Smoove’n Up Lyrics

[Hook]
I'm smoovin' up, I'm smoovin' up, I'm smoovin' up (x3)
They losin' us while we movin' up (x2)

[Verse 1]
The canvas is tough, it's already been colored
That's the plight of the artist honing a craft at this juncture

Hardly tripping on bitches, hardly rest when I slumber
And cause I eat up beats don't mean I'm losing the hunger
Bench press the weight of the rap game for leisure
Put my city on so quick like fresh sneakers
Cause Berkeley folk so wet, Noah's beats drippin'
And I try to give em game but these hoes don't pay attention
And I don't want no niggas girl, that's the worst position
If she cheat she'll cheat on me, I ain't supporting that decision
Guess that saying's about right
Never gonna turn a broke ho to a house wife
Speed like you stole it, niggas living a wild life
Like cheetahs in the jungle while my speakers go out right
Loud as they can be
In the middle of the night make love to the page no plan B

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
Grab a brew and we can have a chat or two
Keep your mind tight, you the one it matters to
Plenty obstacles everybody battle through
But to win you gotta have the right attitude
So you better love y'all life
Hating on me? I'm like "Fuck y'all twice!"
Niggas in the game probably fuck y'all wife
So don't worry about Emmo, I does alright
But babies having babies, and baby that ain't okay
Our backs against the wall, we hit them with the ole
I bought a lot of vodka to mix it with my OJ
A nigga do his thing, I stunt like Cirque du Solei
It's simple and plain but that doesn't make it easy
Keep wishing for fame with no one to play the genie
Trying to change my ways, I don't want to be stuck
In all the same habitual stuff I've had enough
Mother fucker... so I'm
[Hook]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
