Straight Up - C5

I had to grind to get my weight up

I can’t see you boys cause I’m way up

Told her I don’t got no time to lay up

I don’t sugar coat shit I tell you Straight Up

Like you a fuck nigga Straight Up

And I don’t fuck with you Straight Up

Yeah, I had to grind to get my weight up

If they ask you where I’m going tell them Straight Up

I used to call she used to hit ignore

I used to move that dope in front of Williams store

When I had the aux cord they ain’t wanna hear the boy

Now I got a flow that the labels probably kill you for

I act first then I ask questions

Long strides on them we don’t do no half stepping

She say I got good sex but I’m a bad texter

But you know how I play it, business first and that’s second

Damn 5 you a fool

I can’t lie I’m the truth

I’m A.I.

if I hoop

Cause I never played by the rules

Ain’t PIRU but I’m bool

And they can’t walk in my shoes

Cause I don’t talk I JUST DO IT

And I have not made it yet but I am on the way

It’s Only Up, that’s the only way

Golden child from the Golden State

I’m so stuck in my Oakland ways

We are not friends we associate

Cause niggas be telling first 48

Word to Kendrick, word to Drake

Word to J. Cole, C5 on the way

I’m the best on the West Coast

Niggas like thats bold to say

But what the fuck I’m supposed to say

When I know I’m great

I ain’t throwing shade

I’m just shining light on it for the record

When I hit it, only time I’m coming second

I can go for hours even unprotected

God damn that was unexpected, oops

Ooh damn 5 damn, ain’t know I spit like that

Don’t wanna take it to the streets but it can get like that

On 59th & Shattuck Ave where I came up

I’ll show you how I got that 5 in my name, Straight Up

I had to grind to get my weight up

I can’t see you boys cause I’m way up

Told her I ain’t got no time to lay up

I don’t sugar coat shit, I tell you straight up

Like you a fuck nigga straight up

And I don’t fuck with you straight up

Yeah, I had to grind to get my weight up

If they ask you where I’m going tell em Straight Up

If they ask you where I’m going just go head and point them up

Yeah I know they call me 5 but like C4 I’m blowing up

I got bills that need be paid, I can’t do nothing on the love

Made exceptions in the past but that was only for my blood

Circle shrinking as I’m growing up

Girl just know that I’m old enough

She say I’m a baby but she still gonna open up

Ride me like an '88

Kill them with the baby face

Then I gotta slide cause they always show they’re crazy ways

She say «You too busy with yo goals»

But tell me what you want, me be busy or be broke?

Ever since i cuffed you, you be trying to do the most

So I’ma get a side just to keep you on yo toes, Straight Up

I had to grind to get my weight up

I can’t see you boys cause I’m way up

Told her I ain’t got no time to lay up

I don’t sugar coat shit, I tell you straight up

Like you a fuck nigga straight up

And I don’t fuck with you straight up

Yeah, I had to grind to get my weight up

If they ask you where I’m going tell em Straight Up
