The Come Up Lyrics by J. TEK

Midnight Sunset

2018

[Verse 1: J. Tek]
Blacking' out with my thoughts, taking it back to roots
Cops don't even arrest, just pull the strap and shoot
Stephon Clark just had a phone and they shot 20 times
Can't imagine the way his family must've cried
Shit is killing me softly, need to settle the score
Problems weighing a ton, got me a little sore
Stretching 10 dollars for days, maybe a little more
But this 10 dollars is better than 5 it was before
Pops always told me that money is money
Whether dollars or pennies
Can't mix hunger and greed
Difference from wants and needs
Now tell me what you need, my plug got everything
Something to ease the pain, something to ease the pain
Can't mix hunger and greed
Difference from wants and needs
Now tell me what you need, my plug got everything
Something to ease the pain, something to ease the pain
We need a better way to ease our pain like
[Hook 1]
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
[Verse 2: J Tek]
Walk a mile inside my shoes, new balance to be exact
They don't love you till you leave and honestly that's a fact
I learned the Hardaway, guess I had to get crossed
If I don't trust you then I'm gone, guarantee that's your loss
Know a bad lil' shawty, don't be wearing no bras
Know a couple of homies, that don't be following laws
Down 3-1 still I never fold under pressure
Yeah, I been going thru a lot but gotta hold it together
I'm a man now
Got me some fans now
Get some bread flip it twice, yeah that's the plan now
You won't see my handout, I go after mine
You ain't bout it in real life, like you bout it online
Now stop all that lying and keep it real with yourself
Heard you dropped a couple albums that ain't doing too well
Heard you was poppin' for a while, but now you searching for help
At least you taught me, that them gimmicks won't sell
Mothafuckkaaaaa
[Chorus]
We on the come up
Grind hard till' the sun up
I might be down for a minute
Watch how I bounce back wit it
We on the come up
Grind hard till' the sun up
I might be down for a minute
Watch how I bounce back wit it
We on the come up
Grind hard till' the sun up
I might be down for a minute
Watch how I bounce back wit it
