Quincy Jones - Getting Up lyrics

[Verse One: Young Aidan] A f**ed up childhood, but I ain't trying to complain Just trying to go obtain, whatever I can to get some fame But that ain't what I'm in it for, humbled from beginning poor Remember all the visions torn, with nobody giving more Then a single f** about him, people never stuck around him Went in with everything, but there never was an outcome Home life was so trife, such a cold description But that I'll have to talk about another time, know its written Thats just life though, it is ice cold When you might go, is un-quite known Back to the topic I was not with any group in town But I just threw the smile I used in doubt through the clouds Where do I go without a soul to be hitting up? Nobody knows but I may just be letting up I ain't lived enough to try that ending just Hoped and prayed for one day that I'll be getting up [Hook: Young Aidan] Getting up Getting up Getting up [Verse 2: Young Aidan] Some f**ed up teen years, still ain't gonna complain Coming up with one way, to make it in this one lame World with no opportune-nitty, how I got in tune to be On the block and shoot, now to hoop or off a dude, really Its just thats just whats expected of me, all the Borough will cook Moved to Guildwood for a bit, but I was still hood Now I ain't trynna promote the life, but wanna show I know its like To know right from wrong, but to know it gets you left for life Always loved Hip-Hop, so I thought I'd write it down Recited loud, and the sight has now turned into quite a sound Help the next one up going through everything expressed above Try to make the best of what they're given to go step it up And right now, you probably didn't get it but Remember what I said though, because I think I've said enough Don't care who be ahead of us, no pressure but the message just Is talk now, its time to rock because a young'ns getting up [Hook: Young Aidan] Getting up Getting up Getting up Getting up [Bridge: Sample from the intro of the video for "Live Your Life" by TI] Sometimes on the way to where you're going you might think This is the worst time of my life But you know what? At the end of the road if you can get where you wanted to be You remember what don't k** you makes you stronger And all of the adversity was worth it [Verse 3: Young Aidan] One f**ed up life, Im grateful I got the chance to live Cause at the end of the day, I got a chance to live I won't lie, I wasn't always playing silly putty Pretty gully, chilling bummy with nothing ever given to me You can see the kid is hungry, nothing else will fill the munchies Everyday Im getting higher, nothings going to k** the buzz he Making, its amazing, how I came in on Awakened Now I'm staying, in this lane and never taking a vacation I used to cry for help, I've learned to wipe my tears Turning my darkest of secrets into some bright ideas I used to cry for help, I've learned to wipe my tears Being a b**h will never work, not going to try Madea Am I clear? Im grateful for this blessing but I curse in each verse out of amazement I'm getting what I've always wanted; and there is no guessing what Is coming next, please enjoy, this is Young Aidan: Getting Up [Hook: Young Aidan] Getting UP Getting UP Getting UP And now I'm Getting UP
