[hook]
I had to grind to get my weight up
I can't see you boys cause I'm way up
Told her I don't got no time to lay up
I don't sugar coat shit I tell you straight up
Like you a fuck nigga straight up
And I don't fuck with you straight up
Yeah, I had to grind to get my weight up
If they ask you
Where I'm going tell them straight up
[verse]
I used to call she used to hit ignore
I used to move that dope
In front of williams store
When I had the aux cord
They ain't wanna hear the boy
Now I got a flow
That the labels probably kill you for
I act first then I ask questions
Long strides on them
We don't do no half stepping
She say I got good sex but I'm a bad texter
But you know how I play it
Business first and that's second
Damn 5 you a fool
I can't lie I'm the truth
I'm a. I. if I hoop
Cause I never played by the rules
Ain't piru but I'm bool
And they can't walk in my shoes
Cause I don't talk I just do it
And I have not made it yet but I am on the way
It's only up, that's the only way
Golden child from the golden state
I'm so stuck in my oakland ways
We are not friends we associate
Cause niggas be telling first 48
Word to kendrick, word to drake
Word to j. cole, c5 on the way
I'm the best on the west coast
Niggas like thats bold to say
But what the fuck I'm supposed to say
When I know I'm great
I ain't throwing shade
I'm just shining light on it for the record
When I hit it, only time I'm coming second
I can go for hours even unprotected
God damn that was unexpected, oops
Ooh damn 5 damn, ain't know I spit like that
Don't wanna take it
To the streets but it can get like that
On 59th & shattuck ave where I came up
I'll show you how I got that 5 in my name
Straight up
[hook]
I had to grind to get my weight up
I can't see you boys cause I'm way up
Told her I ain't got no time to lay up
I don't sugar coat shit
I tell you straight up
Like you a fuck nigga straight up
And I don't fuck with you straight up
Yeah, I had to grind to get my weight up
If they ask you
Where I'm going tell em straight up
[verse 2]
If they ask you
Where I'm going just go head and point them up
Yeah I know they call me 5
But like c4 I'm blowing up
I got bills that need be paid
I can't do nothing on the love
Made exceptions in the past
But that was only for my blood
Circle shrinking as I'm growing up
Girl just know that I'm old enough
She say I'm a baby
But she still gonna open up
Ride me like an '88
Kill them with the baby face
Then I gotta slide cause
They always show they're crazy ways
She say "you too busy with yo goals"
But tell me what you want
Me be busy or be broke?
Ever since I cuffed you
You be trying to do the most
So I'ma get a side just to keep you on yo toes
Straight up

I had to grind to get my weight up
I can't see you boys cause I'm way up
Told her I ain't got no time to lay up
I don't sugar coat shit, I tell you straight up
Like you a fuck nigga straight up
And I don't fuck with you straight up
Yeah, I had to grind to get my weight up
If they ask you
Where I'm going tell em straight up
