Royce da 5'9" – I've Been Up lyrics

We don't fear death, we fear for yourself
At the... 98 in hip hop...
Couple of dollars, couple of models, couple of bitches niggers under my
Belt
Down nigger, I'ma hold it too, if you hand shake my
Plan b is to complete plan a
... Dissing my... I should get...
Why, why, why,
Would you listen... Me
I brush my shoulders up, polish off
If you pray me...
I put them in the... Paper
Rollercoaster career, focus been real for you
Because it's been weird for me

I feel like
They can take away the car,
They can take away the...
Run back at you at the game take a real...
I've been up, I've been down, I don't give a fuck, yeah
I've been up, I've been down, I don't give a fuck, yeah
I've been up, I've been down, I don't give a fuck, yeah
They can take away the car,
They can take away the...
Run back at you at the game take a real...

I just want mama to be happy
Is that too motherfucking much to ask
... Bitch, can't get a jungle I hate liars
But I fuck with the lion is bitch
If you don't straighten your ass out right now
I will find you and iron you bitch
... Dissing my... I should get...
Why, why, why,

Would you let love make you act like a faggot?
I'm fly
And you act like a maggot
Money comes money goes
I used to work funny clothes,
... My mama...
My real family all I care about...

I feel like
They can take away the car,
They can take away the...
Run back at you at the game take a real...
I've been up, I've been down, I don't give a fuck, yeah
I've been up, I've been down, I don't give a fuck, yeah
I've been up, I've been down, I don't give a fuck, yeah
They can take away the car,
They can take away the...
Run back at you at the game take a real...

And I watch my daddy hit my mama
Listen to my mama trying to calm...
When you gotta go visit your father
You be... As long as I'm getting... Your mama will be sad
... When he got... He was having sick
Cause I was only 11 at the time
And he's been playing sober ever since
He gave me his advice, you got a huge advantage
Long as you know what's... In life
... People treat money like oxygen
When they got it did they get it for granted
But then lose in panic
... I look at him like superman
And y'all niggers ain't even close to me
So if he can fall, so can me

They can take away the car,
They can take away the...
Run back at you at the game take a real...
I've been up, I've been down, I don't give a fuck, yeah
I've been up, I've been down, I don't give a fuck, yeah
I've been up, I've been down, I don't give a fuck, yeah
They can take away the car,
They can take away the...
Run back at you at the game take a real...
