I met this lady at church the other day
She told me she's 77 and still wakes up at 5 a.m. to go to work because she has to pay
Her bills
She told me that's not even the hardest part
The hardest part is getting up, but once you get up, you already completed half of the
Battle
Just get up
Just get up
That's all you gotta do
Just get up
Aye, sometimes I'm an artist, sometimes I'm CEO
I'm just a youngin' tryna' get my grown man on
Cruise my city wonderin' if I'ma make it
Substitute the lazy for dedication
I told myself I gotta get up
Ain't got no time to waste
I told myself I gotta get up
Can't let nobody play me
I told myself I gotta get up
Learn from my mistakes
I told myself I gotta get up
Boy, you know you great
Young Steezy Lo
Godson Steezy
Yeah, I'm from the 4 (aye)
Hope it look easy
But it ain't
Man, I gotta paint the picture vivid
Cause I was down bad, aye
Gotta reminisce it
Late nights in the room thinkin' bout' Murkin'
Late nights in the room when my mama hurting
Reminiscing back then
I wasn't certain
But I know I'm certain to make it, aye
Gotta keep workin'
Thank God for the test
Thank God I'm on right
Some people left, they failed the test, aye
No, I'm not the best
Young Steezy Lo don't even flex, aye
Keep it real for the real I gotta represent
Time is money when you working
Valuable when you have it
Can't waste no time
No, that's a bad habit
That's a bad habit, aye
Feelin' gifted and I'm lifted
Feel it in my spirit, I'm gon' get it
Sometimes I'm an artist
Sometimes I'm CEO
I'm just a youngin' tryna' get my grown man on
Cruise my city wonderin' if I'ma make it
Substitute the lazy for dedication
I told myself I gotta get up
Ain't got no time to waste
I told myself I gotta get up
Can't let nobody blame me
I told myself I gotta get up
Learn from my mistakes
I told myself I gotta get up
Boy, you know you great
I been trill, so I say what I wanna say
People be changin' like the seasons, so I stay away
Every time I get lazy, I be thinking bout that lady, dawg
Can't let em' see me sweat
I be quick to wipe it off
Ain't lookin' back no more
Upgrade from the bronze need straight gold, aye
Next show, I perform at
You know I need some dough at the doormat, aye
I walk in and turnt up just to get mad love
Was a blessing
Young Steezy lowkey
I ain't stressin'
Gotta mark a hunnit' bands off my checklist
I need blessings
God delivered me from weapons
Remember goin' to school with weapons
Now it's a whole lot better, aye
Cause I was so paranoid
I ain't know who to trust
Pressure bust pipes, don't it
Run up you'll get bussed
But now I'm coolin'
That coulda cost me
Everything takes patience
Ambition to get it
Know some people hungry
And I'm still hungry, aye
Aye
Wakin' up in the morning
Sometimes im an artist
Sometimes I'm CEO
I'm just a youngin'
Tryna' get my grown man on
Cruise my city wonderin' if I'ma make it
Substitute the lazy for dedication
I told myself I gotta get up
Ain't got no time to waste
I told myself I gotta get up
Can't let nobody play me
I told myself I gotta get up
Learn from my mistakes
I told myself I gotta get up
Boy you know you great
