[Hook: Breana Marin]
I've got a good foundation 'cause I came up
Came up from the concrete
Not supposed to win by nature 'cause I came up
Came up from the concrete
There ain't nothin' holding me back
You're never gonna push me off track
Yes, I've got a good foundation 'cause I came up
Came up from the concrete
[Verse 1: Dugglas Plum$]
Rose from the concrete
Like if you found a red rose beneath your feet
Or whatever color I chose that week
To imagine a miracle like waking up as I found
What I believe to be the oracle
My pinnacle prime
The flawless design of what I imagined in my ill mind
Yet define what I did was create a foundation
With each word and rhyme as having a record in my life and times
Wasn't my initial intentions at the time
Voila! Ta-da! Abracadabra!
I snapped my fingers and I just arrived
Like Jiminy Cricket to help me decide
If this is how part of my life is defined as divine
I wasn't given a choice to be alive
In the meantime, best believe I'ma get get mine
With a Coke and a smile
Like it so my life goes viral
Pro Plums keeps the secrets on file or in the liquid vial
My love was blind to hip-hop's dark side
All I need is one life, one love, one mic
A dark night to see it through to the sunlight, sunshine
[Hook: Breana Marin]
I've got a good foundation 'cause I came up, came up from the concrete
Not supposed to win by nature 'cause I came up, came up from the concrete
There ain't nothin' holding me back
You're never gonna push me off track
Yes, I've got a good foundation 'cause I came up, came up from the concrete
[Verse 2: Madd Hatter]
Every dog has its day and today it's the underdog
Came out the summer fog, hand in fist
Can you handle this?
A man of risk, gargantuous
Now let me handle biz
Started off with a memoir, the memoir turned to poetry
The poetry would flow so deep that people started noticing
And soon it turned to rap flow, a natural with slant rhymes
Instilled with the skillness, no need for fuckin' hand signs
I get on stage, with names they fuckin' chant mine
All the while wondering if Trump has any tan lines
Should I change the topic? Should I get back on it?
Pack a bag of chronic, grab some gin and tonic
This hip-hop is therapy, it's clarity, it carries me
At varying degrees of just being there for me
When I was at my lowest, now I'm captain of the top fleet
All because I came up, I came up from the concrete
[Hook: Breana Marin]
I've got a good foundation 'cause I came up
Came up from the concrete
Not supposed to win by nature 'cause I came up
Came up from the concrete
There ain't nothin' holding me back
You're never gonna push me off track
Yes, I've got a good foundation 'cause I came up
Came up from the concrete
[Verse 3: Dugglas Plum$]
The foundation is solid, my feet stay ten toes down
I'm not the only one with a crown at the round table
Celebrating with shots of Crown to the simple fact
We've been holding it down for almost two decades now
You can't stop us now
No holding back, stepping on views if we have to like crack
Creating mixtapes like water with concrete shake mix
We've got a wheelbarrow for your fix
Nicks and dimes get lit
As the guy in the back says, "Yo, rewind that shit!"
Instant hits, we solid like go brick on bricks
We're built to win these chips
Silencing the critics, I'm spilling scripts
Is it past time to recognize it's part of the grind?
In hindsight, turning back the hands of time to design
A dream to last and really crack in the music business
Or, at least, etch our initials in the cement
Pave our path on the pavement
We'll stay on track 'cause we are the greatest
I came up from the concrete, move it or lose it
'Cause you're in the way of the movement
I.M.C. Classic Entertainment
Not just here for your amusement
[Hook: Breana Marin]
I've got a good foundation 'cause I came up
Came up from the concrete
Not supposed to win by nature 'cause I came up
Came up from the concrete
There ain't nothin' holding me back
You're never gonna push me off track
Yes, I've got a good foundation 'cause I came up
Came up from the concrete
