Lyrics
"Uptown Forever"
(Intro)
Locally grown but globally known
It's Worldwide XcLewsive and (Crank Lucas) (si!)
I'ma take you back to my roots on this one
North East DC Allison Street
Uptown baby
(Hook)
Let me tell you exactly what my life's bout
I spend my days working and my nights out (si!)
Gotta stay shining til my light's out (si!)
Obama ain't the only nigga with a white house (rrrah!)
Kilo after kilo, snow mountains
Clocking 24/7, no lounging
From the home of the presidents, dough counting
Cruising clean round the city, slow bouncing
(Verse 1)
Unh, fly player with the lethal pimp
In the drop Jag getting high behind illegal tint
Diabetic blood in my veins, no sweet intent
Born businessman, little nigga I been eatin since
You was in the womb and your pops couldn't leave the bench
I was in the field for this fetti, had to lead the trench
Cookin in the belly of the beast and the heat's intense
If you wanna murder the game nigga you need attempts
Take a leap of faith ery time you leap a fence
Gotta be aware of your surroundings when you seekin cents
Insatiable hunger, let the feedin recommence
I don't know how much it's gonna take for me to be content (more)
Females be lying dog, I never believe a bitch
Erybody claim they go hard, but do I seem convinced?
I ain't even gon brag bout my elite defense
Just know I ain't the kind of nigga that you wanna scheme against
(Hook)
(Verse 2)
Puttin in more work than any nine to fivers
One man motion picture serving Hollywood lines of fire (si!)
Product sell itself I don't gotta find the buyers
Politic with heavyweights and nickel and dime providers (trill)
My word is well respected, I co-sign suppliers
Got em cuttin deals and slashin prices like my rhyme dividers
Laced in sublime attire, I'm the freshest, I'm the flyest
Only fuck with the realest, you could say I'm kind of biased (rrrah!)
Spit refined saliva always deaf and blind to liars
So my council's highly sought after as a crime advisor (trill)
Out to get everything that my mind desires
Til it's my time to rise up with the other sky residers
Nigga, I'm on the very short list of grind survivors
Several close calls with death serve as divine reminders
That I define the livest, and I'm here for a reason
I'm not a believer, I'm who you believe in
(Hook)
(Verse 3)
Look, the cash flow been serious, me and my co-conspirators
Been pushing cars with literally dope interiors
I run me, I have no superiors; and speak in codes
Harder to decipher than those that open pyramids (trill)
Stuntin on the block, dropped a hundred on the drop
Roof gone so these niggas know I'm coming for the top
Reppin real niggas pumping for a knot
While givin a clear shot to all these bitch niggas gunnin for my spot (whew!)
It's Uptown XcLewsive nigga
Not the past or the present, I'm the future nigga
Clearly I ain't someone that you're used to nigga
I'm who your bitch wanna get introduced to nigga (si!)
Work, work, work, this is that
Work, work, work, this is that
Work, work, work, this is that
Work, work, work, this is that work!
(Hook)
