Up There When I'm Down Here

[Intro]
Believe it or not
They can doubt, I don’t care
I’m already up there (yeah)
Even when I’m down here
[Verse 1]
Clock on the wall just ticking
I don’t chase time, I’m different
Whole lotta noise, I’m distant
Turn that doubt to a witness
Look at me stuck in the basement
Mind in the sky like a spaceship
Body in the same old pavement
Heart on a whole new wavelength (yeah)
[Chorus]
Believe it or not, I’m already up there
Even if I’m down here, I’m up there
Say I’m at the bottom? I don’t even care
All you gotta do
All you gotta do is wait, I’ll be right there
Believe it or not, I’m already up there
Even if I’m down here, I’m up there
They don’t see it yet, but the vision’s clear
All you gotta do is wait
All you gotta do is wait (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Same hoodie, same old staircase
Future in my head like airplay
They just see the rent and the late pays
I just see plaques in a glass case
Talk small, I’m thinking galaxies
They laugh now, that’s a salary
They count me out, that’s a balcony
I’m above that doubt, that’s gravity
[Chorus]
Believe it or not, I’m already up there
Even if I’m down here, I’m up there
Say I’m at the bottom? I don’t even care
All you gotta do
All you gotta do is wait, I’ll be right there
Believe it or not, I’m already up there
Even if I’m down here, I’m up there
They don’t see it yet, but the vision’s clear
All you gotta do is wait
All you gotta do is wait (yeah)

rap, Minimalist trap beat with roomy kicks and tight snares, eerie bell loop and warm sub. Male vocals, laid‑back, talky flow in verses; hook gets chanty and bold with stacked doubles and ad‑libs. Sparse atmos pads bloom in the last chorus for a subtle lift in energy.
