Amp Adams Aka Double A - Up Lyrics

What's up this whole thangs about up
Double A
Man I'm talk'n 'bout
Amp Adams
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's your man Double A
What up
One mo' time
Get at your bbooyyyy

I'm just go'n ugh, explain it to you
Did I say Double A
Just like, like this

I went up to the "Chi-thezzle" on a business trip
Rode thru downtown, then, got around town
Uunnnggghh Hhuunnngghh
Hollered at my people
What up loc
All over the city
That's my dude
Went and stayed with Atif
He make that canvas look pretty
Soo pretty
Pondered the meaning of life while eat'n on some vittals
Thank you Dell
My homegirl, from Gary, Courtney Franklin, good at riddles
I digress, while living
Sometimes I stop
And just be surviving
Was it innate, or was it taught
And who was the teacher
And why was it soo prominently featured
Did I pass, or did I fail, even by taking this class
It all in one thing
Two letters U-P
Up, up, up
And that spells up
And that's the word for mmmmeeee

Get up out this rut
Mo' is callin' your name
Calling ya mane
Down got a homie, and his name is shame
Just survive, is not your calling
Don't think that it is
Even if the "wonder bracelets" know who you is
Get up out this rut
Mo' is callin' your name
Calling ya mane
Down got a homie, and his name is shame
Just survive, is not your calling
Don't think that it is
Even if the "wonder bracelets" know who you is

Oh, so you think you got a excuse to stay down
Yeah, I know you
What... down don't need no help
You don't come from that
It's not in your DNA
We built nations on this
You come from the down trodden
Counted out
Those that ain't supposed to be here
Get up Girl Scout
Ungh

I was going thru a trying time
It was doing me in
Contracts falling off
Forclosure, I'm in
Four acres, and a house, in the city
Neighbors got millions
I'm broker than angh joke
And this ain't funny
No pretendin'
And to top it all off, I'm getting a divorce
I 'on't want chu no mo'
it's like, the little house on the prairy, done just got scorched
Burn, baby burn
Had to move, downsize, though, see that's not a bad phrase
When I realized, I had more money, with more time saved
But before that
I'm in the dark
The curtains were pulled closed
Carbo spoke the words, only a true friend would know
If you don't up from here, she should've left you fast
I say, what you say
He went on and than repeated that
I say, and they made sense
Somebody else would've got popped
Bam, boom
See, it was soo precise
A great outlook on life unlocked
Stop the bleeding
Start the breathing
Protect the wound
Threat for shock
I went to the restaurant and started eatin'
That's up pops
The rest is history and we still on the write
I can't tell you it ain't go'n hurt, but see, it's go'n be ahh ight
Oh, you real convincing

Get up out this rut
Mo' is callin' your name
Calling ya mane
Down got a homie, and his name is shame
Just survive, is not your calling
Don't think that it is
Even if the "wonder bracelets" know who you is
Get up out this rut
Mo' is callin' your name
Calling ya mane
Down got a homie, and his name is shame
Just survive, is not your calling
Don't think that it is
Even if the "wonder bracelets" know who you is

Oh, so you think you got a excuse to stay down
Yeah, I know you
What... down don't need no help
You don't come from that
It's not in your DNA
We built nations on this
You come from the down trodden
Counted out
Those that ain't supposed to be here
Get up Girl Scout
Ungh

I'm tryin' to do in three verses
What it took a while to learn
I'm mone, need y'all help
You gone have to stand firm
The monsters in your way, 'bout to understand losin'
Like when I get to break dancin', and pony dance when I'm through
They get confuuussseeddd
How'd the biggon get skills
Must've gone to a game show, where they spinning them wheels
Shawn Pleas used to say
It's all in the Red Clay
Like Hugh Humdinga
Y'all my team ehh day
And I'll ride for ya
Like the Buffalo Soldiers
And the Native Americans
See the legacy ain't over
It's a whole lot of drama
Learn to laugh
And read the fine print
That's where they get cha at

Get up out this rut
Mo' is callin' your name
Calling ya mane
Down got a homie, and his name is shame
Just survive, is not your calling
Don't think that it is
Even if the "wonder bracelets" know who you is
Get up out this rut
Mo' is callin' your name
Calling ya mane
Down got a homie, and his name is shame
Just survive, is not your calling
Don't think that it is
Even if the "wonder bracelets" know who you is

Oh, so you think you got a excuse to stay down
Yeah, I know you
What... down don't need no help
You don't come from that
It's not in your DNA
We built nations on this
You come from the down trodden
Counted out
Those that ain't supposed to be here
Get up Girl Scout
Ungh
