Ups & Downs

How brave do I become when truly loved?

My overwhelmin' feels are overcome

I might even hit the blunt

And I don't do that for anyone, no

Ooh

I think I'ma dance for the first time in a long time

Ooh

I might even laugh like I mean it

Come on, baby, say it like you mean it

You gonna be alright, baby

Alright

You know you're gonna be fine

You're gonna be alright, baby

Hey Kyle, how you doin'?

What is this dream you're pursuin'?

What are these feelings you mention? (what?)

Are you from a different dimension? (are you?)

My nigga, do you have dementia?

Why is you rappin' 'bout happy?

Think about all the bad shit that happens (ya)

You know the inside, you feel crappy

Okay, yeah, how did you guess?

Skrrt, I am a wreck

I set a record for bein' upset

Truthfully, honestly, I am a mess

I am depressed, I am obsessed

With self-deprecating and blamin' myself

Socially lyin', denyin' the help

I'm holdin' up like pants missin' a belt

But it ain't so bad (no, no)

Look what I be on

I'm on TV, mom

My nigga, I am a phenom

My chick is out o' this world

Yeah, badder than Zenon

When I need somebody to lean on

I put that Cudi CD on

In my spare time

Punchin' walls, fuckin' up my hand

I know that shit sounds super cray

But if you had this life, you'd understand

Everything's a lot o' up and down

But I ain't gonna let it get me down

No (no no)

(Ups, and downs)

(No!)

Ups, and downs

(Yo, ayy)

2016 hit me like a bag o' bricks (yup)

2017 switched up, like ooh it's lit (it's lit!)

I nearly had a mental breakdown

And eight months later had a hit (yup)

I guess life is like box a chocolates, huh

You never know what you finna get

Haha, yeah

Think about this for your flip

There's always two sides o' the coin

Tell my man you gotta keep goin'

You blessed nigga, you don't even know it

Sittin' there, lookin' all stoic, hmm

Be stiff, you should be stoked, hmm

You can smile, even if you broke, yo

You could be a Budden or a Boat, true

Yeah

Trust me, believe me, I been there too

Down on my luck, I was just like you

Singin' the same damn sad old song

Boo hoo (yeah)

But you'll be fine

It'll all be fine

It's just in your mind

Yep

(Ups, and downs)

Ups, and downs

Lil lil lil lil Boat, Lil Boat Lil Boat, Lil Boat

Yo, yo, wassup buddy?

It's your conscience!

My, my conscience?

Yeah, you know, th-the voice in your head that tells you when you fuckin' up?

Like uh, Jiminy Cricket?

Ugh yes, like Jiminy Cricket, you Disney ass motherfucker

N-Now listen up, man

You gotta leave that negativity shit in the past

That shit is old, bro

How you supposed to grow up, if you ain't even glowed up?

Uh, what, what the fuck are you talkin' about?

Ah, don't trip dawg, follow me. I'ma show you

You coming?
