Which Way Is Up - Chubb Rock

Which way is up in fact where am I 
I think I made a little dough and they say I'm fly 
But am I? Am I? "Yeah" 
I'm I'm so fly why do I wear this gear 
Clothes don't make the man it's the other way around 
I live by this and I'm still platinum bound 
Mistakes were definitely made in the past 
Friendship contracts thrown in the trash 
The guilt is not enough to tilt the game 
Perseverance preserves the grame 
Of an unusual talent with gallant views 
Mimicked by other crews 
The first attempt gets exempty 
The royalty about 38 minus 8 and a quarter percent 
For taxes point seven damn cents 
Hence financial failure -- musical uplift 
The depression didn't result in draw of a spliff 
The production of the LP great by the hands of HT 
Well appreciated G 
Family bonds loosen then gone 
Emotional debris contains memories tranquil and calm 
Future seems to predict the Forbes state of being rich 
But never switch Rich 
But which way is up 
The Webstorial monarch sparks once more 
The beginning of a world wide tour 
My show is fine, no props like last time 
No visual effects on the rough set 
Debuting hey portrait hard work 
Fame ain't about chasing a damn skirt 
And if I chase a skirt it'll be my own 
And if not let me cast the first stone 
The blood puddles paramedics on the double 
Production huddles journalists write rebuttals 
The question is he the best is he 
Can't get an interview because he's too busy 
No spotlight only concentrating on the duckets 
Duckets to fill pails and buckets 
The Chubbster, the one, the man who is flowing 
If I get flam and change the pitch like Ryan Nolan 
The undiscovered country is where I am going <
