Текст песни Building from the Bottom - Speech , Configa , Arrested Development

I'm used to building things up from the bottom
Used to be nothing there now there's something
Grabbing all the scarps that's from the garbage
Make a masterpiece all the people wanting

I started from the Mil
Down the hill from a landfill
Had skill to stand on yet at a stand still
Funky like the band Mandrill
Underground always busy like an ant hill
Couldn't wait to be on the case like an Anvil
Til the rejection letters messing with my head like an Advil
I wasn't the one with a six pack and tattoos
But I still wanted to live my fantasy like Tattoo
Always hollering about the planes the planes that my art could get me to
So no relaxing or laid back attitude more like
Murder everyone that's in the way push on through
Relocate to GA ATL relay
I want to start a craze and we slay every track that we play
I was primarily an MC I need a dj, then I'm really on the way.Ok

I'm used to building things up from the bottom
Used to be nothing there now there's something
Grabbing all the scarps that's from the garbage
Make a masterpiece all the people wanting
La la la la la la la la la la la

Yeah yeah yeah
Im tired of signing blues and wonder where the day went
Come place your feet in my shoes walk a hundred miles on this pavement
I sacrificed and paid dues like stopping my engagement
I broke bread with my crew while I hear them pray to say amen
Friends a turn on you too
Only room for one on this stage then I tried to tell them
That you he think we free when we caged in
I promised Speech I won't lose I'm creating something from the basement
This is 1 love I refuse, wanna kick me out when I paid rent
Follow me to make do, got my chefs hat and my rolling pin
Radio they won't play us folk cuz I want hip hop to get a soul again
This is how I get down
Bass up leaning back with my shades on
Black Levis and black J's on probably getting my blaze on
On the stage and stunt in my loke's
Shining bright they wanna touch the cloak
Industry they wanna sell you hope they want make you rap about slanging dope
Record deal it was just a joke independent all the way
Building from the bottom, seen it grow to what it is today

I'm used to building things up from the bottom
Used to be nothing there now there's something
Grabbing all the scarps that's from the garbage
Make a masterpiece all the people wanting
La la la la la la la la la la la

Ok
I built a foundation, so I started from the bottom
Now I'm here reinforcing every pillar, every column
Knowing self esteem's precious, Lord Of The Rings Golem
Manifest to see the blessings in the problem
Wit plenty ups & downs, spinning round & round, ain't know how bad it was
Or that my kindness would be taking advantage of
Tragic love & hiphop just left me heartbroken
Wit all deez A&R's joking man I start smoking
Way more flowers wit hours upon hours
Learning not to cry over the spilled milk that sours
In the sunlight, master my craft until its done right
One might - not wanna bring a knife to a gunfight
Hung tight - squeezing on every dollar I'm getting paid
Knowing life might give you lemons just make some lemonade
Centigrade, Celsius - I'm really that guy
Underdog like a pitbull piggyback ride

I'm used to building things up from the bottom
Used to be nothing there now there's something
Grabbing all the scarps that's from the garbage
Make a masterpiece all the people wanting
La la la la la la la la la la la
