Level up [Verse] Broke nights turnin' into paid days Hustlin' hard, watch the money waves Block talk cheap, we don't play them games Real ones know we ain't stayin' the same Grind mode on, can't fake this flame skee nights lit, we claimin' our name Haters hate, but we stayin' the same Level up, this the name of the game Chorus] Level up, keep that shit movin' fast Haters talk, but we leave they ass last Started from bottom, now we livin' this lifestyle Always on the up level, we ain't slowin' down [Verse 2] Old homies stuck in the same cycle, jealous when they see the glow-up I was in the trap prayin' for a way out, now the same streets show love Turned a couple bricks into a blueprint, watch the whole block tryna follow Lost some real ones on the way up, but their names still tattooed in the sorrow Now the labels knockin', but we independent, built this shit from the concrete Every loss turned lesson, every scar a story, every win feelin' sweet From the east side blocks to the west coast stages, we still the same crew Level up or get left, that's the only rule, either you gon' eat or you through Chorus] Level up, keep that shit movin' fast Haters talk, but we leave they ass last Started from bottom, now we livin' this lifestyle Always on the up level, we ain't slowin' down [Verse 3] Courtroom days, we beat the odds, the DA tried to bury the proof Came out swingin', pockets heavy, now the same judge askin' for proof Lost faith in the system, so we made our own, turned nothin' into truth Now the city lights flash when we roll through, tinted windows, bulletproof Success bitter when the ones you love don't make it to see the view Still pour liquor for the fallen, still clutch the iron just in case it get blue Every move calculated, every dollar counted, every night feel like déjà vu Level up or get leveled, that's the code we live by, this the life we chose, fool
