[Intro]

KeY Wane
~#**************#~
Ayy
~#**************#~
I wanna dedicate this one to my son, Noah Hasani
~#**************#~
Daddy love you, boy
~#**************#~
Yeah
~#**************#~
And everybody just workin through what they workin through
~#**************#~
You know what Im sayin?
~#**************#~
Everybody makin the best with what they got
~#**************#~
Ayy, ayy, look
~#**************#~
[Verse]
~#**************#~
I know some OGs always working but they never paid
~#**************#~
Finding their way but shit it got to be a better way
~#**************#~
The older that I get Im feeling the resemblance
~#**************#~
I look into my sons eyes and still see his innocence
~#**************#~
I see my inner child in him and still the remnants
~#**************#~
Will he lose it to the world, is it imminent?
~#**************#~
Or is it something me and his mama had instilled in him?
~#**************#~
Any confidence you lose you could build again
~#**************#~
He only nine months barely sitting up
~#**************#~
He almost fell over
~#**************#~
I caught him, told him (Gotta get on up)
~#**************#~
Im only making plays now to pass it on
~#**************#~
One day my baby gon have babies and Im gon be gone
~#**************#~
The way time moving, it really wont be long
~#**************#~
I pray Im there for every memory you want me on
~#**************#~
I gotta teach him that its more than a rat race
~#**************#~
More than a cash chase, and if you chase cash
~#**************#~
That just means that its running away
~#**************#~
Instead of turning what you love into a company
~#**************#~
And watch the money come to me
~#**************#~
My what has the world done to me?
~#**************#~
Judging people off of how they look not what they done for me
~#**************#~
“Dont assume” is number three of The Four Agreements
~#**************#~
I gotta start applying everything that Ive been reading
~#**************#~
It seemed like the tragedy of losing kids will never calm
~#**************#~
I think about Trayvon, Breon, my neighbor Deshaun
~#**************#~
Praying for protection for my family
~#**************#~
And that he keep his hands on me to fight through this insanity
~#**************#~
I lay down, tryna figure out the rest
~#**************#~
Close my eyes, picture heaven, and its where Im at (Get up)
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Gotta get on up
~#**************#~
Gotta get on up, now (And you cant sit down)
~#**************#~
Gotta get on up
~#**************#~
Gotta get on up, now (And you cant sit down)
~#**************#~
Gotta get on up
~#**************#~
Gotta get on up, now (And you cant sit down)
~#**************#~
Gotta get on up (And you cant sit down)
~#**************#~
Gotta get on up, now (And you cant sit down)
~#**************#~
Gotta get on up
~#**************#~
Gotta get on up, now
~#**************#~
[Outro: Big Sean & Noah]
