I've been thinking, lately it's just me against the world

'Round and 'round, I'm caught up in this swirl tryna dig in, tryna burrow

Pressure turned this stone into a pearl

Lessons that I learned weren't always thorough sugar-coated like a churro

Now I'm really out here on my own

Now my homies acting like I owe 'em, done extending out my arm

Made a lot of money from my poems

Been around and now they say I'm on

But I can finally say I'm up now, I'm up now

Twenty-thousand on a bust down, a bust down

I'm on my way up, going up now, up now

And I ain't ever gonna touchdown, touchdown

(No, I ain't ever gonna-)

No, I ain't ever gonna touchdown

No, I ain't ever gonna touchdown

Mind's on, I can't turn it off, late nights that I'm turning up

Hate life, then I learned to love, down and out, now I'm way above

I always knew I had it, now I'm living out my dreams

Treat that money like an addict, it's a habit, I'm a fiend

Feeling that rush, rocket ready to launch, hands up ready and gone

Been waiting too long, trust, done plenty that's wrong

Old me's dead and that's gone, thank God I'm headstrong

I don't wanna wake up with a doubt, that I ain't show 'em everything I'm 'bout

I ain't ever going out, I ain't ever did it for the clout

Now I'm sitting pretty on a cloud and my mom's still proud

I can finally say I'm up now, I'm up now

Twenty-thousand on a bust down, a bust down

I'm on my way up, going up now, up now

And I ain't ever gonna touchdown, touchdown

(No, I ain't ever gonna-)

No, I ain't ever gonna touchdown

No, I ain't ever gonna touchdown

I'm up now, twenty-thousand on a bus down, a bus down

I'm on my way up, going up now, up now

And I ain't ever gonna touchdown, touchdown, yeah-ey
