When I was up by Mnlik Lyrics
[Verse 1: Menelik]
When you up you can look around and see they faces
Bandwagon full of love while you winning the races
Caught up in the moment flashin lights get blinding
While ya movin up the ladder cause love yo rhyming
Or ya stats on hail mary's caught
But maybe its the average on the threes you dropped
Either way above the rest so they tagging along
Ridin ya coat tail hoping you a put them onnn
Get a little revenue they got you covering tabs
From a dollar store trip to a sacks fifth ave
Since they knew as juvenile banging the set
A portion of yo success is what they grew to expect
Like, they the ones responsible for goals you accomplished
Like yo funds supposed to put they kids through college
They got one thang in common thats what they all fear
Yo money maker disabling bet they all disappear I bet
[Verse 2: Menelik]
And when you need em they ain't never around
Hand swipe hittin air cause the help is no where to be found
Don't act foolish and get left in the cold
See the bond between ya two is but a few years old
Came around bout the same time you came up
So when you fall its in they nature for a quick change up
Stay focused keep sharp eyes for users
If at all goes south they gone be yo accusers
But those who was round while you was ballin wit nothing
Genuine as can be thats the end of discussion
They was always down hang when it was nowhere to go
Hit the mall and window shop when it was no dough to blow
But, thats real love so don't ever depart
The ones that want you for the fame on the hunt like sharks
Now do ya best to part from the fake and the phony
Long distance on the road the mission get lonely
When you up you can look around and see they faces
Bandwagon full of love while you winning the races
Caught up in the moment flashin lights get blinding
While ya movin up the ladder cause love yo rhyming
Or ya stats on hail mary's caught
But maybe its the average on the threes you dropped
Either way above the rest so they tagging along
Ridin ya coat tail hoping you a put them onnn
Get a little revenue they got you covering tabs
From a dollar store trip to a sacks fifth ave
Since they knew as juvenile banging the set
A portion of yo success is what they grew to expect
Like, they the ones responsible for goals you accomplished
Like yo funds supposed to put they kids through college
They got one thang in common thats what they all fear
Yo money maker disabling bet they all disappear I bet
[Verse 2: Menelik]
And when you need em they ain't never around
Hand swipe hittin air cause the help is no where to be found
Don't act foolish and get left in the cold
See the bond between ya two is but a few years old
Came around bout the same time you came up
So when you fall its in they nature for a quick change up
