Ups & Downs - AOL Sessions

You know, sometimes in life

You have to go through some ups and go through some downs

I learned that from my grandfather

And I just wanna say right now that

In life, I'm goin' through some ups and some downs

And I appreciate those who are prayin' for me through my hard times

And when you go through your ups and downs

I want you to play this record right here (yeah)

It go like this, oh-oh

There will be (yeah) ups and downs, smiles and frowns

Share with me, fairy tales are make-believe

There will be ups and downs, smiles and frowns

I'm tryin' to figure out how the fuck I'ma do y'all

I'm hangin' with my homie from the turf, that's young Q-Ball

Givin' me the word on the streets, here's the scoop, y'all

Peep the niggas from Tha Eastsidaz are split up (they split up)

And one of 'em tried to fuck your shit up (fuck your shit up)

Nah, cuh, don't believe that (don't believe that), that's my nigga for life

I used to have a lot of broads that I don't fool with

I used to have a lot of homeboys I ain't cool with

A lot of people that a nigga went to school with

They happy as hell to see the big dog doin' it

But wouldn't none of them believe it though (believe it though)

That I would be bigger than Kurtis Blow (Kurtis Blow)

I guess he was right, these are the breaks (breaks)

Despite my mistakes and aches, I'm getting cake

Just to realize your fate through faith (fate through faith)

See 'cause we all gon' get that day (go get that day)

Just to see if our life was straight

And see if we'll be able to walk through the pearly gates (yeah, yeah-yeah)

Just to see the man upstairs

On some real talk, loco, I'm tired of bein' stuck here

Now, if I could, I would just fly to the moon

Y'all probably think I'm trippin' off these mushrooms, I know

You know, sometimes in life

You do have to go through some ups and downs

You know, I'ma sit and talk to my grandfather one time

And he always would tell me

(He said) He said, "Sometimes you gotta take the good with the bad

You got to take the bad with the good

In order to do good, you got to do bad"

And I never understood what he was sayin'

But now, as I go through my hood in my bed, I understand what he was sayin'

Errything is errything
