Z-Tec - I Was Down Lyrics

(I was down, I was down, I was down, I was down, I was down)
(I was down, I was down, I was down, I was down, I was down)

I was down but I'm up, I'm up, I'm up, I'm up
I was down but I'm up, I'm up, I'm up, I'm up
I was down, I was down, I was down, I was down but now I'm up

I've been kicked down to the floor and got beat
Been shoved the corner, I was forced to show my teeth
Everybody wanna pick on the jit
And when the jit took shots god damit he missed, but he

Never tapped out,
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Never opted out
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Never cried and quit
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Was down but I'm up
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

So high school days I would make conversations
To seek a little validation so I can make some relations
And yes, I was hella patient, I gave it some shots
The only shots I got back was "Frankie you blocked" (ugh)

I turned my back against the world
Faced my chest towards the music
Told myself that I can do it
First bars, and I blew it

First bars I blew
Second bars came a little cleaner out the blue

(Was down but now I'm creeping up)
(Now I'm creeping up)
(Now, now I'm creeping up)
(Was down but now I'm creeping up)
(Now I'm creeping up)
(Now, now I'm creeping up, yuh yuh)

I was down but I'm up, I'm up, I'm up, I'm up
I was down but I'm up, I'm up, I'm up, I'm up
I was down, I was down, I was down, I was down but now I'm up

I told everybody bout my 4K vision
Told everybody this more than intuition
Acquaintances said I was trash
They claimed "it's not 4K its 480p down bad"

But you don't feel what I feel
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
You don't see what I see
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
On my momma I don't bluff
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
I was down
But I'm up, I'm up, I'm up, I'm up

I'm 26 bout to cop me a crib
I got 8 on my neck, I'm putting 6 on my wrist
I got my wifey by my left, on the right my kid
Everything you've dreamt of homie I already did (heh)

That's sad no cap
I get them on my lap
They beggin' for me back
I'm beggin' "please hold me back!"

Cause I'm bout to put them to sleep
All that disrespectful stuff
I don't take it with ease nah

(Was down but now I'm creeping up)
(Now I'm creeping up)
(Now, now I'm creeping up)
(Was down but now I'm creeping up)
(Now I'm creeping up)
(Now, now I'm creeping up, yuh yuh)

I was down but I'm up, I'm up, I'm up, I'm up
I was down but I'm up, I'm up, I'm up, I'm up
I was down, I was down, I was down, I was down but now I'm up

I caught a lil clout with my music, yea I did
Hit after hit after hit after hit
People wanna know how I became him
I cracked the code to myself within
