Stay Up by Malachi Grant Lyrics
Stay up - so you’re never down
Verse 1:
Got money in the bank cause a nigga can’t bank on –
Money in a safe – really ain’t safe dog –
Got my chains on – and I’m fly
Every day in the city – like a nigga got a cape on –
Flow Mase – on, Betha – I’m better
Address me without the letters
Spell checking – up in the ghetto
Tell me why would I settle?
When I grind for more –
Achieving more – man, I open doors –
Why you still on that ground floor – ?
You should be up – like 80 floors
Thinking about being up 80 more –
Honestly – I don’t understand you dog
You could have been the man – off top
You can hold me down – ‘cause I’m rising up
Living life – like there ain’t enough
These moments adding up
I thought I told you – to stay up
Chorus:
Kick back and lay low and glow
Fly like an Angel’s halo
I got dreams – I got drive, Man I got to Go
Kick back and lay low and glow
Fly like an Angel’s halo
I got dreams – I got drive, Man I got to Go
Stay up – and up – and up
Stay up – and up – and up
I got dreams – I got drive, Man I got to Go
Stay up – and up – and up
Stay up – and up – and up
I got dreams – I got drive, Man I got to Go
Verse 2:
Could of – should of – would of
Three niggas that never did
Niggas that never lived
You can’t own the company if – ya never bid
I’m outspoken – with words I bid
Gift of gab – I give
I dream with eyes open – not closed eyelids
These suckers can’t dream for shit
Sucka – I used to dream in a pit
Thin air stench thick
With zombies all around – on some scary movie shit
And I been up there – down there
Right there – left there – check man
Can’t nobody stop him
From the 9-1-4 – had to grind -1-4
So keep it a hundo – pass that bullshit like Rondo
Buy the house – motherfucker sell the condo
Quick fast – got to move like pronto
Some niggas – don’t never see tomorrow
When you living for tomorrow
Success – is never enough
Do the math and add it all up
Enjoy the future by being present
Now that’s how you stay up!
Chorus:
Verse 3
Only hope I had was being dope –
Clever enough to make a quote –
Smart enough for honor roll –
Connected – dominos
And I believe in me – I swear
Don’t care what they say out there –
I’m a follow my dreams – I’m a make them come true –
Drive my life go where I want to –
Show up and show out – cause we pulled through
Curve these lames – I ain’t never like fools
Stay up – and link up cause we been cool –
Now we pull up – just to pull up
We – flyer than a bullet
Who – got the juice than pull it
Who – got the jewels than show it
Shine – stayed up now we glowing
Fly – success is not enough
These moments adding up
I thought I told you to Stay up -
