[Verse 1]
I made it into school without a student loan
I made a promise I would leave the weed alone
Smoking would put me in the danger zone
I quit so I could quit the bullsh** I was on
But the temper didn't last me long
Had I known I wudda never asked to come along (Dead wrong)
Party and bullsh** was a better song
Pour the shots of liquor and ignite the bong
I was an addict for the mathematics
Started to miss cla**, but still managed to pa** it
Light a blunt, pa** it
Never missed that sh** (Nope)
Sessions over cla**, priority a** backwards
Ended the semester with a 3.5
What'd I do? Got drunk, got high
Never realizing the consequences of such a harmless
Recreational drug use could lead to
So much damage
[Verse 2]
Yeah I'm optimistic
Yeah I went to Marquette
Ended up dropping out
School wasn't my subject
So I just said "f** it"
Kept on holding the ganj' above it
Smoking 24/7, I loved it
Young and restless n***a surrounded by success
And I guess I figured it'd happen to me next
Vexed...you only get what you put in
Which means I got what I deserved
And that was nothing for the win
Blowing dro into the wind
Up up and out, I gotta calm down
Up up and out, don't wanna come down
Gotta spark up as I descend to the ground
In this world I am a clown
Up up and out, now I wear a crown
Up up and out, don't wanna come down
Confrontation begins as I descend to the ground
Singing...
[Verse 3]
Blinded by the high
I just wanted to get higher
Primo blunts made the cut
Snort bumps to get me wired
Inspired my tired and washed up figures
Bragging 'bout being pill popping animals
Syrup sipping n***as
Molly, ecstasy, xanny,and schrooms
Abusing any medication leading to sedation
Spinning rooms gave me a sensation
That I had nothing to lose
Kicking it with people that were easily amused, uh
Not to diss the few that stuck around during my lows
Or fans I had before I changed my enigmatic flows
I was going through some sh** I hope some of you know
Paranoia and depression because of my nose
That's the lifestyle that a n***a chose
I did't choose to get her pregnant
With no f**ing kid
Little did I know it was a blessing in disguise
My little girl was the reason for daddy's betterment
[Verse 4]
Going on 2 years strong, I've sobered up
No more smoking weed, pill popping, and snorting up
All pure will, cold turkey, Amy Winehouse would be proud
I didn't wanna go to rehab
I relax and sip a rum and soda, never fearing a relapse
I exorcised some demons that I don't want back
My new addiction is family and music, family and music
I even changed the alias to show that
Spitting flows into the wind
Up up and out, I gotta calm down
Up up and out, I gotta calm down
Things are looking up as I ascend from the ground
In this world I wear a crown
Up up and out, don't wanna come down
Up up and out, don't wanna come down
Absolution begins as I ascend from the ground
Singing...
