JIRI - Up From Here

Yeah
All on me I fear
Dead them all, tat my tears
About to take off my dear
It's only up from here
All on me I steer
Got to keep my mind clear
About to take off my dear
It's only up from here
Yeah
On the streets of Girard where it all started
About five nests down from where the park is
Neighbors cooking dope, and the twelve came knocking
Momma outside, smoking cigs just watching
Told me she would quit but the stress ain't stopping
Been like three years since we both stopped talking
Texts came through, but for myself had to block it
Maybe I should squash it, maybe I should drop it
My aunt want to fix it, I'm wishing we change the topic
"You her only son, you can't leave her in the darkness"
But I've been happy since I moved away from all this
And I'll be good, real good
Regardless
I don't mean to speak ill or seem heartless
But best believe I got to do what's best for me, respectfully
I can't have you weighing me down mentally,
Especially, when I got all this fucking life ahead of me, I've yet to see
Best believe
All on me I fear
Dead them all, tat my tears
About to take off my dear
It's only up from here
All on me I steer
Got to keep my mind clear
About to take off my dear
It's only up from here
I'm back at home on the road, GLI whipping
Same old streets, but the vibe feel different
Passing by the crib that your parents still live in
Miss it
Out here reminiscing
About all the family time that we spent up in that kitchen
Or the time alone when I snuck in for the visits
I know it well
Way before we knew ourselves
Way before we felt compelled
To lay up in hotels, and give each other hell
We was overwhelmed
To say the least
Fighting just to keep the peace, or to have release
Remember I would do it all, drop down to a knee
Remember when that job called, and they offered me
All that shit a nigga worked so hard for
But you on my phone talking distance
Listen
Felt that was uncalled for
Knew at that moment that we'd probably drift away
And without it
Probably never be where the fuck I am today
Aye
All on me I fear
Dead them all, tat my tears
About to take off my dear
It's only up from here
All on me I steer
Got to keep my mind clear
About to take off my dear
It's only up from here
