[Intro: Charlie Wilson]
~#**************#~
Come and lift me up
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Big Sean & Charlie Wilson]
~#**************#~
Funny how niggas tend to believe more than what happened
~#**************#~
I mean, really, do we look like Inglorious Bastards? (Come and lift me up)
~#**************#~
Lena Waithe told me I was the black Brad Pitt
~#**************#~
I wasnt too fond of that title, flatterin as it is
~#**************#~
I mean, really though, thats what you think of my rep?
~#**************#~
Thats what they sayin bout me, quiet as kept?
~#**************#~
Like I just go from one star to another star
~#**************#~
Like Im drawin out a constellation or
~#**************#~
Go from one ho to another, like Im shootin par
~#**************#~
That aint me at all
~#**************#~
I really had to stop what I was doin and start retracin my steps
~#**************#~
And had to break some cyclеs
~#**************#~
Sometimes you dont always win it as much as youd like to
~#**************#~
But thеy cant see you out here panickin
~#**************#~
You cant expect it to change, doin the same, thats insanity
~#**************#~
They catch me on the Canon, movin candidly
~#**************#~
And even though Im out the frame, they pan to me
~#**************#~
But Im so on, that Im well off
~#**************#~
I only ever fell back, not fell off
~#**************#~
Fuck it, its just a different cycle (Oh)
~#**************#~
Sometimes you gotta go through a different cycle
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Big Sean, Charlie Wilson & Both]
~#**************#~
Cycle, cycle
~#**************#~
Oh, is that what you think of me, is that what you heard?
~#**************#~
That aint even the half of it, nigga, Im on a different cycle
~#**************#~
Ooh, come and lift me up
~#**************#~
Im sayin (Oh, yeah)
~#**************#~
How about instead of tearin me down, you— (Come and lift me up)
~#**************#~
Yeah, how bout that? (Ooh)
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Big Sean]
~#**************#~
Look, I got trauma that I havent dealt with
~#**************#~
I got feelings that I havent gelled with
~#**************#~
I got a lot of girls that wanna get up and meet
~#**************#~
And have a conversation with me, after they melt quick
~#**************#~
But I cant do that to my baby, Im too solid (Mmm-hmm)
~#**************#~
I mean, so solid, to the point, huh, that my homeboy is The Rock
~#**************#~
Shit, you thrivin over gossip, you the type to lose faith and stop it
~#**************#~
Im climin the mountain, even if I cant see the top of it
~#**************#~
Livin the highs, thrivin the lows
~#**************#~
Understand thats a whole different control
~#**************#~
I done hit, baby, thats mission control
~#**************#~
Ulterior motives thats gettin exposed
~#**************#~
Not enough money to give em my soul
~#**************#~
I set the standards, you live up to those
~#**************#~
Life speakin through me, its not morse code
~#**************#~
I cut you off, cause Im really that cold
~#**************#~
Tryin to go stone cold on me, but Im hot
~#**************#~
American dollar crashin out, but Im not
~#**************#~
This that prime time, baby, Im in that time slot
~#**************#~
Comin to you live, swear these niggas is dyin to watch
~#**************#~
So fuckin busy, she cant tell if Im lyin or not
~#**************#~
I just got to get this shit, Im on a different cycle
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Big Sean, Charlie Wilson & Both]
~#**************#~
Ooh, come and lift me up
~#**************#~
Oh, is that what you think of me, is that what you heard?
~#**************#~
That aint even the half of it, nigga, Im on a different cycle
~#**************#~
How about instead of tearin me down, you— (Come and lift me up)
~#**************#~
Oh, God (How?)
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Big Sean]
~#**************#~
Ayy, ayy, I went and bought my Mama a Benz
~#**************#~
And then I bought myself one and she like “Look, we twins”
~#**************#~
Nice watch, baby boy, but watch how you spend
~#**************#~
And make sure that its a write-off, I just wanna see you right off
~#**************#~
And before you leave that mansion, make sure you cut the lights off
~#**************#~
Mama, I know, like I dont work for every dollar of my own
~#**************#~
She know I got the heart of Joe and the mind of Mildred
~#**************#~
And the rest of the OGs thats woven all through my soul
~#**************#~
In spirit, fuck it, I had to break the cycle
~#**************#~
[Bridge: Big Sean & Charlie Wilson]
~#**************#~
Break the cycle of us thinkin we dont have enough, you know?
~#**************#~
Livin in the illusion of scarcity
~#**************#~
She never got her Chanel, but I broke the cycle
~#**************#~
Yeah, and I had to get her a red one, cause she a delta
~#**************#~
And she used to be a flight attendant on Delta, for real
~#**************#~
Im a grown man, but I had to break the cycle
~#**************#~
Yes, I did, yeah
~#**************#~
I said Im a grown man, break the cycle
~#**************#~
[Outro: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson]
~#**************#~
Yo, whats up, my brother?
~#**************#~
Great to hear from you, man
~#**************#~
So a few things, most importantly, uh, that sounds amazing
~#**************#~
Your baby boys nine months old and thriving, I love hearing that
~#**************#~
And Im sure that youre an inspired artist to begin with
~#**************#~
Like right out of the gates
~#**************#~
But Im sure holding your baby boy
~#**************#~
Gives you a whole new perspective on this new evolution
~#**************#~
Of what inspiration means, right?
~#**************#~
So Im sure, man, Im sure your motivation and inspiration
~#**************#~
Is through the roof every time you hold your baby boy
~#**************#~
And whats cool is your baby boy at nine months
~#**************#~
Is already almost bigger than Kevin Hart
~#**************#~
So, so thats really cool, haha
~#**************#~
Alright, my brother, love you, man
~#**************#~
And Im so happy for you, man, cant wait to see your baby boy
~#**************#~
Okay, bye
