creative mind frame (1-up) - rags 2 bags lyrics

[intro]
ahhh this might come off as a humble brag song, but that’s not what it’s meant to be though
the older i get, the more i realize how beneficial it’s been to use my music and self+reflect
help me process through tough past events in my life in a healthy way
this song’s about how being rich isn’t about money
but being surrounded by people who love you and care about
helping you become the best version of yourself
some of that stuff was my optimism and positivity, but without people around me
helping me believe i’m worthy of what’s possible
i wouldn’t have been able to overcome the impossible
so let’s get it

[verse 1: creative mind frame]
rags to riches, triumph’s what i’m getting
scratched all my itches, mentally and when it gets to be
the preparations over the top are helping me
overcoming the things that
they wanna see the end of me
they undercover like some
the son of grinding immigrants,
the nineties was a wild time pause,
didn’t have a lot
but i had a lot of backing
family made it happen
and the homies got it cracking
if you try to hold me down, that’s just a hold out
a weed through the cracks, you know that imma show out
education everlasting yeah, that helped me climb it up
and when an opportunity showed, i had to grind it up
i remember working 20 hour days
when tuition money calls gotta find a job that pays
hopped up on my bike
rode it to the bus
breaking bricks and paving man you do just what you must
hopped up on the train
my body full of pain
night shift at the
rinse and repeat yeah, that’s no pun intended
it never ended
[hook: atlas]
never backing down
rather break than bow
went from rags to bags
and in all of this made my family proud
there’s no backing down
rather break than bow
went from rags to bags but the humble brags
that we happy now, right now

[verse 2: creative mind frame]
days they steady blended but the money was steady stackin’ up

my best friend know it, he say my smile’s deadly

i hope you’re grasping never thrashin’

what’s happening
i’m spitting on this record like i’ll never rap again
and had to take the cadence back again
make it slap again
hear it in this voice that i’m proud to be an african
what happened to the hook is what you’re asking
but this song’s for when the trash has been classified by the masses

from all the ashes, laser focused on what the task is
it led ya to the bag kid
but you always proud to let em know you from that place
where the rags come from
and you wear them rags proudly
yeah i’m done, nahhhh
you know i gotta make the bad times good times
my bad, forgot to tell you all that i could rhyme

[hook: atlas]
never backing down
rather break than bow
went from rags to bags
and in all of this made my family proud
there’s no backing down
rather break than bow
went from rags to bags but the humble brags
that we happy now, right now

never backing down
rather break than bow
made my family proud
there’s no backing down
went from rags to bags but the humble brags
that we happy now, right now

never backing down
rather break than bow
went from rags to bags
and in all of this made my family proud
there’s no backing down
rather break than bow
went from rags to bags but the humble brags
that we happy now, right now
never backing down
rather break than bow
went from rags to bags
and in all of this made my family proud
