stay up

[Intro] Yeah, uh Look, look [Verse 1] I been movin' silent, plottin' every damn move They ain't notice nothin', thought I had shit to prove Kept my circle tight, cut the fake ones loose Nobody believed, that's the fuckin' truth Built this from the ground, no handouts, no backup Hunger in my gut, yeah, I had to act up Late nights, empty pockets, vision never matched up To what they thought I'd be, now I'm cashin' checks up Doubted every step, questioned if I'm really real Now they checkin' in, askin' how it feel Switched up on 'em quick, never signed no deal Made my own damn lane, kept my hands on the wheel [Chorus] They was sleep on me, now they stay up They was sleep on me, now they stay up [Verse 2] Barely ate some nights, scrapin' every penny Told myself I'd make it out, couldn't take no pity They was laughin' then, now they actin' friendly Fake love everywhere, this shit gettin' tricky Grinded through the pain, tears on the pavement Turned that hurt to fuel, built my own foundation No one gave a fuck when I needed savin' Now they all around like I owe 'em payment Keep my head up high, middle finger to the doubt They ignored the work, now they see what I'm about Screamed into the void, finally heard me shout Bet against myself? Nah, I'm cashin' out [Chorus] They was sleep on me, now they stay up They was sleep on me, now they stay up [Bridge] (They stay up) Yeah, they watchin' now (They stay up) Can't ignore this sound [Verse 3] Look, I made it out the darkness, did it on my own terms They was cold as hell, now they wanna show concern Tables turned quick, guess they finally learned Respect ain't given free, that shit gotta be earned Came from havin' nothin', built an empire up They was pourin' hate, I was fillin' my cup Now the whole damn world wanna know what's up Used to be invisible, now I'm visible as fuck Never needed validation from the ones who slept Kept my promises, paid every single debt Proved 'em all wrong, got no regrets They was sleep on me, but I'm wide awake, bet [Chorus] They was sleep on me, now they stay up They was sleep on me, now they stay up They was sleep on me, now they stay up They was sleep on me, now they stay up [Outro] Yeah, they stay up now They stay up, uh
