Lyrics
“Came Up”
by Bakes
Came up from the bottom, and I made it to a problem
Now you see they’re rockin’, how they’ve got their heads noddin’
Everywhere I go, we’re workin’, move around, I’m steady mobbin’
I just spit the heat, then like grease I get it poppin’
Once I’m on there ain’t no stoppin’
And people always talkin’
Let my actions do it for me; What they’re sayin’? I’m a boss
And if you only knew ‘bout all the time and my hours spent
Where most of my power went
You would wouldn’t be sour, yet
Maybe you would, if you were envious
I don’t do it for attention, though
I just do it ‘cause I’m meant to flow
And this life, I was sent to grow
Can’t stand still, no sentinel
God’s soldier
See the way that I crossed over
See the way that I bossed up
And brought myself a lot closer
To achievin’ my purpose
Nobody is worthless
But me, I’m just worth a lot more when you dig beneath the surface
You heard this, you
See the way I’m comin’ now
I bet they all wonder how
I made it to where I’m at
I came from the underground
Lookin like a hundred thou
Takin’ shots, I’m gunnin’ now
When you’re elevatin’
People change up, and it’s funny how
I came up, I came up
Yeah, you know I came up, I came up
And people say I changed up, I changed up
But no, I ain’t the same ‘cause I came up
They said I couldn’t do it, but I overcame
Now all the people hear my music and they know my name
I swear this life I live is enough to make one go insane
Do you embrace the pain, or just numb it like novocaine?
Me, I just focus on my path and what I’m grateful for
Tryin’ to move a mountain, so that’s why I’m ‘bout to shake floor
They ain’t want to let me in, that’s why I had to break the door
Even tried to knock, but I don’t know what they take me for
There may be more to this picture than we tend to see
In my life, there’s a higher power that’s been sendin’ me
Messages and signs, that’ve been tellin’ me I should keep goin’
When you have success, they’re gonna talk and I’m already knowin’
That this journey I’ve accepted is quite rigorous
Why my spirit’s vigorous
Flyin’ high, but I don’t burn my wings and fall like Icarus
Words, I am too slick with this
Thinkin’, “I should I stick with this”
I’ve been on the rise, comin’ up, and now I’m in this bitch
See the way I’m comin’ now
I bet they all wonder how
I made it to where I’m at
I came from the underground
Lookin like a hundred thou
Takin’ shots, I’m gunnin’ now
When you’re elevatin’
People change up, and it’s funny how
I came up, I came up
Yeah, you know I came up, I came up
And people say I changed up, I changed up
But no, I ain’t the same ‘cause I came up
