Nobody made us famous, we came up
I'm heavy on my way up, my way up
Even when I'm at the top on my way
up I grew up on 87th street
You know what that means to me
you know that happen fre quently
I was just roamin' between
Maybe grab the boys so we can
roll to grab a bag of trees
that same look became new to me
We would snag a bottle and
begin to drink it down low
And this is ho, that's on my mind now,
Thinking bout the days when mama
woke would make me wind down
She said don't miss curfew,
friend said she gon' hurt you
that shit is always gonna hurt you
Nobody made us famous, we came up
I'm heavy on my way up, my way up
And I'm never gonna stop,
Nobody made us famous, we came up
I'm heavy on my way up, my way up
And I'm never gonna stop even when I'm at the top,
Everything I learn is from the greats
Y 'all have taught me how to spread the
love just like the greats
Now I know the reason why
I'll enter heaven's gates
So, give me some time and
On my way up, never taken for kind,
Trust I was bound to blow
I used to never think that we'd make it
But they couldn't take it away from us
Now that we be gettin' this paper
They all wanna take it away
I'm on my way up, my way up
Nobody made us famous, we came up
I'm heavy on my way up, my way up
And I'm never gonna stop even
when I'm at the top on my way up
Nobody made us famous, we came up
I'm heavy on my way up, my way up
And I'm never gonna stop even
when I'm at the top on my way up
