cozmez - Hit em up

In the midst of all of society's bullshit
Place all your bets on our fated rise to the top
I've hit rock bottom before
But no matter where we are now, we still came from the streets

Even in the darkest times when there was no light
I was still dreaming of the view from the top
I've had one foot in the depths of hell
And I still came back from it-- ain't no stoppin' me

Having no idea what real pain is like,
Being an arrogant blowhard,
Just talking shit about being genuine--
That shit's not gonna fly here
Click clack, now step back
If that's how you feel, then too bad
Watch your back or you're already dead
You can't cut it here

Stuck in the cycle of karma,
May this reach the ones who are struggling there
From dreaming on the streets to standing on top as the kings,
We're just too real, baby, we're just too real

All the half-hearted bastards, we gon hit em up
Everyone looking down on us, we gon hit em up
Everyone, get in line, we gon hit em up
We gon, we gon hit em up
We gon, we gon hit em up, yeah

Hit em up, baow baow
Hit em up hit em up, baow baow
[x2]

We'll let the fakes foot the bill now
Pay up, pay up, pay up, aye
We're aiming for higher than just maintaining the status quo
Way up, way up, way up, aye

This story's already underway in the backstreets at six in the morning
Spare me your verses full of empty words about how hard you've got it
If you want my advice: you can't cut it, hit 'em up
You run your mouths about your ideals, but we're still runnin' the block

I'm getting tired of hearing it, you're just whining
Enjoy your cheap friendships, you spoiled brats
We've been drillin', trappin'^[1], yeah
We're going all the way to the top

I've already got it on lock
Your passport to success and to your future as well-- I'll take it all away
My very existence is all the proof I'm ever gonna need
We're just too real, baby, we're just too real

All the half-hearted bastards, we gon hit em up
Everyone looking down on us, we gon hit em up
Everyone, get in line, we gon hit em up
We gon, we gon hit em up
We gon, we gon hit em up, yeah

Hit em up, baow baow
Hit em up hit em up, baow baow

[1] I have a friend who calls this them breaking out the urban dictionary lol. anyway take this with a grain of salt but in case you were wondering these terms, respectively, mean killing or at least kicking the shit out of people in a gang violence sense, and selling drugs. so the subtext of kanata running drugs in ain't no love is just canon now, which i think is fun.
