From the Ground Up

From the ground up
Written by Deitrick Haddon , Siege Monstracity, T church

Verse 1:
My old G said D don’t let them break ya
The gospel industry is business don’t let them fake ya
One day they love you the next day they will hate ya
Just remember they don’t make ya

Don’t forget those day you had to walk alone
Some started with you then they were gone
Promise me you’ll never stop singing your songs
Just believe in you and GOd alone

B section:
From the ground up
Coming from the ground up
Momma kept us in church
That’s how we came up
Streets knew my name
But it wasn’t bout the fame
Just a Detroit soldier
Coming from the ground up.

Chorus: Repeat
Coming from the ground up

Verse 2:
Keep your head up when people let you down
And Don’t let pride lift you off the ground
And Always keep the real ones around
Cause They gone have your back if all goes down
Listen to me now
We came from nothing but look at us now
It was GOd that made a ways somehow

B section:
From the ground up
Coming from the ground up
Momma kept us in church
That’s how we came up
Streets knew my name
But it wasn’t bout the fame
Just a Detroit soldier
Coming from the ground up.

Rap:
I grew up in Detroit city
My beginning was humble
Had to get it out the mud
Man my hood was a jungle
And i could have crumbled up from all the pressure i was raised in
Halleulujah his grace is so amazing
mom's prayed for me that was good looking
Plus she laced me with the game i call that mommas cooking
Detroit to L.A aint gotta brag now we started from the bottom but your boys got the bag now

Break:
Love lift me up pick me up from off the ground
When my friends are nowhere to be found
Love lift me up, love lift me up love lift me up

Vamp: Repeat
Coming from the ground up
Coming from the ground up
That's Where we're coming from
