[Intro: Devvon Terrell & Hi-Rez]
Nothing in this life was easy, I found that the hard way
But one day I don't wanna be me, I can't wait to say, "I'm up"
Haha, Rez
I'm up
Check-check, haha

[Verse 1: Hi-Rez]
Hey, back against the wall, money tight, everything ain't alright
Family in the hospital, struggle tryna sleep at night
All my life are get this shit done, never fucking said it
Mama crying, granny crying
Time to get it, wearing the same pair of shoes for two years
Made me humble, I'm a lion to these fucking naive toward
I'm in a jungle, every single day I fight for my life
Now that's a struggle, ain't got no one on my team
It's just me and my huddle, I've been losing sleep
Skipping meals just to pay the bills
If you ever get this children, ya'll know how this shit feels
Turn into prescription bills, just to relax
Times that I would rather be dead, I swear that effects
Uh, lacing up my chucks, going hard on my payment
A 100 million thoughts in my hand and I ain't say shit
Mind trapped behind bars, I'm mentally a slave
With this bond that I created from this dream that I'm chasing, gone (And gone)
[Chorus : Devvon Terrell]
Nothing in this life was easy, I found that the hard way (Way)
But one day I don't wanna be me, I can't wait to say I'm up (Yeah)
I know nothing in this life is free, no, I gotta go get it (I'm up)
Nothing that you really want is cheap, so I just spend enough and finally get up
I'm up now, up now, up now (I'm up)
I'm up now, up now, up now

[Verse 2: Hi-Rez]
Swear I've been getting impatient
Time to fucking make it feel like the room getting smaller
And my chest fucking cave in, and got no time to be writing on the next man
You ain't got no invision and drive
I ain't calling you a friend, man
I know what it's like to go crazy in the head, man
Struggle hard, hustle hard till I'm dead man
While everyone I know getting drunk doing cake stands
Me, I make a fucking psychotic, come take your med's man
Fuck being normal and fitting in I'ma stand out
Feel the pressure building up and I know it's my chance now
Even if I was drowning or swimming out, man down
Never in my life would I dream of taking a handout
Trust, ain't a thing, used to be a nice guy
Now I'm living life once spitting twice shy
Pop's working overtime that's why I write rhyme's
Used to eat canned food now shrimp steak and white wine
[Chorus : Devvon Terrell]
Nothing in this life was easy, I found that the hard way (Way)
But one day I don't wanna be me, I can't wait to say I'm up (Yeah)
I know nothing in this life is free, no, I gotta go get it (I'm up)
Nothing that you really want is cheap, so I'm just spending and finally get up
I'm up now, up now, up now (I'm up)
I'm up now, up now, up now
I'm up, I'm up, I'm up, I'm up, I'm-I'm up
