Lyrics:

[Intro]

Are you down with Zuby?

[Verse 1]

Yo I started as an underdog, still the fricking underdog

Force my hand to draw, I’ll split the deck just right from under y’all

Smells like teen spirit when we hit the stage to rumble y’all

So don’t look back in anger never hide behind the wonder wall

Ecstasy to rages but this music is my life

I’ve been courting her for ages time to make this thing my wife

Matrimony is the system, people hear but never listen

Many look me in my eyes, but few can see my vision

Let’s be honest, I’ve never been the radio’s sweetheart

But gained a bigger following than half of them, real talk

Begging for a deal while I’ve been treading for a meal

Now I’m eating off my music till I’m hungry for a mil

I spoke to God this morning, He said that there’s a spot for me

Between this earth and heaven, where I’m at is not the top for me

This talent is a gift and the present means a lot to me

Nothing good comes easy, I believe in this philosophy

[Hook]

One for the hustle, two for the time

Three for the struggle, four for the grind

Five for the past and the present where we strive

And six for the future we gon’ make it out alive now

Reach up and keep ‘em high, let’s open up the sky

(Hands up, hands up, hands up, hands up and…)

Reach up and keep ‘em high, let’s open up the sky

(Hands up, hands up, hands up, hands up and…)

Reach up and keep ‘em high, let’s open up the sky

(Hands up, hands up, hands up, hands up and…)

Reach up and keep ‘em high, let’s open up the sky

[Verse 2]

With zero ambition how you know when you’re achieving?

Say you’ve got no religion, homie what do you believe in?

It’s hard to count your blessings when you’re constantly receiving

Nonetheless I’m never satisfied I guess it’s self-deceiving

Cuz comparatively speaking, I’m lucky that I’m eating

And lucky that I’m breathing, all the health that I’m perceiving

Struggling internally like “Zuby what’s the reason?

You’ve got enough to live and there’s so many who are needing”

I guess it’s human nature, don’t know if that makes it better

We live in a society where most of us are debtors

Trying to turn to creditors, prey (pray) we turn to predators

Said if I was rich then I would give a little cheddar

But who am I to judge? In my armour there’s some chinks

My perspective has some blinks and I’m just painting what I think

Don’t appreciate my art? You’re probably missing the subliminal

Surrealist with a syllable like Dali but I’m lyrical

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

Look I’m more than just an rapper, I’m a flipping phenomenon

My bars hit with the hardest with the wisdom of Solomon

Flow for thirty days with no food like Ramadan

Whilst I out style your swag with no shoes and pyjamas on

Foolish people say “all rap is bitches and hoes”

I’m about to kill them in two bars cuz they’ve been missing my flows

Don’t assume cuz I’m a rapper you can label me as anything

Proves you’re narrow minded and you’re ignorant ‘bout everything

Yes I’m known as many things but none of them is a gangster

So how am I not real because I’m me and not a wankster?

I don’t write for sucker nerds, I’d rather give them quotables

You’ve got more ‘likes’ than Zuckerberg but message isn’t notable

Like… hold up, that was a metaphor, silly me

Hate me cuz I’m beautiful or like me like a simile

Sserve it hot like Dominoes it’s all in the delivery

Cuz when it comes to hip-hop you just witnessed the epitome

[Hook]
