Progress & Problems Lyrics by Nic D

SYCAMORE

2024

[Intro]
HoldUpAnti

[Chorus]
Ayy, one time it'll make you say we built this from the bottom
Two times for the paper made, my friend know that I got 'em
Three times, gotta make a way no matter what it costs 'em
Fourth time for the takeaway, all progress comes with problems

[Verse 1]
Look, ayy, this a game-changer
Feel the rhythm when I hit 'em with the haymaker
If you doin' what you love, we got the same nature
Uh, reapin' what I sow tenfold, but it came later, yeah
All that money made, but it didn't make ya
Nevеr needed trees just to make paper
Small town kid, wеnt and made major
Lemon lime in the water, got a little flavor
When I paint a picture, I'm Vincent Van Gogh
Tearin' up the beat, I feel like a vandal
One time, two times for the one-man show
All wins, no draws like we commando
This that no time on the clock, but still cash
This that set up the hook with a quick jab
This that slow down, movin' a little fast
This that all gas, givin' 'em whiplash

[Chorus]
Ayy, one time it'll make you say we built this from the bottom
Two times for the paper made, my friend know that I got 'em
Three times, gotta make a way no matter what it costs 'em
Fourth time for the takeaway, all progress comes with problems

[Verse 2]
Dirt off my shoulder, I'm strictly business
I keep it goin', can't abort the mission
Got a taste for dollars and it taste delicious
Gota a lot on my plate but I do the dishes
And writin' on the wall all gets washed away
When it starts to fall, holler bombs away
Ayy, hands up, every drop like a tribute to myself is a best of
Like I'm eatin' on a plane, dog I'm fed up
Mama said, "If it ain't nice don't say it," so I said nothin'
She don't need no alibi, she was here with me all night
We was grindin', we was workin'
We was hungry, that was certain
But it all turned out alright, now let me hear you say—

[Chorus]
Ayy, one time it'll make you say we built this from the bottom
Two times for the paper made, my friend know that I got 'em
Three times, gotta make a way no matter what it costs 'em
Fourth time for the takeaway, all progress comes with problems
