J-Baby - Came Up Lyrics

I came up from one bedroom, taking my naps up on my momma couch.
Three jobs, never stop working, I'm really buggin' out.
These niggas do this shit for attention, they only want the clout.
But I'm really an artist, imma show you what I'm really bout.
Ain't Been up on my bills since I got my diploma.
Verizon keep calling, they told me my connection over.
Electric company buggin', they said it's gone get colder.
But I cannot give up the fight until the day is over.
Man I'm Only twenty one, but I done lived a thousand lifetimes.
Running to the bank, bout to go deposit my last dime.
Niggas cracking jokes, but I can't, I ain't got no free time.
Instead , I gotta figure out how imma shape this punchline.
Hold that thought, gotta clock out, it's lunch time.
I'm eating healthy, not referring to what's on my plate.
But on the contrary, I could go for some sustenance.
I'm selfish about my money, I'm like Republicans.

Let me tell you how I came up.
(Can I?) Show you how they really raised us?
(Let me) tell you how I really came up.
(Let me) show you they can never tame us.

Wasn't happy in school, I just tried to fit in.
Nigga's hitting me up like we was really best friends.
Then we left that shit and that's when they start acting different.
See mama, that's the proof that I'm really not pessimistic.
I seen it coming, but it really wasn't no premonition.
Nigga's dropping left and right, like i came and dismissed 'em.
So I just had to move on and go about my business.
It started rocky and it really haven't changed yet.
It's hard to make a change living check to paycheck.
I'm scared to stack my chips, cause I could die tomorrow.
Why try to save up, when I could go and buy the bar?
I could buy some tree , why save up for a car?
When you down and bad, you truly find out who you are.
I never thought working nine to five's was this depressing.
As a youngin' I ain't head the warnings I was blessed with.
Damn, I guess I'm being tested.

Let me tell you how I came up.
(Can I?) show you how they really raised us?
(Let me) tell you how I really came up.
(Let me) show you they can never tame us.
Yeah, let me tell you how I came up.
(Can I?) show you how they really raised us?
(Let me) tell you how I really came up.
(Let me) show you they can never tame us.
Let me tell you how I came up.
(Can I?) show you how they really raised us?
(Let me) tell you how I really came up.
(Let me) show you they can never tame us.
(Break off the chains)
They can never change us.
They can never, never, never change us.
(Change Us)
Uh.
Yeah.
J. Baby.
