Lose the Ground - Yu, Tall Black Guy, Mello Music Group

You got a million and one things to do

But grateful for the new hue

Spend my color wheel amongst the tried and true

Not the in it for the minute got tired and through

On to the next with no reflex, what’s pride to you

Its like you put something together and forgot the glue

The difference between what to do and what not to do

You got youngans looking up, yo they are watching you

Because you dropped a jewel gave a spark that’s like rocket fuel

Never blame, upper aims, switch lanes and things

You facing sunshine and rain the same

That wasn’t how we raised

As a child we went through challenging thangs

Instead of complaining we made it up out of that maze

It was a crooked path, now we look back and laugh

Hahahaha

We come so far from cashing them food stamps

Born with rhythm to the beat we apply the dance

Jam for all of the ones who can’t motivate the mass

Elders said crowns ain’t going to fit one with a swollen head

A king no room for a throne that’s how you know he cares

About his kingdom, you seen him feeding his folks freedom by the plate

Not worried of others taking his place

Same old thang no matter who’s around

Here somewhere trying to lose the ground

Moving on up that’s how we get down

Here somewhere trying lose the ground

I’m here-- somewhere-- trying to lose-- the ground

For you to be brown, educated, and proud nowsdays is rare

They be open earred they mind was closed

And all you hearing is what is you wearing

They want a new benz with them rims on them twenty twins

Herb, splurge, the money spend honey soft skin

Came with the ride like the system inside

Temperature rise get a glimpse of them thighs and switch gears years and sincere

Yeah forget where from that’ll keep you back

Friends scatter chasing them I ain’t doing that

Up coming using that ladder to the stack

Getting racks above maximum teller never ask

That’ll last tell the cash come slow

You look around

A bunch a bad checks you wrote, what to do now

Got a couple in your huddle said they holding you down

You need them seein' a piece sign disappear in the crowd

Same old thang no matter who’s around

Here somewhere trying to lose the ground

Moving on up that’s how we get down

Here somewhere trying lose the ground
