Ups And DownsKevin Gates

VERSION 1

[Chorus]
Ups and downs, felt all for life and then I came up
Since a child, they been tryin' to get my brains bust
I make mistakes, to God I pray I never changed up
They sit around for shops and try to fuck my name up
Take the energy they give me, keep it pushin'
Don't need to tell a pussy "You not pussy", niggas pussy
Take the energy they give me, keep it pushin'
Don't need to tell a pussy "You not pussy", niggas pussy

[Verse 1]
[...]
Ayy, I been hurt and stabbed
Who put the opps on my spots when you gossip 'bout me? (Bitch)
I'm out my body, nigga, try me, bro gon' blocka-blaow me (Bitch)
Step outside the room and you wishin' the walls could talk
Surrounded by these dudes but you feelin' like something hope
You know you love your bitch but you need a lil' more excitement
You like the dude that shit that could probably get you indicted
I'm sloppin' off an island, shovin' dick in her body
In the trap with a strap while you juggin' narcotics

[Chorus]
Ups and downs, felt all for life and then I came up
Since a child, they been tryin' to get my brains bust
I make mistakes, to God I pray I never changed up
They sit around for shops and try to fuck my name up
Take the energy they give me, keep it pushin'
Don't need to tell a pussy "You not pussy", niggas pussy
Take the energy they give me, keep it pushin'
Don't need to tell a pussy "You not pussy", niggas pussy

[Verse 2]
Ups and downs, felt all for life and then I came up
Got my chain jumpin', jumped inside a Range truck
Black on black, might have two-fifty, [?]
Windows tinted, slip through in it, you can't see on it (Come on)
Change perspective, life a blessing, I'm just reminiscin' (For real)
This year, I would've blew my brains out at any minute
Shoutout to the ugly hoes, love it when I floss
Shoutout, all of them a loss, caught up in a tug of war
People I had helped, they won't put us in my thoughts
Prepare the table for me, cut from a different cloth
You cut up, it's gon' cost, you get stripes from a junkie
Marcus payin' Flunkus to go and murder a flunky
You know you reap what you show, that shit cold
Yeah, we the [?], I just had to touch the stove
When you go inside the freezer, ice cubes smell like cologne
That mean someone was at your house when you was not at home

[Outro]
Man, I swear to God
You get out of line, I'ma put your lane up, you heard me?
You know what I'm sayin'?
Y'all done been around me, y'all done been in a car with me
Love my swag, love how I talk
Mad rivers demeanour, everything
Yeah, man
Come on, y'all know I keep that Godfather
[?], I pull up solo by myself
I'ma put you up in this bitch, mane
[?] if he talkin', dick

VERSION 2

[Chorus]
If you my nigga, then we family
I'm with you, right or wrong, ain't no understanding, no
After bein' betrayed, I learned to stand alone
[?] tickets are leechin' off you and not standin' on they own
And I remember sayin' through the ups and downs
Struggled through the pain, made it all fade out
And now you walk around with a sad face, nah
But you the reason it was you outta line

[Verse 1]
I used to want to be just like you, had the same tattoos
You had a problem, that's my problem, we receive bad news
You went upstate, I went upstate, we held this down in a unit
Taught me how to step, showed the game, someone confuse 'em
Takin' vacations outta state, what a [?]
It's like you had your own swag and to me you the coolest
Layed the murder games down, when we livin', they shoot me
Buyin' coke together, flippin' it, cocaine distribution
Money up, I'm goin' dumb, sacrifice 'em for music
Givin' me them still looks when I went shopping at Louis
You had them brakes and didn't stab your man 'cause you went through it
Tried to help you, but you're selfish, ain't my fault that you stupid (Yeah)

[Chorus]
If you my nigga, then we family
I'm with you, right or wrong, ain't no understanding, no
After bein' betrayed, I learned to stand alone
[?] tickets are leechin' off you and not standin' on they own
And I remember sayin' through the ups and downs
Struggled through the pain, made it all fade out
And now you walk around with a sad face, nah
But you the reason it was you outta line

[Verse 2]
He talkin' bad behind my back while in the spot I provided (Huh?)
Year and a half later, damn, bitch, look how we rockin' (Damn)
No ambition, neck and hustle, tryin' to dig in my pockets
Pop it off, you fuck it up as if there's no way around it (What the fuck?)
Niggas sell they soul, a show-out for a ho, what's the option? (For real)
I kept you fresh, bought you everything in your closet
Runnin' up a check, standard, tryin' to double my profit
Flippin' hoes every night, your bitch my bitch
It's a cult to this shit and real men don't switch
Even your mother tellin' me that she not knowin' her son
Let some fame come in the picture, watch who people become
Let some fame come in the picture, watch who people become

[Chorus]
If you my nigga, then we family
I'm with you, right or wrong, ain't no understanding, no
After bein' betrayed, I learned to stand alone
[?] tickets are leechin' off you and not standin' on they own
And I remember sayin' through the ups and downs
Struggled through the pain, made it all fade out
And now you walk around with a sad face, nah
But you the reason it was you outta line
