[Intro]
From the ground up
We buildin' from the ground up
We buildin' from the ground up
Uh

[Verse]
From the ground up, it all starts from the beginning
All the steps you take is necessary, the art of fulfilling
Whatever goals you got, stay down and take it to the ceiling
Real hustlers stay ambitious to make a long-term killing
Yo, how you feeling?
Ayo, I'm feeling like stockin' up
Tomorrow's not promised, all the dramas keep poppin' up
We at the forefront of this war and it'll never end
Surviving is a everyday objective
You gotta be selective of the choices you makе
This is a jungle, they'll take advantagе of you if you let 'em
Regardless how you met 'em, keep your guards up
And keep your eyes open, that's just a token
Information is everywhere, so be open
We had a bond, but it's now broken
Is there such thing as bein' over-focused?
I use my rhymes to give hope to the hopeless
I'm makin' it, Mama, they know my name across the ocean
It's the scribe of historical record
I put in the effort, learned to deal with all of the pressures
I'm on another tier
Of excellence, it's more than real
I put the key in the door and unlock a new level when I appear
Smokin' top fives the new thing, strengthen my arm like Popeye's
Make sure you tie your shoestrings
'Case some demons tryna drop by
In many categories I strive in
Cars that I slide in; you wanna get in, hop inside, then
And if you really rock with me, then go and subscribe, then
You want a job? Better go and apply, then
[Chorus]
From the ground up, just tryna keep turnin' up (Turnin' up)
Progressin' and processin', I keep earnings up (Earnings up)
From the ground up, just tryna keep turnin' up (Turnin' up)
Progressin' and processin', I keep burnin' up (I'm burnin' up)
From the ground up, just tryna keep turnin' up (Turnin' up)
Progressin' and processin', I keep burners tucked (Burners tucked)
From the ground up, just tryna keep turnin' up (Turnin' up)
Progressin' and processin', I keep earnings up (Earnings up)

[Outro]
I keep earnings up (Earnings up)
I keep runnin' it up (Runnin' it up)
I keep earnings up (Earnings up)
I keep runnin' it up (Runnin' it up)
