Lose the Ground

[Verse: yU] You got a million and one things to do But grateful for the new hue Spend my color wheel amongst the tried and true Not the in it for the minute got tired and through On to the next with no reflex, what's pride to you Its like you put something together and forgot the glue The difference between what to do and what not to do You got youngans looking up, yo they are watching you Because you dropped a jewel gave a spark that's like rocket fuel Never blame, upper aims, switch lanes and things You facing sunshine and rain the same That wasn't how we raised As a child we went through challenging thangs Instead of complaining we made it up out of that maze It was a crooked path, now we look back and laugh Hahahaha We come so far from cashing them food stamps Born with rhythm to the beat we apply the dance Jam for all of the ones who can't motivate the mass Elders said crowns ain't going to fit one with a swollen head A king no room for a throne that's how you know he cares About his kingdom, you seen him feeding his folks freedom by the plate Not worried of others taking his place [Chorus] Same old thang no matter who's around Here somewhere trying to lose the ground Moving on up that's how we get down Here somewhere trying lose the ground [Verse: yU] I'm here-- somewhere-- trying to lose-- the ground For you to be brown, educated, and proud nowsdays is rare They be open earred they mind was closed And all you hearing is what is you wearing They want a new benz with them rims on them twenty twins Herb, splurge, the money spend honey soft skin Came with the ride like the system inside Temperature rise get a glimpse of them thighs and switch gears years and sincere Yeah forget where from that'll keep you back Friends scatter chasing them I ain't doing that Up coming using that ladder to the stack Getting racks above maximum teller never ask That'll last tell the cash come slow You look around A bunch a bad checks you wrote, what to do now Got a couple in your huddle said they holding you down You need them seein' a piece sign disappear in the crowd [Chorus] Same old thang no matter who's around Here somewhere trying to lose the ground Moving on up that's how we get down Here somewhere trying lose the ground
