[Verse 1]
Mama said, "Boy, keep movin'"
So I did with a hole in my shoe
Cold fridge, rent late, still groovin'
Found a dollar and I made it two
Woke up broke, still I got up
Scraped my name out the mud again
Same block, same drain, same bus stop
But I saw gold where it all looked dead
[Pre-Chorus]
I been bent, I ain't breakin'
I been down, but I don't stay there
Hands tired, still I be takin'
Every loss and I turn it into bread
[Chorus]
Come up, come up
I got scars, but I got up
Come up, come up
I was lost, now I level up
Come up, come up
Talk slick, I don't give up
I been had enough
Now I'm eatin' from the rough
[Verse 2]
Backseat deals with a fake smile
Couple nights with my phone on ten
Crazy ass bitches, they stay wild
Try to drag me back in the pen
But I keep my heart in a locked box
Keep my work where the wolves can't see
If she bring smoke, let the block talk
I don't chase what ain't built for me
[Pre-Chorus]
I been bent, I ain't breakin'
I been down, but I don't stay there
Hands tired, still I be takin'
Every loss and I turn it into bread
[Chorus]
Come up, come up
I got scars, but I got up
Come up, come up
I was lost, now I level up
Come up, come up
Talk slick, I don't give up
I been had enough
Now I'm eatin' from the rough
[Bridge]
I seen love turn to leavin'
I seen friends wear a grin like a knife
Now I trust what my hands been buildin'
Not the shine, not the games, not the hype
[Final Chorus]
Come up, come up
I got scars, but I got up
Come up, come up
I was lost, now I level up
Come up, come up
Talk slick, I don't give up
I been had enough
Now I'm eatin' from the rough
