Show Up

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah [Verse 1] I been in and out of pocket like a wallet I only come out when it's time to pay The grinder's wage, the cost of every line I say Appreciates with time, it's like a stock or a bond I save And if words were dollars, I'd be rich, but they ain't And if thought or scholarship was dope, I'd be dank If the smoke was the pain that I feel from all the hopelessness, shame From the wokeness I gained, you could roll me up and toke me away Shit, I just been tryna find a groove with it, yeah In my slippers on the stoop sittin' New chick got me stiffer than a new fitted Told her you an escape for me and she was cool with it And I don't wanna need, need, need my vices I just wanna free my mind (Yeah, yeah) But if I'm gon' believe my life is mine (Yeah) Baby, I'm gon' have to redefine [Chorus] My mama told me one thing about you, baby Is that you always show up when it's time But I been takin' L's all month I been win-free, I'm feelin' like Oprah I'm on my grind, though, and if I fuck it up, fuck it If I fuck it up, fuck it (Fuck it) 'Cause when it's time to show up I'ma show up (Yeah) Sure enough, baby, matter of time, matter of time [Verse 2] And if I fuck it up, fuck it, at least I wasn't a puppet I'm warrin' with the money like Buffet I don't wanna need or want it, I ain't budgin' for your budget That's a luxury of luck, it's a lot of folks out here starvin' I pour my OJ in a glass, I said, "Mom What if I do my best and it don't last?" I said, "Mom What if I'm to crass or too passive or blasphemous? Or if I get too nervous to act?" She said, "Yo, hold on You forever been different When you ain't in the room, baby, the elephant's missin' When it's your time to go, you in your element They forever been tellin' Craft to leave, but somehow every diss miss him You got that type of strength that look like weakness to the untrained eye But you gon' be above these feelings, baby, one day, I Know you don't need 'em when the lights go on Now man the fuck up and go write your song," one time like [Chorus] My mama told me one thing about you, baby Is that you always show up when it's time But I been takin' L's all month I been win-free, I'm feelin' like Oprah I'm on my grind, though, and if I fuck it up, fuck it If I fuck it up, fuck it (Fuck it) 'Cause when it's time to show up I'ma show up Sure enough, baby, matter of time, matter of time
