Ivan B
The Jump
[Verse 1: Ivan B]
Yeah
Forget the feelings, let me rap
Heard your record, took a nap
This ain't ESPN, but you'll play this back
Would you look at that?
I write these lines and they get it tat
Dropped out of college to take you to class
My heart's sick of always thinkin' back
And throws up the cards that it's dealt
That's a cardiac, ay
I pick up the pen and I wonder who got it like I do
I look at the team and you know that I got you
We takin' a cab, but I'll get us to Cabo
One day, man, I promise, just be here tomorrow
Live fast, that's life
Life comes fast, that's why
Grow wings, now time flies
Don't pass time with pastimes, yeah
Here we go; step inside a studio
"Ivan, why you changin' on us?"
"Why you switching up the flow?" Ay
All the comparisons, man, I'm so done with it
Used to give love, now I got no love for them
Used to be fans of you and you
Till I see all this hatred you're followin'
Look at your content, look at your topic
Some of you got it, most of you lost it
Just 'cause you shop at Hot Topic don't mean you're hot topic
The album is comin', just wait till I drop it, boy, woo!
Let me see, yeah, let me be
I don't always count the money, but I always count on me, yeah
I don't drink, but I see two faces
Half of y'all couldn't catch a buzz if I gave you two cases
Don't play me no playlist; I see no stars in this playlist
You stand out like flashlights in Vegas
Grip the mic, like, "Girl, how far can you take us?"
Let's go
[Chorus: Ivan B]
From the jump, everybody say they got you
But they don't
From the jump, I said I'm just doin' me
That's for sure
From the jump, I been workin' on the low
Let 'em know
From the jump, from the jump, from the jump
From the jump
Only see you givin' love when I'm up
Ay, what's up?
Bein' bitter holds you down, that's what it does
But it's love; see the score
Run it up; see the crowd
Turnin' up; see your time
Runnin' up; where were you at from the jump?

[Verse 2: Abstract]
I just shut it down in Germany
Stuntin' so hard I know exes could murder me
I got a record of wreckin' these records
Still ain't got a diamond involved in my necklace
I keep that gauntlet on me like I'm Thanos
Mean I could dead half of you, not even sweat it
They say they're next, that there is cute
To keep 'emselves goin', they'll say what they do
I'm part of a plan that's out of my hands
I guess that destiny's kind of a fan
I spoke with the stars, bargain through bars
Pray to the powers that be for a chance
Now it's A to the T to the double W
To keep up with the team, it would seem you would have to double you
I don't mean to trouble you
But it's lookin' like the Clone Wars already couldn't bare another one of you (whoa!)
I am more than I imagined (whoa!)
I'm personified passion (whoa!)
I am pedal to the metal
I could never settle, flyin', know I'm crashin' (whoa!)
They either mumble or spit it so fast
The masses get totally blind to the fact
That they ain't said a damn thing
A lot of false prophets, very few are kings
I remember dreamin' 'bout it, now I wake up to it
That's another flip (yeah!)
Ivan hit me for the single, they know how the thing go
That's another hit (yeah!)
We been plottin' for a long time, now the plan in motion like it's rigged (yeah!)
But you weren't with us from the jump
No, you were busy jumpin' ship
[Chorus: Ivan B]
From the jump, everybody say they got you
But they don't
From the jump, I said I'm just doin' me
That's for sure
From the jump, I been workin' on the low
Let 'em know
From the jump, from the jump, from the jump
From the jump
Only see you givin' love when I'm up
Ay, what's up?
Bein' bitter holds you down, that's what it does
But it's love; see the score
Run it up; see the crowd
Turnin' up; see your time
Runnin' up; where were you at from the jump?
