[00:00.00]From The Ground (從地面而起) - Danny Brown/Kelela
[00:14.15]8 balls wit a safety pin
[00:15.97]I deserve the finer things
[00:17.32]Told myself back then
[00:18.44]When I used to ride a schwinn
[00:19.73]Now I'm on a tour bus
[00:20.89]Going places I ain't never been
[00:22.43]
[00:23.00]Wrote my rhymes down on a paper bag
[00:24.93]That was way back
[00:26.34]Having dreams of a cadillac
[00:27.60]Dog I had to bounce back
[00:28.89]Locked a ni**a up
[00:29.76]Why they do me like that
[00:31.22]Now I'm on the Jack in the county
[00:32.69]Asking mommy for some money
[00:33.85]Swear to God she'd do anything for me
[00:35.81]Now we out the hood and the nightmare is us going back
[00:38.49]So I won't go to sleep 'til I finish that
[00:40.53]Cousin of death anyway
[00:41.75]Now I see better day
[00:43.22]Miss a minute second hour
[00:45.44]Living on borrowed time
[00:46.48]Can't think about tomorrow
[00:47.51]'Cause it's about today
[00:48.63]And you know you wanna take my place

[00:56.37]I built it up from the ground
[01:01.10]You stay asleep I'm gonna get it
[01:05.73]I built it up from the ground
[01:10.01]Now tell me would you sacrifice your dreams
[01:12.01]What it takes if you want anything
[01:14.23]Got me missing sleep 'cause my mind on the beat
[01:16.33]So while I'm counting bars y'all be counting sheep
[01:18.77]No cheat sheet get it out the mud
[01:21.23]Get it how you live why I'm out here in the field
[01:23.54]My ni**a wake up wipe the cold out your eyes
[01:25.74]It's a cold cold world but even hotter when you die
[01:27.97]So no try to do what about you
[01:30.33]Work off well met do the same thing too
[01:32.92]A lot locked up wishing they was like you
[01:35.11]Got a letter from my ni**a saying he be out in June
[01:37.62]Been down for a minute and every since sentence
[01:40.10]Things ain't been the same so I'm missing my ni**a
[01:41.91]
[01:42.43]Staring at the ceiling thinking how far I came
[01:44.77]Was trapped in the storm but I made it out the rain
[01:48.41]You turn around and now I'm winning
[01:52.53]
[01:53.05]I built it up from the ground
[01:57.71]You stay asleep I'm gonna get it
[02:02.30]I built it up from the ground
