The Come Up

[Verse 1] Yeah, I was sitting in a classroom with four walls In a small school with them six foot two stalls Security guards and principals like every week It only got crazier when I started feeling the heat And my conscience is saying: “Boy, get your life straight.” I’m out here, confessing to my sins on this tape Before I last started chasing dreams, I was running deep Family wasn’t just a word, (still ain’t), know the streets My brothers could have been my brothers in firearms My sisters could have been the girls I was writing on And maybe them teachers at Richneck wouldn’t be proud With them deals going down, they ain't around I came a long way, could have went South but I remain North Faced, focused more on the Rx and less on the fame [Verse 2] Switching up the game, like your girls’ last name I could be picture perfect, never find a frame My ego isn’t like Ye, but my mind is pretty close Only rapper that’s doing it big with what he chose Coming up, on the come up, that’s using Logic Can’t even feel me if you did this just for profit Jermaine Cole spitting truth, you spitting Ivan Ooze I’m spitting that national, you remain in the News And I’m not talking Flossy, that’s for anybody to aspire I write these lyrics based off the world that I desire I don’t expect you to agree, your opinion never matter While my haters fight tears, I’m busy with the laughter [Verse 3] Ever got caught up in the moment and then after You see the girl of your dreams, and then you pass her? Didn’t think it would happen but I was infatuated Intoxicated, faded, feeling deflated, couldn’t relay this But she’s doing better now and so am I She asked me if I miss her, I did, now I’m fine Told her I was coming up on the come up, that’s using Logic And if she heard her name in my music, that I dropped it I stuck to every word I spit in the verses I wrote More time spent in the booth than jumping down your throat I mean, arguments happen, and we pick our fights Except you’ll be missing me, I’ll be boarding flights I should have been mirandized, reading out my rights I decimated tracks, aiming to reach newer heights [Outro] I’ll admit, this took some thought and time But at least, you’re gonna feel me when I rhyme I’ll admit, this took some thought and time But at least, you’re gonna feel me when I rhyme
