The Come Up, II ft. Skypp Lyrics

I been out here winning

I been out here grinding

I been out here living

Y'all been out here lying

I been out here praying

On my knees just crying

Out here giving thanks up to God and now that why y'all see me shining

I been out here winning

I been out here grinding

I been out here living

Y'all been out here lying

I been out here praying

On my knees just crying

Out here giving thanks up to God and now that why y'all see me shining

I'm shinning now cause I put the work in

I was lost until I picked up a pen

People saying that "you got this shit Ken"

Do it for the ones that's locked in the pen

Do it for the ones who ain't got a voice

Do it cause I really ain't got a choice

Do it cause they said we ain't making noise

From the Midwest but don't claim Illinois

I'm from the city that's slept on

Where they quick to pull back if you step wrong

Where they don't give support unless the check long

But if you got a neck you get stepped on

I'm beyond tired of letting em breathe

I'm back applying some pressure again

They said the top would be lonely

And since I start grinding I been out here losing some friends

It's even family that gave up on me

Thankful for those in the village I got

If you said fuck me then keep that same energy

Stay over there when I get to the top

One degree hotter bitch my prices going up

I made "The Come Up" but now a bitch coming up

You do the least if you say that I do too much

School out the way so bitch ain't no more slowing up

I been out here winning

I been out here grinding

I been out here living

Y'all been out here lying

I been out here praying

On my knees just crying

Out here giving thanks up to God and now that why y'all see me shining

I been out here winning

I been out here grinding

I been out here living

Y'all been out here lying

I been out here praying

On my knees just crying

Out here giving thanks up to God and now that why y'all see me shining

That adversity I'm living through it

With the ghetto politics and the music

Had a couple hurdles but you never knew it

Cause I'm thugging it out even with a Judas

Story telling on another level it be non-fiction when I'm kicking shit 

Gucci said it's all in the wrist, I ain't never tell you I was innocent

You assume that, but I'm with the shit

Late nights working on a different shift

Ain't no graveyards in my vision unless I'm visiting the ones who ain't get to live

And you wonder why I'm focused, cause I'm blessed to see today

It's a disadvantage when your skin is brown cuddy you don't need a break

What you need is to lead the future generation and show them they holding the ticket

Pull my dawg to the side right before we ride and tell him don't go on that mission

All this shit we invested in the block, ain't no question we got the ambition

I'ma show you better than I tell you, lace the boots up and let's get it, let's get it  

I been out here winning

I been out here grinding

I been out here living

Y'all been out here lying

I been out here praying

On my knees just crying

Out here giving thanks up to God and now that why y'all see me shining

I been out here winning

I been out here grinding

I been out here living

Y'all been out here lying

I been out here praying

On my knees just crying

Out here giving thanks up to God and now that why y'all see me shining
