Reed Williams - On the Way Up Lyrics

Labbin', vibin' late at night, hop right on the mic cause I don't rehearse shit
I been tryna get it right, jotting down my mind, double down on verses
I done given half my life, tryna be alright, steady puttin' work in
But I ain't in it for the likes, chasing validation, that shit is worthless
Feel like they only care what's on the surface
Cop it and rock it, right off the purchase
I been all in my bag, yeah yeah, keep that shit up on my person
Lately I've been needing clarity
Back when no one was aware of me, this shit it used to be therapy
Now I'm tryna see the world, before I'm dead and they bury me
Broke outta my box, had to get out of it
This shit right here's for the ones who all doubted it
You only good as the ones you're surrounded with
I got the flow, they finna drown in it
I need a house in the hills
My momma need a vacation
Remember struggling, wondering whether not we'd have to ditch our location
God damn, we was low as the basement
Now, we done loaded the bases
I see crowds loaded with faces
Guess we've been going through changes
That's why I don't need it if it's fake
It's more bout who you are, then what you ain't
There's no mistake

Well I've been on the sidelines tryna make my plays
Headed to the high-life, I can't lose my way
Slide in with the same ones who been ridin' since day-one
If you ain't know already, that's fine, you can catch me on the way up

Well we on the way up, we always keeping it A-1
Never thinkin' bout a change up, cus I ain't in it just to make funds
Draw that line, f*ck what they doin been worried bout mine
I gotta work, ain't got no time, ain't gettin no sleep been on my grind
Been doin' this shit for the longest, I ain't a novice
Guess I'm done with being cautious, ah shit
We done gone and made a profit, wait
Hit 'HandWritten' for the product, aye
I been in it while they contemplate
I'm just tryna see deposits banked
Know I got it, if I keep up on it
I ain't worried bout it let it fall in place
That's the realist shit I ever knew
Lookin' to the streams, now we talkin' revenue
Still the money ain't a thing, finna spend it with a few
Lookin' at the top I'm just tryna cop a view
Cause we've seen hard times, never slowing off a stop-sign
Only god is fit to judge, I ain't finna budge off a f*ckin' hard-line
Yeah, that's why I don't need it if it's fake
It's more bout who you are, than what you ain't
There's no mistake

Well I've been on the sidelines tryna make my plays
Headed to the high-life, I can't lose my way
Slide in with the same ones who been ridin' since day-one
If you ain't know already, that's fine, you can catch me on the way up
Well I've been on the sidelines tryna make my plays
Headed to the high-life, I can't lose my way
Slide in with the same ones who been ridin' since day-one
If you ain't know already, that's fine, you can catch me on the way up
