Lyrics Ground Up - David Lopez

I tried to tell them, but they keep misunderstanding
When I say I'm here forever
Keep my name in good standing cause
That's one thing I ain't playing with
Can't let it go
I got vices, ain't too righteous, but I got principles
It's family first, like I'm Dominic Toretto
And stay true to who I am, I see the lies like Geppetto
But I ain't falling for it, every day I'm moving forward
Don't do the most, but most can't do what I've been working toward
Spending time I can't afford
On vacation I record
Voice memos on the beach
See the flame don't ever cease
What a shame it would be
If I ain't start to use this heat
I know it's comfort that she seeks
But it ain't bout to come from me
I'm too committed and it ain't to what she wishing
When you got this kind of vision
Intuition gotta listen, I'm just
Doing what I'm supposed to
I can feel it when it flow through
Moving like a mogul, where I'm headed they can't go to

Ground up, we built this from the ground up
What's in this warm cup represents years of no sleep and bad luck
Monday is a venti, by Tuesday I'm already at a double cup
Trauma blocks intuition
Just my thoughts as I'm staring out this window tripping
This espresso starting to kick in
Drip drop
Pour it up and lip lock
Mix the coffee with the hip hop
Cream will take you to the tip top
If I could just get more likes on TikTok
Overcome by this emotion
Relying on brown potion
You never see it toasted, it's just you and all your bullshit
Your pape don't seem to stack right
Your girl don't seem to act right
You're living in your past life
Cause you're the too afraid to change type
The longer the silence, the higher the steam rises
It's just me and me
The darker the roast, the clearer the ghost
It's just me and me
Every morning the sun rises, I'm afraid to open my eyelids
It's just me and me
The coffee in this cup is a reflection of me
Every fear, every dream, every scar that you see
Do you wake up to wake up
Or wake up to sleep
When you're stare in that coffee
Do you like what you see
It's just me and me
