The Come Up Lyrics

[Hook x2: Typhoon]
Typhoon, y'all know me
And I'm coming up just wait and see
If you're good at something never do it for free
But if you're great at something, would you still agree?

[Verse 1: Typhoon]
So let me take you back, to where it all began
Just me in my room, tryna be my own man
Sitting under the moon, seemed like my only fan
And it was early June, when I wrote the plan
First download, then you knew it's a must
Already on to bigger things, Bamboozle or bust
And then I'll find a little fame, and never know who to trust
I never wanna get used, so pretend I'm Google +
But my online presence, that's my gift to the web
I'm aiming higher than the rest of you Twitter celebs
While you're hitting your limit, I'm just taking a step
Tryna rise and grind, but you overslept
They say I never look the part, and I have to admit
They look at me funny, like “Yo, is this the kid?”
But then I have 'em coming back, saying, “Yo, he can spit!”
And then I hit 'em with a track, and they know it's a hit

[Hook x2]
[Verse 2: Typhoon]
This rapping thing, is a gift and a curse
I got a blog feature, after only one verse
All the doubters claim, that it can only get worse
And all the cowards sayin', that I need to disperse
But I'm here to stay, I've got more to say
A typhoon coming through, better get out the way
So cold; the best that you could do was delay
But I'll make 'em have a snow day, in the middle of May
2nd year done, I'm feeling grown now
And then I'm hopping on a plane, cause I'm home bound
And I'll show you how, I keep it so loud
Name another Dayton rapper that you know about
So please, try, take your time
And I'll just wait over here while I write another line
It'll probably be something that'll blow your mind
'Cause like Logic told ya, all I do is rhyme

[Hook x2]

[Verse 3: Typhoon]
They know me back home, now they seen my video
Everybody joined the team, and they wanna see me blow
I told 'em if they wanna hear me on the radio
The first step is to play this for every single friend they know
Then watch it fall in place, like starting a trend
Like when I was overseas, I had them doing it big
Baby Boy Da Prince, they in love with the kid
'Cause this is the way I live
And if you're standing in the way
You're looking like Darwin Deez, about to have a bad day
You were aiming for the gold, but couldn't finish second best
And you better step it up, 'cause McKayla's not impressed
My team is United, my water is Smart
My country's divided, and my family's apart
They say I'm misguided, but it's only a start
Typhoon's coming up, so respect this art
[Hook x2/Outro]
