Deitrick Haddon - From The Ground Up Lyrics

My old G said D don't let them break ya The gospel industry is business don't let them fake ya One day they love you the next day they will hate ya Just remember they didn't make ya

Don't forget those day you had to walk alone Some started with you then they were gone Promise me you'll never stop singing your songs Just believe in you and God alone

From the ground up Coming from the ground up Momma kept us in church That's how we came up Streets knew my name But it wasn't bout the fame Just a Detroit soldier Coming from the ground up

Coming from the ground up Coming from the ground up Coming from the ground up

Keep your head up when people let you down And don't let pride lift you off the ground And always keep the real ones around Cause they gon' have your back if all goes down Listen to me now We came from nothing but look at us now It was God that made a ways somehow

From the ground up Coming from the ground up Momma kept us in church That's how we came up Streets knew my name But it wasn't bout the fame Just a Detroit soldier Coming from the ground up

I grew up in Detroit city My beginning was humble Had to get it out the mud Man my hood was a jungle And I could have crumbled up from all the pressure I was raised in Hallelujah his grace is so amazing Mom's prayed for me that was good looking Plus she laced me with the game I call that momma's cooking Detroit to L.A. ain't gotta brag now We started from the bottom but your boys got the bag now

Love lift me up pick me up from off the ground When my friends are nowhere to be found Love lift me up, love lift me up love lift me up

From the ground up Coming from the ground up Momma kept us in church That's how we came up Streets knew my name But it wasn't bout the fame Just a Detroit soldier Coming from the ground up

Coming from the ground up Coming from the ground up That's where we're coming from Coming from the ground up Coming from the ground up That's where we're coming from

Coming from the ground up Coming from the ground up That's where we're coming from Coming from the ground up Coming from the ground up That's where we're coming from
