Mud Up

Verse 1

Woke up in a basement with a notebook and a pen

Every bar I jot is like a sermon for the lost

Started with a dollar and a hunger in my chest

Now they cross the river just to hear me talk my talk

Pre-Chorus

No co-sign no shortcut

No handshake no luck

I built this from the mud up

So watch me rise above it

Chorus

I'm a rap god on this microphone

I'm a rap god watch me hold my own

Every syllable I spit is carved in stone

I'm a rap god I don't need a throne

Post-Chorus

Yeah yeah

Uh-huh

Yeah yeah

Watch me go

Verse 2

Critics threw their stones but I stacked them like a wall

Teachers said I'd fail now they dialing up my phone

Sleepless nights and ramen got me sharpening my craft

Somewhere in the struggle I became a different man

Pre-Chorus

No co-sign no shortcut

No handshake no luck

I built this from the mud up

So watch me rise above it

Chorus

I'm a rap god on this microphone

I'm a rap god watch me hold my own

Every syllable I spit is carved in stone

I'm a rap god I don't need a throne

Post-Chorus

Yeah yeah

Uh-huh

Yeah yeah

Watch me go

Bridge

Flowing like a river through the concrete of the city

Penny for my thoughts now my thoughts are worth a milli

Came from nothing now the something's getting bigger

Say my name and watch the whole room shiver

Chorus

I'm a rap god on this microphone

I'm a rap god watch me hold my own

Every syllable I spit is carved in stone

I'm a rap god I don't need a throne

Post-Chorus

Yeah yeah

Uh-huh

Yeah yeah

Watch me go
