Lu Cipher - Losses

Came from the bottom
Made my way up to the top
Every L became a lesson
I ain’t ever take a loss
(Take a loss ho)
I paid the cost to be the boss
And used the change to build a bridge
So y’all could make ya way across
(Come on across)
They poppin’ off
But I don’t hear them niggas talking
(I just don’t hear em)
Ain’t got the energy
I swear this shit exhausting
This why the workers shouldn’t be mixing with the bosses
Don’t take no breaks
Just bring the lunch up to my office
Since I been gettin’ it the shit became a problem
Nobody bitched when I was sittin’ at the bottom
Now that I’m winning you should see it as a blessing
This come from lessons that I learned from taking losses
I’m too humble
I’m too cocky
I’m too extra
(That’s what you think?)
I’ve heard it all before
And boy is it upsetting
(It is)
They got the answers
Ain’t nobody asking questions
Ain’t shit to do with me
Them niggas just projecting
(They just projecting)
I’m not a gangsta
This grip on me for protection
I cut the grass
The snakes migrated to the hedges
Copped a blade and got to shaving to perfection
Did so much landscaping
Might have to change professions
(Might have to do it)
Don’t think I’ll ever understand the hate I’m getting
I just roll my spliff
Smoke with my bitch and make my records
It used to bother me
The shit was way depressing
Till I realized that they just hating for attention
That same attention that they crave I didn’t want for me
Reciprocation really ain’t good for my soul homie
It’s making new enemies out of all my old homies
It’s feeling like this might be the end of the road for me
They poppin’ off
But I don’t hear them niggas talking
(I don’t hear em)
Ain’t got the energy
I swear this shit exhausting
This why the workers shouldn’t be mixing with the bosses
(Not at all)
Don’t take no breaks
Just bring the lunch up to my office
(Just bring it up)
Since I been gettin’ it the shit became a problem
Nobody bitched when I was sittin’ at the bottom
Now that I’m winning you should see it as a blessing
(It’s a blessing)
This come from lessons that I learned from taking losses
My ops are not an obstacle
They optional
Obsolete
I cannot compete with y’all
I gots to go
And honestly that is not ya seat
Stop tryna watch the throne
I got it bro
Rock my crown and sit around while flowers thrown
I’m out the street
Had to crack the concrete to sprout a rose
So proud of me
Thank the Lord for allowing me the time to grow
I’m out ya reach
But I’m not as out ya reach as all my goals
Don’t want no beef
But if you tryna stop my peace
I’m not opposed
I adjust
Midas touched right up under my collarbone
Heart of gold
Make ice cream trucks out of Rocky Roads
Laundry loads
The way I turned the tide in all my finest clothes
Cuz I decided I would rather hang it up before I fold
Jotting poems got me rocking shows all across the globe
Although I’m grateful for my bros
At times I’m better on my own
If I never left my comfort zone
I never would’ve known
How much discomfort could accelerate my growth
Lessons over losses
They poppin’ off
But I don’t hear them niggas talking
(I just don’t hear em)
Ain’t got the energy
I swear this shit exhausting
(I’m sleeping on em)
This why the workers shouldn’t be mixing with the bosses
Don’t take no breaks
Just bring the lunch up to my office
(Just bring it up)
Since I been gettin’ it the shit became a problem
(Why?)
Nobody bitched when I was sittin’ at the bottom
(Them niggas bitchin’)
Now that I’m winning you should see it as a blessing
This come from lessons that I learned from taking losses
Came from the bottom
Made my way up to the top
Every L became a lesson
I ain’t ever take a loss
(Take a loss ho)
I paid the cost to be the boss
And used the change to build a bridge
So y’all could make ya way across
