Amerikkken - The Come Up

Stay down 'till you come up
Praying for a come up
Praying for a come up nigga
Praying for a come up nigga
Praying for a uh
Stay down 'till you come up
Praying for a come up
Praying for a come up nigga
Praying for a come up nigga
Praying for a uh
Stay down 'till you come up
Praying for a come up
Praying for a come up nigga
Praying for a come up nigga
Praying for a uh
Stay down 'till you come up
Praying for a come up
Praying for a come up nigga
Praying for a come up nigga
Praying for an uh
Stay down 'till you come up
Praying for a come up
Dollar and a dream like Cole cause I'm broke and I'm grinding till the sun up
Need more than a quick buck
Wishing for some good luck
Tryna get by nickel dime quarter penny
Still living stuck in a rut
Stay down 'till you come up
Praying for a come up
Dollar and a dream like Cole cause I'm broke and I'm grinding till the sun up
Need more than a quick buck
Wishing for some good luck
Tryna get by nickel dime quarter penny
Still living stuck in a rut
Right now I'm just doing enough to get by
Lower middle class the money on my mind
Searching for the cream but still cannot find
Enough to support so I'm back on the grind
Tired of working a 9 to 5
Can't stay I'm dead but I'm not alive
Not working to live I'm just working to die
Happiness something that money can't buy but
All my problems stem from the fact I'm broke
And all my problems stem from the fact I'm po'
Look
I'm stuck between a hard place and a rock
Tired of being broke but I'm tired of punching these clocks
Dear Lord make it stop
But I must be late
Cause I feel like God sleep every time that I pray
Born rich niggas are the type of niggas I hate
Cause they ain't never had to pray as much as I had to pray
And they don't work no 9 to 5 cause they can sleep and get paid
Or blow my college tuition just cause they bored for the day
Man they ain't never been in my shoes
They ain't never had to hustle like I did or I still do
From the fast food to cleaning bathrooms
I never had a gold plate or a silver spoon in my mouth
I had to get it by any means fuck you talking about
I was an Outcast
I had to get up and get it when I was down bad
Paycheck to paycheck I did it for everything I have
Grinding for the white man while they pockets expand
And they wonder why I'm mad
And they wonder why I'm stressed
And they wonder why I'm pressed
Bitch I'm depressed I'm too creative
Sensei with the pen raise nigga I'm underrated
And I'm underpaid
I'm taking my Chance for a grand for more than 10 Days
Praying for better days
Stay down 'til you come up
Praying for a come up
Praying for a come up nigga
Praying for a come up nigga
Praying for an uh
Stay down 'til you come up
Praying for a come up
Praying for a come up nigga
Praying for a come up nigga
Praying for an uh
Stay down 'til you come up
Praying for a come up
Praying for a come up nigga
Praying for a come up nigga
Praying for an uh
Stay down 'til you come up
Praying for a come up
Praying for a come up nigga
Praying for a come up nigga
Praying for an uh
