Rakim - Up Lift lyrics

(1st verse)

Levantore!

Yeahit's just ghettokid test the devil to hit the next level

Wish they was a rebel with cerebral metal

Inflex the bezzle with the peddle to the metal

In a thug's paradise where love have a price

So we love for life like thugs love the night

They sell drugs for ice for the benz with bug lights

Some hug mics to the worldhung like parasites

The likes lethalthe mics lead you

A sneak previewwatch what we do and what the hood teach you

I still see through the eye of a needle

So I can watch people cause slug backwards is evil

(2nd verse)

Levantore!

Yowhat's this? yo bust this. yo it's time to up lift

They think all we do is bust clips and puff splifs

And plush whips and clutch chips and touch chicks

Flont rocks like fort knox and hog blocks

Taunt cops with more props and we want not

Panhandling with your mans and them

Scramblinggamblingplans to win

While the cops clock emthieves flock em

Women watch emtraders wanna top em

Ay yo what's the problem

Before the narcs knock em opposite playas plot to rob em

The ghetto got emmy man said it's rough at the bottom

(3rd verse)

Levantore!

Ghetto alertlet's do whatever work to get rid of the curse

We went from 1st to america's worst

On this competitive turfnow let's inherit the earth

There's more prize for one anotherand call shots

12:00 til the next ball drop

All year around plus they shuffle non stop

You think it's rough at the bottomit's even rougher on top

My peeps gonna have to reach and turn for me

And everybody's side of the street'll be celly

Ain't nothing funnyburn plenty and burn money

And earn money and watch the century turn 20

(4th verse)

Levantore!

We all shouldfrom the woods to the big city and the small hood

Everybody should be welcome to the ball if we all could

But we fall cause we brawlyo it ain't all good

We need to play rightstay tight with ya air alight

Keep your game tightno need to play trife

Get cheese from the daylight to the late night

And it's shouldn't take death to appreciate life

Before a lot parishwe got to cherish if allah let us

Let's give prop and merits till the block flourish

In this metropolisstay on top of this

You know what the prophet isbe prosperous

(5th verse)

Levantore!

Now we networking

Respect the next personit'll be less hurting

Or left lurkinwhile we kept our dreads working

Connect set for certaintotal networking

Last chance to advance and stash grands

If you have plans to have fam and mad land

Own shinecondone crime or hold 9s

I know what the problem iskilling our own kind

To my flame throwerstrain soberremain soldiers

Stay sane so these pretty dames can hold us

Terror terrain rollers and range rovers so the train goers

Claim your famemaintaintill your game's over

(6th verse)

Levantore!

Ghetto alertlet's do whatever work to get rid of the curse

We went from 1st to america's worst

On this competitive turfnow let's inherit the earth

There's more prize for one anotherand call shots

12:00 til the next ball drop

All year around plus they shuffle non stop

You think it's rough at the bottomit's even rougher on top

My peeps gonna have to reach and turn for me

And everybody's side of the street'll be celly

Ain't nothing funnyburn plenty and burn money

And earn money and watch the century turn 20

Levantore!
