AJ Menace - The Come-Up (feat. Pres) Lyrics

I wanna make me some cash
I wanna make it real fast
I'm tired of all of the hoping and begging
I'm tired of being a drag
I'm tired of begging these other rappers to come hop on my track and collab
I shouldn't be begging at all, I'm pretty cool and I'm pretty rad
And no I do not know my dad, no I do not know my dad
But I call him on the phone, I don't see him much, but that isn't bad
But it is oh so very sad, and no no no I am not mad
People be making they jokes, but I do not give a crap
I just been balling all day like a pro
Gaining the fans that'll help me to grow
And I been tryna make it on my own
Promoting alone is real hard little bro
Everything's getting so out of control, I should've been popping a while ago
Momma told me that I need to be patient, so recently I been taking it slow
But I gotta get back at it like an addict
I been grinding all year man it's automatic
I been going to school and doing my work
But these kids got me mad, got me asthmatic
I been tearing it up in the streets all day
I been tryna get back to my main roots
I been living on the down low, down low just like Waldo
Just trying to improve

We've been doing this forever now
And it's feeling like forever now
Ohhh ohhhhh
There ain't no point in us slowing down
We're getting bigger only forward now
Ohhh ohhhhh

Working everyday, swear I had a couple clones
Always in the studio, y'all think it's my home
And it is, writing all these hits up on my phone
They the reason that I see my bank account be growing on the daily
Everybody out here hating
Telling me I'll never make it
Homie I already made it
Look at the stats
They in the hundreds of thousands
All of my fans surrounding me
With their love my heart pounding
How did I get this ounce of fame
It's from me working every single day
It's from me making every single great
AJ hit me up and said I should hop on this beat
Then I said I'm on the way
People be asking me $100 for a verse
And I'm curious how'd they get paid
They are not even worth a fraction of it
I do mine for free just to further the game
My influences are Logic and Cole and Sean and Travis and Chance and Drake
If you want to take a spot at the top then gotta listen to the poems they make
I'm never giving up on my dreams and the team we're going to make empire just wait
Oh, man I forgot that we doing it now, Manifest Records the name

We've been doing this forever now
And it's feeling like forever now
Ohhh ohhhhh
There ain't no point in us slowing down
We're getting bigger only forward now
Ohhh ohhhhh
