Start It Up
J.Eliaye Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Foreal
My nigga I was drowning
But Mookie And Qupee and Jason
Stood there by my side while I tried to make it
Put it all on the line just to be the greatest
While most of these goofy niggas just trying to be famous
But not me nah G I'm built for it
Cops guns to my face almost got killed for it
Young-in chasing them chips missing the dip for it
And running out of gas fuck it I Lyft for it
This shit never even when it's favorites
When it wasn't my season I was patient
I made mistakes and had to face it
Man fuck them comments and engagements
Yeah
I'm chasing commas in my statements
Shit
I need two commas in my payments
Yeah
My life been far from a vacation
Took my own road fuck their pavement
My vision never got blurry
That's why when I move I'm not worried
But it's bigger than me
The wins bitter sweet
As long as end up somewhere that I couldn't reach
We talking faith
I'm still here off a leap
Young black and blessed out here with the elite
Years passed I done seen a lot of things
I done witnessed Hollywood killing dreams
But yet here we are
You don't realize where you at but nigga trust you came far
This for them dream chasers that done slept in the car
Compared to where you been
This a walk in the park
But it's up
It's up
It's up
It's up
It's up right now




We're still up right now
We're still up
