Respect The Come Up

[Intro]
If we wan the world to continue to build
We have to respect the come up
Look at how far you've come
Respect the journey, man
Count the blessings, accept the changes
Appreciate the highs and the lows
For the good and the bad all make us who we are today
There is no ups without downs
To struggle without you respect your own journey
Respect when you see someone who comes from nothin'
And turns it into somethin'
Now that's everythin'

[Chorus]
Get the fuck up
Respect the come up
Cheques haffi run up
Get the fuck up
Respect the come up
Cheques haffi run up
Huh
Get the fuck up
Respect the come up
Cheques haffi run up

[Verse 1]
Never cheat the grind
You know I need to fly, stay away from evil eye
I'ma keep my G's alive
If I said it is for life
If I want it, what's the price?
Spendin' what I like
Got it off of choppin' white
On my block, it wasn't nice
Got me robbin' to survive
Money problems on my mind
Pull up, "Like what's the vibe?"
Keep my name off your mind
I ain't into gossip lies
There ain't no shortcuts to success
Surrounded by buj at seventeen when I seen my first bunk-bed
Never know what's gonna come next
Police knockin' at my door got my mum stressed
Gotta stay ready, make the re-up stay heavy
Never weigh pennies, gotta save pounds
I don't rap, I make sounds
I been 'bout it since the playground
Dropped a tune, never knew that it'd take me out
Fuck, they're my mates now
Came up, I coulda stayed down
Look at how my life played out
Look at how we turned out
Still niggas wanna see me turn 'round
Get your shit peppered up and burned down
Still own my old Nikes trackies and my Berghaus
I went to jail and didn't learn now
Except all that karma that I served out
I went from servin' cats to servery hats, gettin' burnt down
It's really mad, fuck it, time on my hands
I used my time wisely and put mine into plans
I'm tryna buy me some land, so free my guys out the can

[Chorus]
Get the fuck up
Respect the come up
Cheques haffi run up
Get the fuck up
Respect the come up
Cheques haffi run up
Huh
Get the fuck up
Respect the come up
Cheques haffi run up

[Bridge]
Ayo, deef
And when they told me Louis ain't racist, they got Virgil
I said I need the ones with green and the purple
And, shit, I need the boots and the trainers to match
And knowin' me, I'll go insane in the trap
And I only smoke flav's out the pack
My niggas told me, "You the greatest to rap"
I ain't complainin' with that
But now I need a crib where the neighbours ain't ashamed to adapt
That whip came, by wrist ach and put it straight on the tap

[Verse 2]
I used to stay with a cat
All I need is my blade and my mask
Them times savin' for straps
Winner's wages are daft
Nitties in traps, and fuck the snakes and the rats
They think I'm rich like, "Six figs what you made off of trap"
I get rich, I rob nigs and turn flake into crack
If I rap, it's straight statements and facts
It was alleyways blatant for cash
Pavements and paths
You get blades for your stash 'til my papers are mad
If I did it, I ain't takin' it back
Fuck his ten K on my back
Got me thinkin', "Will I ever change?"
Fuck drip, I just let it rain
I ain't playin' any games
Heavyweight, that's my second name
I remember fucked up on broke nights, better days
Can't... stress the fame, just bless the game
Respect the change
Let me kick back and test the strain
Certain things can't left my brain
I might fly Thailand, go test my aim
No weed for couple weeks to refresh my brain
I get pissed off, can't bun weed when I'm on the plane
My head's gone 'cause I was gone for days
Cah I miss them times with my bros
All them highs, all them lows
Tryna find me a road
But I can't give my life to a phone
I bless the game with the finest of flows
Bet I'll find me the throne
All them days I spent flyin' them O's
Heh, I didn't know that my timin' was gold
I stay golden for life, miss my bro
Why, why you gotta die? You the GOAT
Creatin' diamonds, I got ice in my throat
This that ocean drip, I might just buy me a boat
So I can kick back, write rhymes on my own

[Chorus]
Get the fuck up
Respect the come up
Cheques haffi run up
Get the fuck up
Respect the come up
Cheques haffi run up
Huh
Get the fuck up
Respect the come up
Cheques haffi run up
Get the fuck up
Respect the come up
Cheques haffi run up
Get the fuck up
Respect the come up
Cheques haffi run up
Huh
Get the fuck up
Respect the come up
Cheques haffi run up
