The Come Up

[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton & Ace Hood]

This is a come up

Grinding for the ones that I love

Fueled by the passion and pain

And all the bullshit I've been through

Still I hold my head up high

And all them roadblocks I walk right through

I do it for the ones like me

And all people who's just like you

No matter what they say about me

I'mma do whatever I gotta do

[Verse 1: Ace Hood]

This is the come up

Where niggas hustle from night to sun up

The gutta, where niggas run up and they get done up

And mama tryna make a dollar for son and daughter

Where them times are even harder without a father

Want a job but never bother

All about them commas, bigger diamonds and high designer

With all the finest women, goddess

With perfect bodies that we admire

This is the come up where niggas do whatever for money

They'll murk a nigga now and got to church on a Sunday

Probably snitch on homeboys and take a flight out of country

It's fucked up, the motive is to get out the hood

Get your mama new crib, keep your family good

When that money is pouring and them jewels is shining

And them cars are foreigns, them haters praying it storm

It's no love, it ain't a place for the weak

Only strong survive, only hustlers ride

This is the come up

[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton & Ace Hood]

Grinding for the ones that I love

Fueled by the passion and pain

And all the bullshit I've been through

Still I hold my head up high

And all them roadblocks I walk right through

I do it for the ones like me

And all people who's just like you

No matter what they say about me

I'mma do whatever I gotta do

[Verse 2: Ace Hood]

Where niggas hustle from night to sun up

And dreams are never seemed couldn't believe

And it seems you can achieve by any means go and get it

Anything you vision and anything you wishing you can live it

Just bare the witness they said i wouldn't and i did it

What God intended from being label as a menace

To counting millions my daughter smiling every minute

I'm an a attendance oh lord i got my deal in the field

Crying hundred of tears feeling like that doughboy hit a lick for a meal

Riding round with that work know them weapons concealed

If them feds ever catch em leave them for 200 hundred years for that dope

And I know money come money go in the fame in the game

All the hate that it brings many lost some gave never changed not me

Gotta survive everyday know every morning i wake

I'm tryna come up

[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton & Ace Hood]

Grinding for the ones that I love

Fueled by the passion and pain

And all the bullshit I've been through

Still I hold my head up high

And all them roadblocks I walk right through

I do it for the ones like me

And all people who's just like you

No matter what they say about me

I'mma do whatever I gotta do

[Bridge: Anthony Hamilton]

This is the come up

So, don't you dare give up?

Keep your head above the clouds

And your eyes on the price

Don't you dare give up?

This is for the grind

[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton & Ace Hood]

Grinding for the ones that I love

Fueled by the passion and pain

And all the bullshit I've been through

Still I hold my head up high

And all them roadblocks I walk right through

I do it for the ones like me

And all people who's just like you

No matter what they say about me

I'mma do whatever I gotta do

[Outro: Anthony Hamilton]

This is the come up

One day you gon make it out struggle

Don't you worried now?

My brothers and my sisters, mama too

This is the come up
