Coming Up
Pimp C feat. Z-Ro & Lil’ Flip Lyrics

Hold up, we jammin’
Let's pause for a moment and enjoy the music.

I can't let nobody hold me down
I refuse to let anyone keep me from achieving my goals.

These hoe's could never hold me
No woman can control or stop me from succeeding.

‘Cause I'm comin’ down, playa surroundin’
I am driving my car slowly through my neighborhood with my friends.

Livin’ these hoe's fantasy
Women are attracted to my lifestyle and want to be a part of it.

‘Cause I'm choppin' blades and playin’ maze
I am customizing and driving a car with spinning rims while listening to music.

And these bitches, they can't stand it
Women are jealous of my success and lifestyle.

Peep up in this game and this thing is so demandin'
Being successful in the music industry requires a lot of hard work.

(On them dubs)
I am rolling on custom rims.

Choppin’ on dubs and showin’ 'em love
I am driving a car with custom rims and showing off my success.

2000-Fizive and you are not fly enough
If you are not successful like me, you are not cool enough to hang with me.

Young bitch, hold up, hold up, young bitch
Wait a minute, young woman.

Bitch, I just don't wanna stop comin' up
I am determined to continue succeeding and making money.

It's never too much, the paper I make
I am making a lot of money and it's never enough for me.

These other pussy niggaz ain't real, them hoe's fake
Other male rappers are not authentic and women are fake.

I'm Sweet James Jones when you come through bitch
I am confident and successful when interacting with women.

I treat you good because you know I'm rich
Women want to be treated well by me because of my wealth and status.

I was in the ghetto, had nothin'
I grew up poor in a low-income neighborhood.

Sold a lot of records and grabbed somethin’
I became successful in the music industry and earned a lot of money.

Now, I go and do movies in L.A
I have expanded my career beyond music and act in movies.

Playin’ the game the way the hustlers play
I am succeeding in the music industry by working hard and using smart business tactics.

And everyday I try to stack my grip and make three songs
I am focused on making money and creating new music every day.

I'm tryna get my mothafuckin’ paper on
I am determined to earn as much money as possible.

I want the new [Incomprehensible] and the new cell phone
I want to own the latest technology and gadgets.

I want the new two way pager and the new mansion home
I want the latest electronic device and a large, luxurious house.

In Houston ‘cause that is my city
I am from and represent Houston, Texas.

And them other pussy niggaz they records sound shitty
Other male rappers' music is not as good as mine.

When I see you in the town, I'ma hit you up
When I see you in Houston, I will talk to you.

You never could take my dream ‘cause you niggaz fucked up
Other rappers cannot stop my success because they are not as good as me.

I remember when I had to come up just to come down
I had to work hard to succeed and make money after growing up poor.

That’s the reason for my uncontrollable ballin’ right now
My current extravagant spending is a result of my past struggles.

Use to be scared to walk in the store, I paid the price now
I used to be poor and afraid to go shopping but now I have the money to buy whatever I want.

My life is too valuable for me to play with life now
I cherish my success and take my life seriously now that I have achieved it.

Of course there’s gon' be some niggaz who gon’ think I done changed
Some people will think I have changed since becoming successful.

They find me guilty simply ‘cause, now, I got diamonds on every thing
Some people judge me unfairly because I wear expensive jewelry.

My mouth and my pinky ring, my wrist and my neck
I wear diamonds in my mouth, on my pinky finger, wrist, and neck.

I'm 'bout my business, so, give me my cash or give me my check
I take my music career seriously and deserve to be paid accordingly.

See I can vividly remember me and Trae on the block
I clearly remember hanging out with my friend Trae in my neighborhood.

Even more then hustlin', sometimes we had to lay on the block
We spent a lot of time in our neighborhood just hanging out and relaxing.

Eat, sleep, shit, piss, pray on the block
We spent all of our time on the block, even doing basic bodily functions.

To make it through the night, to see another day on the block
We had to be careful and survive each night to live to see another day.

Movin’ rocks got us full pockets plus knots in our socks
We sold drugs to make money and had a lot of cash and drugs hidden in our socks.

But now, money be comin’ in wad’s like blocks
I make so much money now that it comes in large stacks.

Let’s go half on a Yacht, I got the pot you got the chicken fried steak
Let's split the cost of a yacht, I will pay for drinks and you will pay for food.

I can't even hear you haters, you've been muted by my paper chase
I am too focused on making money to hear or care about people who dislike me.

Who would've known that this rap shit would take me far?
I am surprised by how successful I have become in the music industry.

At 18, I had a fifty-thousand dollar car
I was able to afford a very expensive car at a young age.

I went from Jag to Benz but not the regular kind
I upgraded my cars from a Jaguar to a Mercedes-Benz, but not just any model.

Now, I'm smokin’ hydro not the regular pine
I smoke high-quality marijuana, not the cheap kind.

I spit one freestyle, now, I'm rockin’ clubs
After performing one freestyle, I am now popular and performing at clubs.

After 'Diamonds N Yo Face', I was coppin’ dubs
After releasing my song 'Diamonds N Yo Face', I was purchasing cars with custom rims.

I had to make the transition from a boy to a man
I had to mature and become more responsible as I became more successful.

So, if you wanna 16 that's forty-grand
If you want me to write a verse for your song, it will cost forty thousand dollars.

Rappers talk a lot of shit but you ain't stoppin’ us
Other rappers talk about us, but they cannot prevent our success.

Look, you don't wanna bump heads with a mafia, huh
You do not want to challenge or fight with our group.

Look, you don't know shit about UGK
You do not know anything about the successful rap group UGK.

Or Mr. Fat Pat and Grey Screw tapes
You do not know the music of popular rappers Fat Pat and Grey.

I rep the Screwed Up Click, peep the watch I'm wearin’
I represent a Houston-based rap collective called the Screwed Up Click, look at my expensive watch.

I'm the first cat in Houston with a black Leclarion
I am the first person in Houston to own a particular brand of car stereo.

Lil' Flipper, tote pistols, for them non-believers
I carry guns for anyone who doubts or disrespects me.

‘Cause down here we poppin’ trunks on Cadillac’s and Regal’s, oh boy
In Houston, we customize cars and show off by opening the trunk.
