Rei - Up2

Verse 1

I do not know
Why they think I'm someone to
Lie to my bro
Stay in your lane man you should just
Try cruise control
Cuz if you bet against me you might lose your soul
these fellas like umbrellas they try shade my glow
Swear these fellas full time with the talkman
Talk man since before I had a walkman
Before I knew how to talk man
Fore I moved up to auckland
Ya girl told me that you’re coming up short man
Cuz you’re always coming up short man
And None of this is by chance This was all planned

Chorus

Up to my bro
Yo what you been up to my bro
Me and the tribe been going up too my bro
If you ain’t with us then it's fuck you my bro
My bro my bro
Up to my bro
I been putting work in an that's just true my bro
Me and the tribe been going up too my bro
If you ain’t with us then it's fuck you my bro my bro my bro

Verse 2

They may not yet know
How I was buying my shit from Savemart my bro
Cruising out to P town had my first blaze up on the stove
Now I ain't no rapper guess I just make art my bro my bro
They keep saying that it can't be done until we do it
Shit make me wanna lose it
Got this hidden weapon and I Ain't afraid to use it
Cuz I gave em all the blue print
Now they got me singing all my blues through the music
I chase goals while these fellas chase girls all day all night it's amusing
But they still alone like students

Chorus

Verse 3 (Lij)

Ain’t it funny
Everybody want to see me now I got a little bit of fame
Little bit of credit to my name inbox full of texts saying well done my friend
I knew that you’d make it been there since the very first day that you picked up a mic
Yeah right, you thought I was crazy and you stopped talking to me out of spite
Despite the fact that I’ve been getting my game down pat
Don’t forget that people be paying in cash to hear me rap
I’ve been putting in work, where you been
Popping and drinking with all your friends
I wish you the best, but homie I ain’t that impressed when you say...
Chorus

Bridge

I been putting work in work in
I been putting work in work in
Late nights and I'm working working
I can't chill cuz I'm working
I can't hang cuz I'm working
I been putting work in work in
I been putting work in work in
I been putting work in I been practising practising practising
ten thousand hours and back again and back again
so tell me tell me tell me tell me woooah

Outro
Man what do you know about putting in that mahi
That mahi rangatira, you know that chief work
Like I bet you think this shit come easy eh, māmā noa iho
Engari kao.
So tell me what you really been up to..
