Now We Up

Title: “Now We Up”

Ayy, ayy

Yeah, yeah 

Back then, sleeping on the floor at night

No money in my pocket, but my dreams were bright

Mama used to pray, say “Son, don’t lose your way”

Now I’m counting blessings every single day

Cold streets, hard times, pain in my eyes

Had to stay strong while the world passed by

People laughed at me, said I’d never win

Now they see me shining, wanna call me kin

I remember all the struggle, all the sleepless nights

Had to fight my battles, had to earn my stripes

Now the tables turning, now the stars align

Everything I prayed for finally mine

Now we up, now we up, now we up, yeah

From the ghetto to the top, no fear

All the pain made me stronger inside

Now I’m living all the dreams I had in mind

Used to walk miles with holes in my shoes

Now I’m flying overseas, got nothing to prove

Every scar on my skin tell a story of survival

Every loss made me stronger for the arrival

Still remember where I came from though

Same streets, same people, same old road

So I give back love when I come around

‘Cause I know how it feels when you’re feeling down

No shortcuts, no easy way

Had to grind every night and day

Stayed focused when they doubted me

Now the whole world can finally see

Now we up, now we up, now we up, yeah

From the ghetto to the top, no fear

All the pain made me stronger inside

Now I’m living all the dreams I had in mind

From the bottom, now we high

Never gave up, that’s why we fly

For every dreamer still in the struggle today

Keep believing, your time is on the way
