[Marlon Craft - Show Up lyrics]
I only come out when it's time to pay
The grinder's wage
The cost of every line I say
Appreciates with time it's like a stock
Or a bond I save
And if words were dollars I'd
Be rich but they ain't
And if thought or scholarship was
Dope I'd be dank
If the smoke was the pain that
I feel from all the hopelessness, shame
From the wokeness I gained you could
Roll me up and toke me away, shit I
Just been tryna find a groove with it
In my slippers on the stoop sitting
New chick got me stiffer than a new fitted
Told her you an escape for me
And she was cool with it
And I don't wanna need need need my vices
I just wanna free my mind
But if I'm gon' believe my life is mine
Baby I'm gon' have to redefine
My momma told me one thing about you baby
Is that you always show up, when it's time
But I been takin Ls all month
I been win-free I'm feelin' like Oprah
I'm on my grind though
And if I fuck it up, fuck it if I fuck it up
Fuck it 'Cause when it's time to show
Up I'mma show up
Sho' 'nough baby matter of time
Matter of time
And if I fuck it up fuck it
At least I wasn't a puppet
I'm warrin' with the money like Buffet
I don't wanna need or want it
I ain't budging for your budget
That's a luxury of luck it's a
Lot of folks out here starvin'
I pour my OJ in a glass I said mom
What if I do my best and
It don't last I said mom
What if I'm to crass or
Too passive or blasphemous
Or if I get too nervous to act
She said yo hold on
You forever been different
When you ain't in the room
Baby the elephants missin'
When it's your time to go
You in your element, they forever been
Tellin' Craft to leave but somehow
Every diss miss him
You got that type of strength that
Look like weakness to the untrained eye
But you gon' be above these
Feelin's baby one day I
Know you don't need em when the lights go on
Now man the fuck up and go write your song
One time like
My momma told me one thing about you baby
Is that you always show up, when it's time
But I been takin' Ls all month
I been win-free I'm feelin' like Oprah
I'm on my grind though
And if I fuck it up, fuck it if I fuck it up
Fuck it 'Cause when it's time to show
Up I'mma show up
Sho' 'nough baby matter of time
Matter of time
The grinder's wage
The cost of every line I say
Appreciates with time it's like a stock
Or a bond I save
And if words were dollars I'd
