Cohlman - Come Up Lyrics

No matter how many people tell me
"Stop believing in yourself, stop saying what you can do
Stop affirming what you're gonna do"
And then, and then completing that in real life
That's the improper way to do it
I refuse to follow those rules that society has set up
And the way that they control people with low self-esteem
With improper information, with branding, with marketing
I refuse to follow those rules

I been asking questions bout my life
I don't know what I am doing
I don't know if this is right
But I'm trusting what's in hand for me
A bigger plan than man can see
A big unopened book
With lots of pages that a man can't read
I don't yet know my purpose, but just give it time
That's what they say will heal the wounds, but why can't I find mine?
There's a difference between forever gone and out of sight
So think about that when you think a problem's finally left the light
I don't know where my mind's at
Imma feast, wait yeah I'll define that
That'll mean imma work hard and I'll grind at
This whole thing til I got a line imma sign at (Ah)
I do not need any reviews
I don't need feedback from anyone new
Input ignored if you ain't the crew
Yeah, input ignored if you ain't in my crew
I used to care what they thought
But now I live life for me
It's only goals that I sought
And that's a fact tho
Judge me please, off how I act tho
Appearance don't mean nothing
A worm could still be in the apple
That's real

And the only luxury is time
The time you spend with your family
That's the only luxury to this concept of luxury is, is improper to me

I'm manifesting my own path to success
Nobody wanted this
They wanted me in class at a desk
I think I'll pass on that
I don't wanna end up like the rest
Working a 9-5 and going home with checks, but depressed (Oh lord)
I'll confess tho
I gotta fix my mental
I gotta do this on my own
So pedal to the metal
Ain't no stopping now I will not settle, my pencil
Always being real tho I know that is too essential

Five thousand dollars on this bag
Ten thousand dollars on this
To kinda say exactly what I said before
"Oh we're better than you, we're this than you"
I mean taste, culture, art, you know just the quality of life

I'm so blessed to have what I have
Mission accomplished, Jimmy Neutron on the scene we gotta blast
Then it's game over, controller unplugged, ain't running after bags
I'm running after dreams and imma continue, I'm running fast
Okay, like Usain Bolt
I don't know
If I should change up my flow
I'm going fast or I'm going slow
And I ain't ever made honor roll, but I'm on a roll
Yo, woulda never known
If you told me three years ago
That I would rap, write lines, and go to shows?
Nah, I'm shocked I got this far and so (Uh)
Passion possessed like sickness and it runs through me
Going through my veins and it keeps on making me hungry
Hungry for more, I don't quit and that's for sure
At the end of every day I bow my head and ask the Lord
Like watcha doin?
My destiny is movin'
All I gotta do is use it
The gifts I got imma use em'
But can't cling to things that will keep me from getting way up to the top
And after this drops
I guarantee I ain't gonna stop, oh no
