Verse 1:
I was up in the hood
Down at my boys house
It was the summer time
When everyone would hang out
Down at the corner store
We had the best of times
Yellin' bingo at every card that came to mind
I know that I have been trained
And I wanted them to believe
That I was gonna make it
Chorus:
From the bottom to the top
I got up
M-I-A is where I stay
From the bottom to the top
I got up
M-I-A
Verse 2:
It happened so fast
I can't believe at last
I headed to the A-T-L just to hear the sound
To go with Dallas and
He had a record plan
That JT Money was aimin' to put Miami back
I knew that I had been trained
And I wanted them to believe
That I was gonna make it
Chorus:
From the bottom to the top
I got up
(4 times)
Verse 3:
(JT Money)
I'm from the city where the bass drop
Where the girls in the temperature stay hot
That bottom where the bass game started
An' them girls shake they thang whole-hearted
M-I-A, baby
48 karats
Straight thug an' it don't be happenin'
Old school on the fish and the chumps
Lettin' out playin' old school funk
Big Sammie put it down for the bottom
Fly honeys want money we got em'
What you know about that Miami heat, huh
Find hot street wear all in the street
A place where the old stuff retreat
Where they move to an up tempo beat
Never sleep
You know this thang don't stop
Sammie comin' from the bottom ,straight to the top
Fo' sho'
