"On The Come Up" lyrics
Lady London, Rapsody & Jamila C. Gray Lyrics
(from "On the Come Up" soundtrack)
Yeah, yeah
One-two, one-two
I'm on the come up, we on the come up
This is the come up, ayy
I'm on the come up, this is the come up
We on the come up, ayy
I'm on the come up, this is the come up
We on the come up, ayy
I'm on the come up, this is the come up
We on the come up, ayy
Run up the numbers, my come up is on
Crown on me fitted, I'm born for the throne
Reciting these poems, they calling my phone
Name got a ring to it, holding my own
Path I belong, ain't walk it alone
Word to the family, loyalty, love
Daddy, he guiding me from up above
My come up is raw, you don't know me to judge
If you knew what I'd been through, you'd shut the hell up
Shining, a diamond they found in the rough
I'm killing 'em, uh
Got you all in your feelings, uh-huh (All in your feelings)
It's written, I'm one of them ones
Compare me to none
I'm the heir to the throne like LeBron
That's the path that I'm on
I'm on the come up, we on the come up
This is the come up, ayy (Yeah)
I'm on the come up, this is the come up
We on the come up, ayy
I'm on the come up, this is the come up
We on the come up, ayy
I'm on the come up, this is the come up
We on the come up, ayy (Yeah)
Ayy, dreams don't fade away
Yeah, the dreams don't fade, I believe in a God
You'll see what I mean when the dream is alive
I mean what I write, rhyme when I talk
Beam in the light and I shine in the dark
I'm the rose that done grown from everything that I learned
And everything I own is everything that I earned
Yeah, this whole game is a lot
I give the whole thing to the Lord
If fame gotta come with a name that I gotta be ashamed of
I'd rather be a lame than a fraud
I could be me, picturing a sold out stage or a TV
I could see it all out laid
I want y'all to be proud of this young girl
No matter how it go, I'm never gon' just fall
I'm on the come up, this is the come up (Yeah)
We on the come up, ayy
I'm on the come up, this is the come up
We on the come up, ayy
I'm on the come up, this is the come up
We on the come up, ayy
My crown on, the Queen is back
The family good, we can toast to that
My soul attached, I ain't lost it yet
They got foul on me like a double tech
But I rose through it like Teyana Taylor
Faced dark days like Darth Vader
Day ones with me, ain't no one traded
My momma proud to see her baby make it
It came with some joy and some hard days
But we ain't let none of it lead us astray
Thought what I wanted was money and fame
Realize now all I want is a lane
For my legacy, legacy, legacy, legacy
Blood, sweat, and tears, I followed the recipe
Success look good on me, don't it?
I'm thriving, this more than a moment
I'm on the come up, we on the come up
This is the come up, ayy
I'm on the come up, this is the come up
We on the come up, ayy
I'm on the come up, this is the come up
We on the come up, ayy
I'm on the come up, this is the come up
We on the come up, ayy
One-two, one-two
I'm on the come up, we on the come up
This is the come up, ayy
I'm on the come up, this is the come up
We on the come up, ayy
I'm on the come up, this is the come up
We on the come up, ayy
I'm on the come up, this is the come up
We on the come up, ayy
Run up the numbers, my come up is on
