"SOUL-FLY" lyrics

Yeah
I came up, I came up
I came up, I came up
I came up, I came up
I came up, I came up

I gotta keep my head high
Oh, I came up, I came up, I came up (Oh)
I gotta keep my head high
Oh, I came up, I came up, (I came up)
Yeah, I gotta keep my head high, I'm soul-fly
Heart colder than December, yeah, I feel right
If I'm standin' in the rain, yeah, I still plot
Nigga playin' with my mind, yeah, I fear not

Oh
Came from the bottom, mud, dirt
Yeah, and I came from those trenches (Yeah), slums
Came from the bottom
EBT, ain't live it up (Yeah)
I'm just tellin' you what it was (Fye)

Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Yeah we gettin' it out the mud (Get it out the mud)
We was runnin' wild, we had to get our mind right (Get our mind right)
Mama lightin' up the candles for the times we had no lights (Times we had no lights)
Warming up the bath water, livin' a hell of a life (A hell of a life)
I've been having nightmares, I'm chasin' dreams, baby (I'm chasin' dreams, baby)
My favorite auntie a dope head, seen dope comin' out a needle (Seen dope comin' out a needle)
Daddy plugged in, he was hidin' dope inside the speakers (Dope inside the speakers)
Built it up brick by brick, puttin' in work, don't think this shit come easy (Don't think this shit come easy)
I was just off the block, serving students and the teachers (Students and the teachers)
We some five-star young niggas, family depend on us we gonna feed 'em (Gonna feed 'em)
Gotta keep my head up (Head up)
Havin' deep talks with my dawg
We will never let up (Never let up)
Take this shit to another level, Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Shawty said she like a butterfly coming out the cocoon
I don't care if you got a nigga, baby, we breakin' all the rules
I'm smoking on exotic, I'm inhaling all the fumes
I can't hide it I got money, you can tell by the jewels

I gotta keep my head high
Oh, I came up, I came up, I came up (Oh)
I gotta keep my head high
Oh, I came up, I came up, (I came up)
Yeah, I gotta keep my head high, I'm soul-fly
Heart colder than December, yeah, I feel right
If I'm standin' in the rain, yeah, I still plot
Nigga playin' with my mind, yeah, I fear not (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Uh
Came from the bottom (Came), mud (Came), dirt
Yeah, and I came from those trenches (Came), slums (Came)
Came from the bottom
EBT, ain't live it up (Came, came)
I'm just tellin' you what it was

I gotta keep my head high
Oh, I came up, I came up, I came up (Yeah)
I gotta keep my head high
Oh, I came up, I came up, I came up (Yeah)
I gotta keep my head high
Oh, I came up, I came up, I came up (Yeah)
I gotta keep my head high
Oh, I came up, I came up (Yeah)
