Uplift Lyrics
[00:02.52] Levantore!
[00:03.79] Yeah, it's just ghetto, kid test the devil to hit the next level
[00:07.96] Wish they was a rebel with cerebral metal
[00:10.42] Inflex the bezzle with the peddle to the metal
[00:12.93] In a thug's paradise where love have a price
[00:15.45] So we love for life like thugs love the night
[00:17.80] They sell drugs for ice for the Benz with bug lights
[00:20.21] Some hug mics to the world, hung like parasites
[00:22.94] The likes lethal, the mics lead you
[00:24.90] A sneak preview, watch what we do and what the hood teach you
[00:28.24] I still see through the eye of a needle
[00:30.22] So I can watch people cause slug backwards is evil
[00:33.98] Levantore!
[00:34.91] Yo, what's this? Yo bust this. Yo it's time to up lift
[00:38.43] They think all we do is bust clips and puff splifs
[00:40.92] And plush whips and clutch chips and touch chicks
[00:43.83] Flont rocks like Fort Knox and hog blocks
[00:46.21] Taunt cops with more props and we want not
[00:48.84] Panhandling with your mans and them
[00:51.38] Scrambling, gambling, plans to win
[00:53.70] While the cops clock em, thieves flock em
[00:55.98] Women watch em, traders wanna top em
[00:57.68] Ay yo what's the problem
[00:58.85] Before the narcs knock em opposite playas plot to rob em
[01:01.54] The ghetto got em, my man said it's rough at the bottom
[01:04.49] Levantore!
[01:05.54] Ghetto alert, let's do whatever work to get rid of the curse
[01:09.11] We went from 1st to America's worst
[01:11.69] On this competitive turf, now let's inherit the earth
[01:14.35] There's more prize for one another, and call shots
[01:17.23] 12 o'clock 'til the next ball drop
[01:19.52] All year around plus they shuffle non stop
[01:22.04] You think it's rough at the bottom, it's even rougher on top
[01:24.68] My peeps gonna have to reach and turn for me
[01:27.24] And everybody's side of the street'll be celly
[01:29.78] Ain't nothing funny, burn plenty and burn money
[01:32.34] And earn money and watch the century turn 20
[01:35.14] Levantore!
[01:36.39] We all should, from the woods to the big city and the small hood
[01:40.09] Everybody should be welcome to the ball if we all could
[01:42.35] But we fall cause we brawl, yo it ain't all good
[01:45.14] We need to play right, stay tight with ya air alight
[01:47.51] Keep your game tight, no need to play trife
[01:50.23] Get cheese from the daylight to the late night
[01:52.66] And it shouldn't take death to appreciate life
[01:55.05] Before a lot parish, we got to cherish if Allah let us
[01:58.05] Let's give prop and merits till the block flourish
[02:00.10] In this metropolis, stay on top of this
[02:03.06] You know what the prophet is, be prosperous
[02:05.70] Levantore!
[02:07.19] Now we networking
[02:08.17] Respect the next person, it'll be less hurting
[02:10.78] Or left lurkin, while we kept our dreads working
[02:13.18] Connect set for certain, total networking
[02:16.12] Last chance to advance and stash grands
[02:18.42] If you have plans to have fam and mad land
[02:21.37] Own shine, condone crime or hold 9s
[02:23.47] I know what the problem is, killing our own kind
[02:26.14] To my flame throwers, train sober, remain soldiers
[02:29.06] Stay sane so these pretty dames can hold us
[02:31.01] Terror terrain rollers and Range Rovers so the train goers
[02:34.06] Claim your fame, maintain, till your game's over
[02:36.79] Levantore!
[02:38.06] Ghetto alert, let's do whatever work to get rid of the curse
[02:41.65] We went from 1st to America's worst
[02:43.83] On this competitive turf, now let's inherit the earth
[02:46.74] There's more prize for one another, and call shots
[02:49.70] 12 o'clock 'til the next ball drop
