lyrics

Intro:
Yeah… come on… baseline… classic… let’s go!!

Chorus:
I can’t stop, won’t stop, never stop
No time for regretting all the things I never got
Aim high look ahead trust in my own way
Stay fly keep believing love is the only
Stand tall anything negative I pass it
One word to describe everything CLASSIC
I’m falling up, I’m falling up, I’m falling up, falling

Verse One:
I must a’ (what?) cut the mustard (yeah)
Certified as a champion hustler (true dat’)
I made em’ wait like a bus stop (pow, pow)
Know how to pack a punch like a bust up (yeah)
Dirty MC’s I had to dust up (yo now I’m back)
Now I’m back saying what’s up?
You wanna stay close show me your crust na’ (show me your crust)
That’s what it takes for me to trust ya (run it)
Classic, Heartfelt, One Another, (4th album)
When Love, Black Jazz, then I’m on ta’ (6th album)
Fantasy, Seven, Seven with my brother
Street Love, Street Swagger white cover (Latin love)
Latin Love, Red Pill, 4th Quarter (the interview)
The Interview, So Sexy, Gods Daughter
This is so hot and it’s only just the warm up
Other rappers choose to fall down but I fall up!

Chorus:

Verse Two:
Obama made it blacks celebrated worldwide (Barak)
Then MJ Died, (MJ died) and then the world cried (and then the world cried)
It’s like you win one (win one) and then you lose one
So if God gave me 2 hands why use one? (I’m trying to leave)
I’m trying to leave behind a legacy
Leave behind them haters formulating with their jealousy (it’s very easy)
It’s very easy making enemies
All you gotta do is raise your name to celebrity (yo)
So get this and don’t get it twisted (ah-ha)
Most gifted kid from my district (yo)
And all your research won’t change the facts (no, no)
Times changed so I chose to adapt (to adapt)
I’m not a young boy (uh), I’m a young man (young man)
Look at everything I’ve done and I’m one man (one man)
So you know who to call up
When other cats choose to fall down but I’m falling up!


Chorus:


Verse Three:
My track record speaks volumes
So don’t try take this for cartoons (cartoons)
They say I’m the producer that has hits (yo)
I say I’m just a dude that’s classic (classic)
And I’m also sick wid it (uh)
Tried it, had it, got it, already did? (so you can call this a re-run)
So you can call this a re-run
Critics wanna critic but I don’t need a reason (and I speak for myself)
And I speak for myself
Aint no thing making beats for myself (yo)
Rappers go crazy for my beats on the shelf
If I don’t feel the same then I leave em’ on the shelf (true dat’)
Confidence up (confidence), self esteem up (self esteem)
Got the tracks to make a DJ wheel up (come again)
Come again and just tear the dancehall up
I could never fall down so I’mma fall up!

Chorus: X2
