Coming Up
Pimp C ft Lil Flip & Z-Ro Lyrics

Hold up (Hold Up), we jammin'
Stop for a moment, we're enjoying ourselves

I can't let nobody hold me down-these ho's could never hold me (never hold me)
I won't be held back or controlled by anyone, especially not women

Cause I'm comin' down, playa surroundin' livin' these ho's fantasy
I'm living a luxurious lifestyle that women can only dream of

Cause I'm choppin' blades and playin' maze and these bitches they can't stand it (can't stand it)
I'm driving luxurious cars and living in mansions, which makes women envious

Peep up in this game and this thing is so demandin'
The music industry is competitive and requires a lot of work to succeed

I'm comin up (choppin' on dubs and showin 'em love)
I'm rising in fame and wealth, driving expensive cars and spreading love

2000-Fizive and you are not fly enough (young bitch)
It's the year 2005 and you're not as cool or wealthy as me

Uh Hold up young bitch-bitch I just don't wanna stop comin'up
Wait a minute, I don't want to stop rising to success

Uh it's never too much the paper I make
I can never have enough money

These other pussy niggas ain't real them ho's fake
Other rappers are fake and not genuine, like women who pretend to be something they're not

I'm Sweet James Jones when you come through bitch
I'm the boss and you're beneath me

I treat you good because you know I'm rich
I'm kind to women because they're attracted to my wealth

I was in the ghetto-had nothin'
I grew up in poverty and had nothing

Sold a lot of records and grabbed somethin'
I became wealthy by selling a lot of albums

Now I'm goin' through movies in L.A
I'm now acting in movies and living the Hollywood lifestyle

Playin' the game the way the hustlers play
I'm succeeding in the music industry by working hard and taking risks

And everyday I try to stack my grip and make three songs
Everyday I try to make more money and create new music

I'm try'na get my mothafuckin' paper on
I'm working hard to make as much money as possible

I want the new (bone?) and the new cell phone
I want the latest technology and gadgets

I want the new two way pager and the new mansion home
I want the latest communication devices and a luxurious home

In Houston cause that is my city
I want to own property and succeed in my hometown of Houston

And them other pussy niggas they record sound shitty
Other rappers produce low-quality music

When I see you in the town I'm a hit you up
I'll confront other rappers when I see them

You never could take my dream cause you niggas fucked up
Other rappers can't undermine my dreams of success

I remember when I had to come up just to come down
I had to work hard to succeed in order to avoid failure

That's the reason for my uncontrollable ballin' right now
That's why I'm successful and living a luxurious life

Use to be scared to walk in the store I payed the price now
I used to be afraid to spend money, but now I can afford to shop without worry

My life is to valuable for me to play with life now
I value my life too much to engage in dangerous activities

Of course it's gon' be some niggas who think I done changed
Some people think I've become different or arrogant since achieving success

They find me guility just because now I got diamonds on every thing
They assume I'm responsible for negative changes in my personality because I now own a lot of diamonds

My mouth and my pinky ring, my wrist and my neck
I wear jewelry on my mouth, fingers, wrist, and neck

I'm 'bout my business so give me my cash or give me my check
I take my business seriously and demand payment for my work

See I can biblically remember me and Trae on the block
I remember spending time with Trae on the streets directly outside a church

Even more then hustlin' sometimes we had to lay on the block
We spent so much time working on the streets that we had to rest there also

Eat, sleep, shit, piss, pray on the block
We spent all of our time on the streets, even eating, sleeping, and using the bathroom there

To make it through the night to see another day on the block
We worked hard to survive in a dangerous environment

Movin' rocks got us full pockets-plus knots in our socks
Selling drugs made us wealthy and caused our socks to become bumpy from the money we stored in them

But now money be comin' in wadd's like blocks
Now we're making so much money that it fills our pockets to the point of looking like blocks

Let's go half on a Yacht-I got the pot you got the chicken fried steak
Let's invest together in a yacht, I have money and you have food

I can't even hear you haters you've been muted by my paper chase
I'm so focused on making money that I don't even hear or care about my haters

Who would've known that this rap shit would take me far
I never expected to be so successful in the music industry

At 18 I had a fifty-thousand dollar car
Even at a young age I had expensive possessions

I went from Jag to Benz but not the regular kind
I transitioned from a Jaguar to a Mercedes-Benz, but not the average or basic model

Now I'm smokin' hydro not the regular pine
Now I smoke high-quality marijuana, not the average or low-quality type

I spit one freestyle now I'm rockin' clubs
My success began with performing one freestyle rap, and now I'm famous and performing at clubs

After "Diamonds N Yo Face" I was coppin' dubs
After I released my song "Diamonds N Yo Face," I began to buy expensive cars

I had to make the transition from a boy to a man
I grew and matured over time, becoming more responsible and successful

So if you wanna 16 that's forty-grand
If you want me to feature on your song, it will cost you $40,000

Rappers talk a lot of shit but you ain't stoppin' us
Other rappers may talk negatively about me, but they can't stop my success

Look you don't wanna bump heads with a mafia (Huh)
Don't mess with me or my crew, we're like a powerful mafia

Look you don't know shit about UGK
Other rappers don't know anything about my group, UGK

Or Mr. Fat Pat and Grey Screw tapes
They also don't know anything about other Houston rappers, such as Mr. Fat Pat and DJ Screw's music

I rep the Screwed Up Click peep the watch I'm wearin'
I represent the Screwed Up Click, a group of Houston rappers, and I show off my expensive watch

I'm the first cat in Houston with a black Meclaron
I'm the first person in Houston to own a black McLaren sports car

Lil' Flipper tote pistols for them none believers
I carry guns to prove my point to those who don't believe in me

Cause down here we poppin' trunks on Cadillacs and Regals (Oh boy)
In Houston, we show off our cars by opening the trunks on our Cadillacs and Buick Regals

Peep up in this game and this thing is so demandin'
The music industry is competitive and requires a lot of work to succeed

I'm comin' up (choppin' on dubs and showin' 'em love)
I'm rising in fame and wealth, driving expensive cars and spreading love

2000-Fizive and you are not fly enough (young bitch)
It's the year 2005 and you're not as cool or wealthy as me

Uh Hold up young bitch-bitch I just don't wanna stop comin' up
Wait a minute, I don't want to stop rising to success
