a studious student all about his studies (Studies)
But in conversation hopin' we becomin' buddies (Buddies), but
Are your reasons ours? (Nah) All is for the power (Power)
Agreements turnin' sour (Sour)
All of us got interest, but do we clock them hours? (Hours)
My expectation low, so everybody go and claim your soul
My aim is towed, leave this vehicle so you can see the truth
Money piles, on this frequent flyer, take my chica out (Nyoom)
When you speak about some realer shit and you don't need the clout
It's glowin' season, I'm talkin' bandits who you overseeing
I'm talkin' carpe diem, walkin' in they know the visa, type shit
[Chorus: Chuck Strangers]
We goin' through the ups and downs, the cons and pros (Facts)
These niggas try and squeeze money out the same flows (Uh-huh)
My niggas steady comin' new
The way they move is how I'm movin' too, cousin
I'm right behind you (I'm right behind you)
It's whatever you decide to
My niggas steady comin' new
And the way they move, that's how I'm movin' too (Lord, Lord)
[Post-Chorus: Chuck Strangers]
Nigga, I'm right behind you (It's whatever you decide to)
I went from nickels to dimes, from dollars to stacks
I went from nickels to dimes, from dollars to stacks
I went from nickels to dimes, from dollars to stacks
I went from nickels to dimes, from dollars to stacks
I went from nickels to dimes, from dollars to stacks
I went from nickels to dimes, from dollars to stacks
I went from—
[Outro: Issa Gold]
You know the mothafuckin' vibes, nigga, you know who it is, nigga
You need no mothafuckin' introduction or nothin', nigga
You know what I'm talkin' about, man
You almost home, nigga
You know what I'm sayin', nigga?
We almost there, you know what I mean?
Gotta move forward, nigga
Make sure you got your mothafuckin' feet in the ground, nigga
And you ain't playin' games with these niggas, man
'Cause these niggas is for sure tryna play games with a nigga, mane
And we ain't mothafuckin' playin' around on these sides, nigga
Stay fly for shit, nigga
Livin' on the west coast, nigga
Cruisin' round, Bimmer talk, you know how we do, mane
You know it ain't mothafuckin' games, niggas
Shout out my nigga AK, man, you know how my niggas comin'
That's my brother for fifteen years, nigga, you heard?

Ups & Downs was produced by KingJet & Chuck Strangers.
AKTHESAVIOR released Ups & Downs on Thu Nov 26 2020.
This song was created on a random day in Brooklyn, I pulled up to check Chuck at Trev’s crib and we just caught a crazy vibe over some wine and herbs. At first it was just me and Chuck on it, but I wanted the song to be one of those longer tracks that you could roll a spliff and just zone out to. As...
