502 Come Up
Bryson Tiller Lyrics

For real though, it's so wild now This crazy yeah
The situation has become unpredictable and difficult to comprehend

Woke up in the hills this morning Asking myself, how did I get here this morning?
Surprised to find oneself in a more successful and affluent situation

Vante Parker in that teal and orange And Russell in that gold and purple
Reference to basketball players, representing ambition and success

Youngest from the Ville, imported I used to sit up in my room and ponder Finished school and get a doctors
Describing his background as the youngest person from his city, having aspirations for higher education

I'm twenty-two, I gotta get it now Man who knew he'd have it figured out?
Feeling the pressure to succeed at a young age and reflecting on how far he has come

Trap soul, man, I crack codes Crack cocaine, that's what we putting out
Combining musical talent with the darker side of life, referencing the impact of the drug culture on his community

These fuck niggas saying Don't forget when you was broke, I was looking out
Dealing with people who criticize his success and forget the support he received from them

And some say there's levels to this shit Damn look at all the levels that I skipped Feeling like there's a medal I should get
Being proud of the progress he has made and feeling deserving of recognition

All these haters getting heavy on my dick Look at my niggas, chasing paper Getting books with my niggas So how the fuck can people back home say I shook on my niggas
Dismissing negativity and celebrating the loyalty of his friends who share in his success

Your two cents ain't working for me All you niggas sound commercial to me, man I don't like commercial niggas Please shut the fuck up before I hurt you (Fuck your feelings)
Rejecting unsolicited advice and criticism from people who don't understand his unique approach

Don't take it personal, (it's nothing personal) This a Derby City come up, this a Derby City vertical First forty-eight, straight murder you
Clarifying that his success is a result of his own hard work, and warning potential competitors about his determination

For years and years we waited on this Living in a place folks didn't know exist Surprise motherfucker, we up in this bitch I said I'm back and I'm so much better I'm so, so much better
Reflecting on the struggles he and his community have faced, while celebrating their newfound success

And I won't stop (Louis) I can't stop Not now (Louis) not ever (Louis, Louis)
Expressing his confidence and determination to continue succeeding, while referencing a popular fashion brand

Louis slugger with the hits Knock them out the park then I'm knocking down your bitch I'm watching how you pitch I'm not from Houston, no, I'm not from 'round the six Got the four series, I should cop the six after the world series
Using baseball references to describe his ability to succeed on his own terms, while distancing himself from others who follow trends

I just taught the rich 'bout palm trees and bad bitches And how these snakes can harm me with bad business Damn, fuck out of here nigga
Reflecting on the irony of teaching wealthy people about his unique experiences, while also acknowledging the risks of entering business deals with the wrong people

It's very rare for young black men to come up out of here nigga Some will call it luck and some will call me up I ain't heard from you in years Please get the fuck out my ear nigga
Acknowledging the challenges of achieving success as a black man, and dismissing the opinions of those who didn't support him during his journey

My peers get it Only G-O-D can judge me, fuck the jurisdiction I'm working, ain't got time for thirsting Over how these chicks appear in pictures I'm just painting crystal clear pictures Brushing up on my lyrics nigga
Cultivating his craft and refusing to get caught up in superficial distractions, while acknowledging his faith and that he is accountable only to a higher power

I just wish momma was here to live up under chandeliers with us I guess all I ever had to do was take this shit a little more serious
Longing for the presence of his late mother and acknowledging the importance of taking responsibility for his own success
