Lookin Up - Kingspade, Big B

Looking up from the bottom

Looking up from the bottom

When you’re living on the bottom

Looking from the bottom

When you’re climbing up the ladder

Ain’t nobody wanna battle, I live this, it’s my life

It’s Kingspade, KMK til the day that I die

Waking up Monday morning getting ready for work

Was just up Sunday morning getting ready for church

But now I’m back on the ground pulling 12 hour shifts

Then I gotta make some dough to feed my family and kids

Pay the note where I live and keep food in my fridge

It’s hard to walk a straight line when dealing with this shit

Cause as a youth I used to hustle and had a gang and cash

But you only end up dead or in jail fast

Fighting demons in my head trying to pull me away

From this life that I’m leading but I know it’s the only way

That’s gonna keep me alive, I gotta stay strong

Cause I don’t wanna die, I wanna live long

It’s hard to do right when you ain’t got the lights

On in your crib at night and your kids are scared

But you keep your faith strong and know the day will come

When you’re rewarded for your actions towards everyone

Seems so tight (looking up from the bottom)

Everything looks nice (looking up from the bottom)

Man this life sucks (looking up from the bottom)

Cause no one gives a fuck (when you’re living at the bottom)

But I’mma find a way so (I'm looking from the bottom)

It’s time to make a play start (climbing up the ladder)

Ain’t nobody wanna battle, I live this, it’s my life

It’s Kingspade, KMK til the day that I die

Before you make a move you gotta think about your actions

Think about the consequences before they happen

You gotta be smarter than the next man

Or the Captain cause?

Fuck the plan, it’s not your deal

Don’t do what they say cause it’s not what you feel

Keep shit real and keep it in the pocket

If you don’t got the pocket then don’t try to rock it

Stop it, let me slip it in the darkness

With the monsters creep into the bottom where the bottom drops?

With your confidence, it gets harder and harder with your ignorance

You keep falling farther and the?

Deeper and deeper with your lack of sense

The weight’s getting heavy and you’re fall from?

Man this life sucks looking up from the bottom

Man, I said it before, you never showed me the top

No wonder I was on the bottom, my life full of struggle

Problem after problem fool please

You think I don’t know what it’s like to make nachos out of government cheese

Two pairs of pants, both have holes in the knees

As I ask myself when it’s gonna end

Now my pops just got sentenced to six in the state pen

So I guess this pen now is my best friend

That and a pad of paper, 'cause we doing two things these days

Writing rhymes and committing a caper

And I’ll be damned if I’m gonna ask myself why?

From this point on yo it’s do or die

Look at the people in them fancy cars

Look at all the jewelry behind this glass?

Look at all the money in them dresser drawers

I’m like fuck it if I can’t get mine I’ma take yours
