Uptown
(Verse)
Yeah, the(?) love ran from me
Wash Heights, stand up! Get it to be done
Cuz I'mma stick around until the body rest
Down the block, head down, shoutin' que-lo-que?
Betta yet, I plant roots, let the seeds grow
Hands to the dirt, trust God till I till I see my death
Cuz then I'm off to the next one
I'm livin' for the city and the skies like the jets, we aim high
The kind of stuff that you tell sons and you tell daughters
I leave it as I see(?), Cadillac a rim father
I'm not takin' try hard, I'm takin' trust God
Made, king, made, king, uh(?!)
Cuz sometimes it seems like you won't see
But you can sure listen well like Ray Charles
A money shame cuz he's fallen
He is the father like Vader, salute to the savior, this

Uptown, Uptown, Uptown (Uptown)
Uptown, Uptown, Uptown (Uptown)
Uptown, Uptown, Uptown (Uptown)
Uptown, Uptown, Uptown (Uptown)
(Verse 2)
They say that kids mess yo brains up
Styles gettin' cramped up
Help em out Ruben, and tell em young'ns put em hands up
Man up! Kids are an answer
Kinda like men are from God so we can invent
I remember vividly, mom with her hair up
Clean it up, and our pops makin' that ?
Ma, I miss you, those were the days, plus ? on that radio
Yeah, old skool heads know what's up!
Yeah, I got to see this picture growin' up
See the bigger picture up in genesis
A father lovin', serpent leadin' up in every crib
Can you picture God tellin' his creation
That He made us and was mistaken?
Nathan: 'God is a father like none'
He drew up the plan, in the center was his son
The Savior!
