king sol - way up lyrics

[verse 1]
i don’t wait for luck i make it happen
you don’t say enough each time you’re rapping
i told my team we got no need for acting
cause honesty is on display and i’m the main attraction
i see you talking ’bout the bucks you’re stacking
or all the birds you got up in the trap and
a million luxuries everyone’s lacking
but listen you’ve got no idea ’bout the plans i’m packing
i do this music in my free time, but
i put myself onto a track which compromised my image
my life was on the line but treated that song like a scrimmage
i see these rappers in convertibles windows are tinted
they think i’ve hit my peak well psych ’cause i am far from finished
don’t you compare me to other rappers that’s not myself
don’t get concerned when i say on these tracks that i need help
just know since seventh grade that i was tryna chase a vision
and all i wanted was for all of these people to listen

[hook]
if i’m on my way up, would you be there with me?
and if i’m on my way down, would you be there too?
so if i’m on my way up, would you be there with me?
just promise me you know now
i did it all, i did it all for you

[verse 2]
family called me from home and said you should make the move
that shows the world is on my side but i got more to prove
i told myself when i was younger there’s no destination
i know i gotta be the best cause there’s no consolation
it’s school or music i think they want me to choose a side
and rappers ’round the country wanna see me move aside
rap is my baby i’d be crazy if it’s crucified
but school is my home and giving that up would be suicide
so i do work during the daytime and rapping at night
i’m hardly sleeping so i gotta keep both them in sight
i got the confidence but no one would call me lavar
that’s cause i’m grounded and i don’t spend my nights at the bar
so now it’s 10pm and i’m looking up at the stars
i got the ones that’s closest to me they know who they are
i’m back in high school and we spitting the beats on guitar
i never woulda thought that rapping would take me this far

[hook]

[verse 3 / outro]
so you should tell me where i’m headed to
i been in it blind ain’t no one give me a schedule
still one of a kind i spit it right off the dome
but if i’m on my way up i hope i end up home
and if i finally stay up tell me what i’m running from
make sure in my mind that i remember where i’m coming from
really said i’m not the best sometimes and yeah i know it
i try my best i hope you know sometimes i wanna show it
the journey never ends and additions they never sum
we’re meant to chase the finish line and no that never comes
while people pick their pennies off the porch and pop their guns
i find myself contemplating if i want this to run
cause i know every positive thing is met with a negative
and when i die they’re gonna have to bury me with a sedative
i sense i’m on the come up and i know i want it all
but if i’m on my way up there’s gotta be a fall, yeah
