Check, check, one, two Check, check, one, two Alright Let's go I look around and it's messed up Whole game lookin' like the brains of it left us Can't trust nothin' that a lame gonna say to just collect buzz Heard your mixtape is a great place to collect dust Personalities sellin' dreams, it ain't what it seems Decade in, I seen a lot of BS from behind the scenes DatPiff-killin', battle-rap-born villain Stacked hits, an underground OG by definition Tell me, who's still snappin' like it's '93? Grew up singin' "Cash Rules Everything Around Me" Respect due, throw in some tax if I helped birth you Put the talk to bed, you're out past your curfew Just 'cause—a father's gotta humble sons They get some buzz and forget about what humble was Trust, this a welcome to jungle, cuz Both lion, but only one of us a king, because What goes up, know it must come down If you don't know, then you ain't been round Love to the ground floor to the penthouse It's a hop, skip, jump from a creek to a crown Game will chew you and spit you out like it's bubble gum You can get popped the second you start to bubble up Get your hustle up, but let's huddle up before you do My two cents could make a million, it already made a few Top to the bottom from the shore to sea Everybody tryna live, act accordingly 'Cause a janitor could turn to the CEO Don't be too quick to judge, 'cause you just don't know I know karma keeps notes on the real cutthroats Ride a wave 'til it puts a couple holes in boats Act right; scummy, but that's life Some do anything for money, but many will pay the full price One week laughin' at tragic madness on shit's creek Jokin' at the loss of their paddle, deemin' a man weak Next could be floatin' on the same damn stretch As the same man's handin' you a paddle and a vest What goes up, know it must come down (Uh) If you don't know, then you ain't been round (Yeah) Love to the ground floor to the penthouse (Vizzy) It's a hop, skip, jump from a creek to a crown (Uh) They tried to warn 'em them vultures had eyes on 'em Been fallin' out the sky since 2009 on 'em (Uh) My wings golden, the kid move through the scene like I'm beholdin' But when in Rome, I seem Roman (Yeah) Knowin' how to play the background like on-set extras (Yup) It still remain as colorful as Boba Fett Vespas Thinkin' that you next up, you put the plan together But gotta watch it, switch and change up more than Kansas weather Be prepared for skepticism when you tell the vision (Always) They never see it 'til they watchin' on the television My family never pulled out they check to twit 'em (Uh) But look at me, naturally practicin' nepotism Soon as the record's hittin' (Uh), they head is bobbin' Bitches next to spinnin', tryna curse at me like it's an exorcism Still hear the talk, I know that my city small But I'm sittin' tall as I watch they bridges fall, 'cause What goes up, know it must come down (Uh) If you don't know, then you ain't been round Love to the ground floor to the penthouse It's a hop, skip, jump from a creek to a crown
