Drumma Battalion - Hands Up lyrics

(Drumma Battalion) [Hook] I told myself I don't need no help I can do this all on my own Just give me time, cause I'm gon' shine As soon as I'm in my zone (I'm in my zone) [Hook Pt.2] You thought I'd fail but I prevailed I guess that I proved you wrong So the next time I cross your mind, or when you hear my song Put your hands up! [Verse 1: Abstract] Watchin' MTV, dreaming 'bout a cypher up on BET Tell my mom that's me, sit in VIP A-Team worldwide, 'till I D-I-E Cause T-H-E-Y never believed in I Trying to belittle my riddles and bring me down they tried Always knew I'd rise, if I justt stuck to my mind They trying to see if I'm strong enough Kept my weapons inside Kept honesty on my tongue, kept that smoke in my lungs This ain't 2008, my family lacking in funds Trying to go out and get it, and put you back where it was And I know I could do it thousands be showin' me love Life tried to change me, arrange me, erase me from who I am Always been a creator, if I make it this was the plan Life fell apart so my future could fall together Shoutout to my broken heart, who knew you would make me better [Hook] [Verse 2: Abstract] Swear I'm trying to get a grammy, dedicated to my granny Just so this could make a little sense to my family Explaining what my plan is they got trouble understanding Explaining what I do got me explaining the internet So you give this out for free, son you should be cashing checks Ain't that simple this the world that digital, datpiffable Get a fanbase behind you it could be pivotal These days music has never been more competitive Compare me to myself, cause I don't f** with comparisons You wanna be the next what? Find that sh** embarra**ing, aim to be the best you That's what all the legends did Shoutout to Dylan, John Lennon, Kurt, Big, Pac and Hendrix Nas, Em, Ye, Jay, all I didn't mention There's a long road but I'm fightin' for the top Hope to one day be included in those names I dropped [Hook 2x]
