On Up

Key Wane

Ayy

I wanna dedicate this one to my son, Noah Hasani

Daddy love you, boy

Yeah

And everybody just working through what they working through

You know what I'm saying?

Everybody making the best of what they got

Ayy, ayy, look

I know some OGs always working but they never paid

Finding their way, but shit, it gotta be a better way

The older that I get, I'm feeling the resemblance

I look into my son's eyes and still see his innocence

I see my inner child in him, and still the remnants

Will he lose it to the world as an eminent?

Or is it something that me and his mama had instilled in him?

And the confidence you lose, you can build again

He only nine months, barely sitting up

He almost fell over, I caught him and told him (get on up)

I'm only making plays now to pass it on

One day my baby gon' have babies and I'm gon' be gone

The way time moving, it really won't be long

I pray I'm there for every memory you want me on

I gotta teach him that it's more than a rat race

More than a cash chase, and if you chase cash

That just means that it's running away

Instead of turning what you love into a company

And watch the money come to me

My, what has the world done to me?

Judging people off of how they look, not what they done for me

Don't assume it's number three of the four agreements

I gotta start applying everything that I been reading

It seem like the tragedy of losing kids'll never come

I think about Trayvon, Breon-, my neighbor Deshaun

Praying for protection for my family

And that He keep his hands on me to fight through this insanity

I lay down, tryna figure out the rest

Close my eyes; picture Heaven, and it's where I'm at

Gotta get on up (get up)

Oh, no-oh, no

Gotta get on up (get on up now)

You can't sit down (gotta get on up)

Oh, no-oh, no (gotta get on up now)

You can't sit down (no, no-oh)

Gotta get on up (ooh, no, no)

Gotta get on up (get on up now)

You can't sit down (yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)

Gotta get on up

You can't sit down, gotta get on up (gotta get on up now)

Oh-oh (you can't sit down)

Gotta get on up now-ow (gotta get on up)

Ooh (ooh, gotta get on up now)

What is that?

Da-da

Dada?
