On the way up
On the way up

Arnetta, know me very well
La'Neise she know me very well
Jabari I know him very well
I got around guards, no carousel
When it got deep, I grew wings and para-sailed
Read the bible way more than fairy tales
Thought I wouldn't elevate, I took the stairwell
Watch 'em stare well, yeah I'm very well
See these pretty wings, I maxed well
I'm fortunate, I'm the sexiest
I'ma tomboy, you love a tomboy
Check the time y'all all too late, tick tick
Got no chill, but I do got Netflix
Watch the movies on me
I like my t-shirts wit' no sleeves
Ain't gotta bear arms to show I'm deadly, uh
In a league of my own
Watch what you say you don't know who you among
Speak a little truth, ah!
Here come the stones
Throw me a few, look I got good bones
Diamonds 'tween my knees
Oil wells in thighs
Does my sassiness upset you?
Oh, you mad that I survived?!
On the way up

Oh, you mad that I survived and I ain't comin' down (on the way up)
Squad, squad, squad, squad baby, look around (on the way up)
See me coming, see me coming, we ain't slowin' down (on the way up)
On the way up, on the way up, you can't touch me now

Snow Hill is my home, hour from the beach
Small-town beef it'll don't get that deep
I grew up wit you, and you grew up wit me
Throw a few hands, and we good next week
Niggas wanna buck it ain't hot enough for heat
Homie, I know your whole family
Johnny, Antwan, rest in peace
I went off to college, young Denise
Young Kelis, how I left my address
Pulled up to Grammys errrh, all red
When I step to mic Um! See em all dead
Visionary, won't never scared
Never backed down if I was ever dared
I can't be compared, I wear a black beret
I got a panther in me, I'm Cameron nigga
I only play ball where the winners winning, okay
I got diamonds tween my knees
Oil wells in thighs
Does my sassiness upset you?
Oh, you mad 'cause I survived?!
On the way up

Oh, you mad that I survived and I ain't comin' down (on the way up)
Squad, squad, squad, squad baby, look around (on the way up)
See me coming, see me coming, we ain't slowin' down (on the way up)
On the way up, on the way up, you can't touch me now

I got diamonds 'tween my knees
Oil wells in thighs
Does my sassiness upset you?
Oh, you mad 'cause I survived?!
On the way up

Oh, you mad that I survived and I ain't comin' down (on the way up)
Squad, squad, squad, squad baby, look around (on the way up)
See me coming, see me coming, we ain't slowin' down (on the way up)
On the way up, on the way up, you can't touch me now, touch me now
