Back From Up Top

Never having confidence in myself

Often wishing I was someone else

If I was told to do something I thought was hard, my favorite tune I soon would star

I can't, I can't

Just came back from up top

And that's home base, but it really ain't safe tryin' to be somebody you're not

Still tryin' to figure it out, but I figured out how to move when they plot

It was open so I took the slot, left me open so I took the shot

I'm good in the town, in the hood, in the streets, on the block, or wherever the spot

Giving that work, punching in with no clock

You can say the flow cold, but the mic gettin' hot

And I'm from the big apple I won't let it rot

I had to be patient that's without a doc

It ain't easy I know it that's without a doubt

Counting my blessings, they counted me out

Free anybody who deserve to be out

Can't bring no green or my nine, I leave out

I pick it up, load it up, then leave out

Rollin' up trees, I done made a tree house

Knew the path I was going I had to reroute

Could've put him in the clouds, all because of some clout

In the clutch when I'm focused, don't panic or pout

Show me that water, I come back wit trout

I'm in the game showing out for the scouts

Step in the field and come see what I'm 'bout

Heard he was food, he a plate of Halal

No he won't last like a eighth of the loud

Phone goin' off that's a play for me now, was at the Rucker but don't play in the town

In Harlem with them real rights yelling iced out

Til' my lights out

Mix it up, but I can't give the recipe

I do it well like a great white

Don't know why they think they ahead of me

Sneaky boy like a creep in the late night

I be boolin', I stay to myself though, like the moon in the middle of the night

I be high, never once booked a flight

We traveled with them bags, never once took a hike

I was telling myself that I can't get it right

Where it's dark, at the end it's some light

You getting left if you didn't turn right, I get busy like the Jersey turnpike
