Ups & Downs

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Emperor is back, it's the season, I'm straight greasin' em'
Beat all of my demons, no reason to even greetin' em'
Went and found a meaning, was fifteen and was leading 'em
Was cooling on the scene and peeped that I had to speed it up
Leave 'em in the dust, it's a must like a summer off
Now there's different colors on my neck like Lucky Charms
Enough of the scars, them thoughts I had to disregard
I went and discarded them all then I departed
The top shelf red-eye flight soon as I sparked it
I aim for the prize and the sky is my target
He been the sharpest marksman out, no talkin'
The calm inhale then exhale like a Spartan
I walk in the room and his energy is felt
Still he mellow to himself, I been inching for the belt like the champion
Still he top dog, never panicking
Was born to take chances, he scoring cause he be gambling

[Chorus]
I been feeling real good, gotta keep alive
Through the ups and downs, got a piece of mind
It could be a long road but I see the signs
Through the ups and downs, got a piece of mind
Through the ups and downs, got a piece of mind
Through the ups and downs, got a piece of mind
Through the ups and downs, got a piece of mind
Through the ups and downs, got a piece of mind

[Verse 2]
This shit is more than it seems
I'm pulling up to Moors with the team
And we only bring the Porches or the Beem'
I been touring since a teen
Unfortunate, they calling it a dream
But I saw it way before I'd even sleep
His force is unique
Euphoria is formed when I speak
And I'm for it so I pour it over beats
Either forfeit or compete
You see I went from sore to complete
Ain't a sorta, I saw it then leaped
They never even peeped when I went after it
Grabbed it and then I mastered it
Now it's Gucci tees and it's just from me being passionate
I open up top and inside like the cabinets
I'm never crashing shit
The globe, I been impacting it
I know they got hopes that'll go so saggin'
The plan been elaborate, now watch me establish it
Niggas tryna land on success by accident
I'm taking what's next, no respect, I ain't asking shit

[Chorus]
I been feeling real good, gotta keep alive
Through the ups and downs, got a piece of mind
It could be a long road but I see the signs
Through the ups and downs, got a piece of mind
Through the ups and downs, got a piece of mind
Through the ups and downs, got a piece of mind
Through the ups and downs, got a piece of mind
Through the ups and downs, got a piece of mind
