What goes up must come down
Easy come, easy go
What goes up must come down
Easy come, easy go
What goes up must come down
Easy come, easy go
What goes up must come down
Easy come, easy go
Up and down, up and down, that's what it's all about
Now, good and bad times are comin' and goin' like rhymes
A pocket full of dirt, you're fattin' them because you're platinum
Everything is worth from kicks to clothes to cars to castings
'Nuff respect or bluff, you hang tough
Livin' unaware the flip side is rough
Willin' to snuff anyone who falls victim
Strip 'em of their fortune and spend it, have it, kick 'em
Treein' out before it wasn't thought about
Never had a dime, any little bit is clout
Record company as happy as can be until the
Album drops and you're smash hits the sea
People at the company won't even grin no more
Instead they bend, so you can kiss where it ends, yo
Well ran dry, you can't sum a fraction
Here's what it's called: elevator action
What goes up must come down
Easy come, easy go
What goes up must come down
Easy come, easy go
What goes up must come down
Easy come, easy go
What goes up must come down
Easy come, easy go
On the streets gettin' stopped by my supporters
I won't say fans 'cause, hey, I ain't no star
Credit is due to all those who went and bought it
Because they're the ones who placed us where we are
Can't say friends 'cause when the happy days end
Most of those supporters would rather not blend
In with the rapper who once upon a time
Kicked the rhymes that made the fat man dance thin
For now I'm straight, but what about tomorrow?
Anyone can bleed and not take it in heed
I spend a little, save a little, livin' in the middle
Fall on one side and I'm outta luck, bust up
Watchin' my step 'cause every little step is deadly
Make the wrong move and I'm cream to the dream
One minute I'm busy, then I'm relaxin'
This ain't the life, it's elevator action
What goes up must come down
Easy come, easy go
What goes up must come down
Easy come, easy go
What goes up must come down
Easy come, easy go
What goes up must come down
Easy come, easy go
Back on your feet, another hit record
Now let's see if he puts the smarts in effect
Huh? Nope, same old thing
Another new car and a big chain on your neck
Dishin' out the vapors from when you hit the canvas
Life's like candy when you're sittin' on top
But how many licks does it take for you to get
To the center of a big time block like pop?
One too many and you took a plenty
So play no dumb 'cause you did it before
Ten years later you're no longer entertainin'
Now take a look at what you had in store
Not a penny to fall back on, nickel to stumble over
Dime to hit your head, no quarter to bring you closer
It's no fun on skid row when your dough
Used to flow by the stacks and elevator action
What goes up must come down
Easy come, easy go
What goes up must come down
Easy come, easy go
What goes up must come down
Easy come, easy go
What goes up must come down
Easy come, easy go
Easy come, easy go
Easy come, easy go
Easy come, easy go
Easy come, easy go
What goes up must come down
Easy come, easy go
What goes up must come down
Easy come, easy go
