On the Come Up Lyrics

[Chorus: Big Sean]
On the come up, on the come up
Sun up, bunch a young niggas on the come up
Come up, run up
All my young ones on the come up
Bunch of young niggas on the come up (aye)


[Bridge: Big Sean]
All my niggas 'bout that action
Livin' the life we imagined
I cut off all my distractions, and started attackin'
Whole team gotta have it, loyalty is all I'm askin'
Wearin' diamond medallions (straight up)
My whole squad run the Atlas (look)

[Verse 2: Big Sean]
I was just on Jimmy Fallon
I just got back from the Islands
I took my daddy to Cancun
Then we went to the Bahamas
He had all they baby momma's
I had all they momma babies

Boy, I swear this life is crazy
Told that nigga sit back and be lazy, yeah
Don't worry, man, I got it, I got it, I got it
We buildin' from the ground up, it's in the block and
So the hood support us like I Mom and Pop'ed it

'Cause I bring it home like I just adopt it
5 to 10 for a lethal weapon
He ain't need that sentence, he just needs direction
No one ever told them boys to make it out of debt
You gon' need way more than street credit

I got redirected
Tryna take this lil' piece of success I got and make it bigger
You can tell I'm focused in my baby pictures
Not replyin' to texts, not even naked pictures
That's how real it gets
Whole team so hungry for the meals and shit that I can feel this shit
They askin' how we made it like the pyramids
It's like I'm livin' just to kill this shit

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
