Up Lyrics by Purpose

If the City Had a Voice, Part 5: Down to the Wire

2015

[Hook]
We gonna ride through the city I’m from
I’m from, I’m from, I’m from
We party all night in the city I’m from
I’m from, I’m from
Yeah, we gon do it
Up, up, up, up, up
We gon do it
Up, up, up, up, up
We gon do it
Up, up, up, up, up
Yeah, we gon do it
Up, up, up, up, up (Mmm)

[Verse 1]
I said “we in here with some girls who’s only pass time’s vodka”
Ask my doctor, I’m a part time monster
They fool ‘em, we down to our last five dollars
You never seen no one go this high I promise
But let me show you, let me show you, let me show you
What we do and how we do it at a place not many go to (Yeah)
And we gotta put it (Down)
Yeah, we gotta put it (Down)
Hold it down, hold it (Down)
Accounts in their ears, but the house full of beer gone

[Bridge]
I think I’m coming down
I’ma do this until I’m gone (Hold me down)
Right there, keep it right there
I see way up right there (Hold me down)
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh (Hold me, hold me down)

[Hook]
We gonna ride through the city I’m from
I’m from, I’m from, I’m from
We party all night in the city I’m from
I’m from, I’m from
Yeah, we gon do it
Up, up, up, up, up (We gon do it)
Up, up, up, up, up (Oooh)
Up, up, up, up, up (Oooh)
Up, up, up, up, up (Mmm)

[Verse 2]
Up lift the standard, up lift the standard
To a level, launched into [?]
Do it right, do it single handed like (Huh)
Businessman like Richard Branson (Huh)
Tryna be young rich and handsome
I’m tryna take it to the moon man, (Hey)
The moon man’s comin’ in for landin’
It’s the anthem
Throw ‘em up, find a chick to dance with
And I’ma keep bringin’ fans
Until there’s not enough room in this bitch to stand in
And when everybody goes home
We’ll be the only ones still left standin’
The only ones still left standin’
The only ones still left

[Pre-Hook]
So here I sit with my seat back, exit row
Then the attendant goes
“It’s a long ride, make yourself at home
Yeah, it’s a long ride, make yourself at home” (We gon do it)

[Hook]
Right there, keep it right there
I see the way up right there
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Right there, keep it right there
I see the way up right there
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh (Hold me, hold me down)

We gonna ride through the city I’m from
I’m from, I’m from, I’m from
We party all night in the city I’m from
I’m from, I’m from
Yeah, we gon do it
Up, yeah, yeah
Up, yeah, yeah
Up, yeah, yeah
Up, up, up (Mmm)
