Lyrics
Verse 1:Rodge)
Introductory verse by Rodge
I usually dont rap on trap, because my whole life was a trap
Expressing reluctance to rap about the trap lifestyle due to personal experiences
Fuck I look like doing that?
Questioning the decision to engage in trap-related activities
We got it shaking, no cap
Boasting about success, denying falsehood ("no cap")
Midaswell follow the drip when it drop
Suggesting following success, represented by "drip"
I mean I stopped drinking soda but right when you thought I would quit I just popped
Resisting conventional expectations, continuing habits despite criticism
Now I'm poppin like I just got done checking the grease to make sure it was hot
Comparing success to a hot, sizzling experience
Now these hoes want me to send my location but I dont get put on the spot
Rejecting pressure to reveal location, maintaining control
I gotta get to the top
Expressing determination to reach the top
Now watch me grind grind grind
Highlighting dedication and hard work
I ain't got no time time time
Emphasizing a busy schedule, lack of time for distractions
To worry about what everybody doing, shit I gotta get mine mine mine
Focusing on personal success and achievements
And that's straight up
Asserting honesty and straightforwardness
But if you dont got facts then please dont assume
Cautioning against baseless assumptions
Everybody talking too much but I dont think they got any room
Observing excessive talk without substance
I told my girl I had to get it jumpin before we was jumpin any broom
Commitment to success before formal commitments (marriage)
Now 724 done blew up and its hitting niggas like BOOM
Celebrating success and its impact
It's BFNB but I love Rochy and Quip too
Expressing group loyalty despite success ("BFNB," friends mentioned)
Back home they always count us out, but now the county got me and swoo
Reflecting on hometown skepticism, current recognition
Here to just pick em up, dont gas me unless you gon' fill it up
Offering support but expecting reciprocation
If you could understand what we been through and where we from
Challenging others to understand their struggles and origins
Then I bet that you would...
Unfinished thought, possibly continued in the next line
(Hook)
Chorus (Hook) - Respect and celebrate the journey to success
Respect the come up, everyone loves a come up
Reiteration of the chorus with emphasis on the challenges of leaving the hood
It took a long time to come up, and nowadays we be stuntin
-And I love the hood but I swear to God I ain't going back till I'm good
-Yeah you love the hood, but I'm pretty sure if you could get out then you would
-Yeah...
-That's the come up, everyone loves the come up
-It took a long to come up, nowadays we be stuntin
-And I swear to God that I love the hood but I ain't going back till I'm good
-Yeah you love the hood, but I'm pretty sure if you could get out then you would
-(Verse 2: Swoozy)
Verse 2 by Swoozy
And my homie just poured me up a lil double cup
Discussing the consequences of success, including jealousy and the need for self-defense
I'm bout to sip it until I feel numb enough
-Bag it and flip it, make the money double up
-Bitches used to hate and now they in love with us
-Tell them other bustas that they cant fuck with us
-Tell them mothafuckas that they in trouble cuz
-You should take cover whenever we runnin up
-It ain't just two of us, it's a whole bunch of us
-724
-This shit ain't cute
-The people back home ain't gon' know what to do
-We tried to recruit and round up some troops
-But they was too scared to go to war and shoot
-So me and Rodge had to lace up our boots
-And now that we won they all wanna salute
Recognition of victory and dismissing unloyal individuals
And we just look back like who the fuck are you
-That's the come up
Reiterating the theme of success and overcoming challenges
(Hook)
Repeating the chorus with slight variations
Respect the come up, everyone loves a come up
-It took a long time to come up, and nowadays we be stuntin
-And I love the hood but I swear to God I ain't going back till I'm good
-Yeah you love the hood, but I'm pretty sure if you could get out then you would
-Yeah...
-That's the come up, everyone loves the come up
-It took a long to come up, nowadays we be stuntin
-And I swear to God that I love the hood but I ain't going back till I'm good
-Yeah you love the hood, but I'm pretty sure if you could get out then you would
Concluding the song with a reflection on the desire to leave the hood
