From The Ground (feat.Kelela)

歌詞

8 balls wit a safety pin I deserve the finer things Told myself back then When I used to ride a Schwinn Now I'm on a tour bus Going places I ain't never been Wrote my rhymes down on a paper bag That was way back Having dreams of a Cadillac Dog, I had to bounce back Locked a nigga up Why they do me like that? Now I'm on the Jack in the county Asking mommy for some money Swear to God she'd do anything for me Now we out the hood and the nightmare is us going back So I won't go to sleep 'til I finish that Cousin of death anyway Now I see better day And I ain't tryna miss a minute, second hour Living on borrowed time Can't think about tomorrow 'cause it's about today And you know you wanna take my place Let's get it You turn around, and now I'm winning I built it up, from the ground You stay asleep, I'm gonna get it I built it up, from the ground Now tell me, would you sacrifice your dreams? What it takes if you want anything Got me missing sleep 'cause my mind on the beat So while I'm counting bars y'all be counting sheep No cheat sheet, get it out the mud Get it how you live, why I'm out here in the field My nigga wake up, wipe the cold out your eyes It's a cold, cold world but even hotter when you die So no try to do, what about you? Work off, well met, do the same thing too A lot locked up wishing they was like you Got a letter from my nigga saying he be out in June Been down for a minute and every since sentence Things ain't been the same so I'm missing my nigga Staring at the ceiling thinking how far I came Was trapped in the storm but I made it out the rain You turn around, and now I'm winning I built it up, from the ground You stay asleep, I'm gonna get it I built it up, from the ground
