Lift Me Up lyrics

Right now

Hey

Hey, I'm just a nigga until I fill my pockets

And then I'm Mr. Nigga, they follow me while shopping (Uh-huh)

I feel like Mick and Richards, they feel like Muddy Waters (Uh-huh)

So tell me what's the difference, so tell me what's the difference

My momma was a Christian, Crip-walking on blue waters

Was fading up to Davis, then walking back to Palmer

A fro like Huey partner, Auntie Angie had them choppers (Uh-huh)

So tell me what's the difference, so tell me what's the difference (All right)

I feel like, "Fuck Versace", they raping nigga's pockets

And we don't get acknowledged, just thank me for the profit

A prophet just like Moses, if Moses look like Shaka

Zulu, my .44 loaded, I'm aiming at Nirvana (Nirvana)

My bitch look like Madonna ('Donna), they staring at katana

Waiter still ain't brought the chopsticks, should have brought the chopper

Uber driver in the cockpit look like Jeffrey Dahmer

But he looking at me crazy when we pull up to the projects

See, this weight is on my shoulders, pray Jehovah, lift me up

And my pain is never over, pills and potions, fix me up

I just want to live it up, can a motherfucker breathe

Life ain't always what it seems, so please (Hey)

Just lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up

Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up

Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up

Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up

(Say, man)

We love our neighborhood, so all my brothers bang the hood

I never vote for presidents, the presidents that changed the hood

Is dead and green, was standing on this mezzanine in Paris, France

Finna spaz 'cause most my homies never finna get this chance

All these white folks chanting when I asked 'em, "Where my niggas at?"(Uh-huh)

Going crazy, got me going crazy, I can't get with that

Wonder if they know, I know they won't go where we kick it at

Ho, this shit ain't Gryffindor, we really killing, kicking doors (Hey)

Fight between my conscience, and the skin that's on my body

Man, I need to fight the power, but I need that new Ferrari

Man, I breathe and bleed this, Poppy Street

I shot them guns 'cause talk is cheap

Bow your head and pray, okay, now walk with me (You know it)

See, this weight is on my shoulders, pray Jehovah, lift me up

And my pain is never over, pills and potions, fix me up

I just want to live it up, can a motherfucker breathe (Can a motherfucker breathe)

Life ain't always what it seems, so please (Hey)

Just lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up

Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up

Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up

Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up, lift me up

Lift me up, lift me, lift me up

Lift me, lift me up, lift me, lift me up

Lift me, lift me, lift me, lift me, lift me, lift me up

Lift me, lift me up, lift me, lift me up
