Nowhere To Go

[Verse 1]
Boy, I'm fresh off stage told the doc I can't sleep
Every time I close my eyes feel like it's a waste of time
And then I start to think how I just told my mama
I'ma get her where she wanna be, just a matter of time and
My teachers used to tell me that this rhymin's just a waste of time
So I threw my watch away and praticed perfect timing
I'ma flowin' with these slow schmos who don't know
They 'sposed to be something different, but they cool just being clones
Who know they growin' old, but hoping that white snow
They make believe to move gone get 'em pounds of gold
Instead of hard work and it's cool cause that's more shows for me
Like me me and two times mo
Claimin' other niggas is wack like onomotepdia
Thinkin' I respond, honestly I don't see 'em
They feet ain't even big enough to sport these
Don't worry cause they always feel some type of way like four keys

[Chorus]
Always said I would barely skate by
Well I took that and I just kept on grinding
Fell a few times but the scuffs and burns
Let the world know that it's my turn
Cause I done paid dues like the rest of them
But they done let the game get the best of them
So, I stay on my grind and bet that I'm gone shine
Because I got nowhere to go but up!

[Verse 2]
And I do it for the people, kill it no regal
But the cops say my flow's killin niggas, so lethal
But I ain't shootin' nothin' but the beat down
My tape the only thing you gone hear up in the streets now
Because I spit flame, they finally go heat now
These niggas got no backbone like please take a seat now
Too raw for TV, rappers can't see me
Like they teachers used to tell them say "A,B,D,E"
They be like, "How you get your swag so nice?" and
"How you string lines together like it's cursive writin'?"
I tell em that I'm what the game been missing
Like a jigsaw puzzle piece the end of my reign is distant
Metaphorically sayin' your brain's a pig sty
They told me that my dreams come true when pigs fly
Being the chef I am, I smiled, started creating
Cooked up some fly shit, wake up and smell the bacon, nigga!

[Chorus]
Always said I would barely skate by
Well I took that and I just kept on grinding
Fell a few times but the scuffs and burns
Let the world know that it's my turn
Cause I done paid dues like the rest of them
But they done let the game get the best of them
So, I stay on my grind and bet that I'm gone shine
Because I got nowhere to go but up!
Always said I would barely skate by
Well I took that and I just kept on grinding
Fell a few times but the scuffs and burns
Let the world know that it's my turn
Cause I done paid dues like the rest of them
But they done let the game get the best of them
So, I stay on my grind and bet that I'm gone shine
Because I got nowhere to go but up!

[Outro]
Because I got nowhere to go but up!
Because I got nowhere to go but up!
Because I got nowhere to go but up!
Because I got nowhere to go but up!
