C5 - Straight Up lyrics

[Hook] I had to grind to get my weight up I can't see you boys cause I'm way up Told her I don't got no time to lay up I don't sugar coat sh** I tell you Straight Up Like you a f** n***a Straight Up And I don't f** with you Straight Up Yeah, I had to grind to get my weight up If they ask you where I'm going tell them Straight Up [Verse] I used to call she used to hit ignore I used to move that dope in front of Williams store When I had the aux cord they ain't wanna hear the boy Now I got a flow that the labels probably k** you for I act first then I ask questions Long strides on them we don't do no half stepping She say I got good s** but I'm a bad texter But you know how I play it, business first and that's second Damn 5 you a fool I can't lie I'm the truth I'm A.I. if I hoop Cause I never played by the rules Ain't PIRU but I'm bool And they can't walk in my shoes Cause I don't talk I JUST DO IT And I have not made it yet but I am on the way It's Only Up, that's the only way Golden child from the Golden State I'm so stuck in my Oakland ways We are not friends we a**ociate Cause n***as be telling first 48 Word to Kendrick, word to Drake Word to J.Cole, C5 on the way I'm the best on the West Coast n***as like thats bold to say But what the f** I'm supposed to say When I know I'm great I ain't throwing shade I'm just shining light on it for the record When I hit it, only time I'm coming second I can go for hours even unprotected God damn that was unexpected, oops Ooh damn 5 damn, ain't know I spit like that Don't wanna take it to the streets but it can get like that On 59th & Shattuck Ave where I came up I'll show you how I got that 5 in my name, Straight Up [Hook] I had to grind to get my weight up I can't see you boys cause I'm way up Told her I ain't got no time to lay up I don't sugar coat sh**, I tell you straight up Like you a f** n***a straight up And I don't f** with you straight up Yeah, I had to grind to get my weight up If they ask you where I'm going tell em Straight Up [Verse 2] If they ask you where I'm going just go head and point them up Yeah I know they call me 5 but like C4 I'm blowing up I got bills that need be paid, I can't do nothing on the love Made exceptions in the past but that was only for my blood Circle shrinking as I'm growing up Girl just know that I'm old enough She say I'm a baby but she still gonna open up Ride me like an '88 k** them with the baby face Then I gotta slide cause they always show they're crazy ways She say "You too busy with yo goals" But tell me what you want, me be busy or be broke? Ever since i cuffed you, you be trying to do the most So I'ma get a side just to keep you on yo toes, Straight Up [Hook] I had to grind to get my weight up I can't see you boys cause I'm way up Told her I ain't got no time to lay up I don't sugar coat sh**, I tell you straight up Like you a f** n***a straight up And I don't f** with you straight up Yeah, I had to grind to get my weight up If they ask you where I'm going tell em Straight Up
