Run It Up

Intro

Yeah, yeah, ayy

(uh-huh) Come on

Do-do-do, do-do-do

Verse

I lace the night with a plan, not a map, I improvise (skrrt)

Pocket full of could-bes, I turn 'em into alibis (yuh)

Raised on corner sermons, vinyl crackle, car alarms

Wrote my name on boarded doors, made murals out of scars

I hustle syllables like currency, count bars like commas

Flip a problem into profit, flip a sorrow into drama (ayy)

Streetlight sermonizer, I preach to the pavement

Every loss coded lessons, every scar's my engagement

Clock ticks, I stitch rhymes to the seams of the city (watch)

Blueprints in my backpack, ambition lookin' pretty (look)

They gamble with their time, I'm calculated, cold-blooded

Chip up on the table, I'm patient, I'm knotted

Whisper to the sunrise, tell it 'bout the nights I fought

Now I'm signing autographs with ink that I bought

Crossroads had me sweating, now my steps rehearsed

I barter with the bitter, wheel and deal with the worst

No silver spoon—silver linings, I invent 'em (yeah)

Raised by the rhythm—rhythm raised me, never bent 'em (uh)

Pre-chorus

I move like a rumor that grows into a headline (grow)

Hands on the wheel, yeah, steering past the skyline

Voices in the rearview trying to write my ending (nah)

I write back louder, keep the chorus pending (let's go)

Chorus

Run it up, run it up, run it up, run it up (run it)

Run it up, run it up, run it up, run it up (yeah)

Stacks to the ceiling, dreams on the subway (dreams)

We don't take breaks, we make tracks and replay (play)

Run it up, run it up, run it up, run it up (run it)

Run it up, run it up, run it up, run it up (ayy)

Holler at the hustle, count every come-up (count it)

We don't fold, we unfold, then we sum up (sum up)

Verse

Came from payphones and paper planes, I learned to pilot

Turned my whispers into warrants, now they call me quiet riot (yuh)

When the world bets against me, I buy my own chips

Deal myself destiny—ace up my script

Clockwork ambition, I oil the gears with tenacity

Made peace with the grind, now success is classic rarity

Exhale history, inhale the next chapter

I write wins in margins where doubt tried to capture

They auction dreams for pennies; I auction time for legacy

I sail storms in a canoe—yeah, make it sound medley

Met a mirror on the way up, told it, "Stay steady"

Asked my past for permission—past said, "Take the Chevy"

No rearview regrets, only rearview reconnaissance

Eyes on the summit, my focus is a promise

I hustle in a language that the hardworking speak

Concrete sermons, gospel for the meek (let's go)

I stitch my name through syllables like tattoos (tattoo)

Every line a landmark, every rhyme a breakthrough (boom)

Bridge

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (oh)

Na-na, na-na, na-na (yeah)

Keep it moving, keep it moving, keep it moving (move)

Hands up if you built this from nothin' (from nothin')

Chorus

Run it up, run it up, run it up, run it up (ru
