Blow Up
Ivan B
[Verse 1]
Man, I find it funny when they wishin' you the best
Hate on your success
Act like nothing's wrong, like we're all best friends
Anybody real left? World got me numb
But I bet that you feel this, this is just a game to me
Everybody sounding like the same thing to me
Everybody living fake 'cause they're paid to be
I'll be the realest one that you'll ever pay to see
Just wait and see
I'm flipping through the cards that I'm dealt
I'm going all in with my chips to the ceiling
I've got a problem with people who act like they know what I deal with
Issues, we all got a million
It's a misstep if you stepping to me
I wanna meet anybody you think is better than me
I put my heart in these lines, the only thing that I bleed
Funny how I'm giving you bars that are setting you free
I've been laced up, I've been ready to ball
Lost my last girl 'cause destiny called
I guess it could've been different
That's the way it falls
If you wanna gain it all you gotta go through it all, yeah
Like it's funny how they get at you
When you start 'em with some revenue
Now I got old friends that I never knew
Never gave me credit, all of a sudden I'm incredible
I let them know, I let them go
I ride around the city in my whip
Look at all my fans, yeah, they know what time it is
Gotta be brave if you really wanna live
I've been getting wiser, but my heart is still a kid
God gave me talent, now it's time to make a flip
I do this 'cause I need to, I don't care about a list
Sitting in a classroom, what is all of this?
I'ma turn my daydreams into road trips, road trips
Going up, going up, everybody showing up
Waiting for the fireworks, any minute blowing up
If you got a dream put a finger up, hold it up
Shooting for the stars, but I'd rather be the only one
[Chorus]
Blowin' up
Yeah, we goin' up
(I said) This is all I know
This is all I know, this is all I know
Blowin' up
Yeah, we goin' up
(I said) This is all I know
This is all I know, this is all I know
This is all I know

[Bridge]
They don't wanna see us blow up
They don't wanna see us blow up
Hey, this is all I know, this is all I know
This is all I know, this is all I know

[Verse 2]
Anger building up, I let it all go
They be sleeping on me, time to let them all know
I see you saying that you're real, but it's all show
I used to really like music, where'd it all go? Yeah
I don't care 'bout these socials
My time, I just stay low
I told myself yes
Even when they all said no
No passion in music, like look what they play though
Just 'cause I'm Christian, you think I got halos?
Tell me what you know about the young kid from the Bay
Tryna put me down, I elevate
Working as a waiter, just so I can fill a plate
Only time I'm on a court is when I wanna fade away
This life got me stressed, ain't got no time to meditate
If I didn't write these lines, then I'd probably medicate
If you're willing to wait, then you're willing to break
Yeah, it takes a lot of will, if you wanna be great
So I'm biting my tongue, into these lyrics I pour
And everytime I look inside, it's like it all could be yours
Put my heart in a pen, just so it could amend
I'ma make it to the top then I'll do it again
Everybody say they want it, but no one really want it
'Cause they talk a lot of game, but no one really does it
If you're talking about a sellout, I am not in your discussion
If you're talking about who's real, I can't even name a dozen
Everybody sounding like the same thing, same beats, same pawn, same team
Talking like you're different, but you're just the same thing
Just cause you can buy a throne doesn't make you king
Doesn't matter, 'cause I'm
[Chorus]
Blowin' up
Yeah, we goin' up
(I said, I said) This is all I know, this is all I know, this is all I know
(Hey, hey, 'cause we) Blowin' up
(Hey, hey) Yeah, we goin' up
(I said, I said) This is all I know, this is all I know, this is all I know
This is all I know
