UPTOWN SAVAGES CYPHER

[INTRO — ZANTANA: FEMALE VOICE, Vocals]
Started in a room, now we dreamin’ of the stages
Uptown on our backs, but we thinkin’ global places
Piano on the floor, hear the city through the window
Made it out the quiet, now we turnin’ up the tempo
(Ayo, Zantana? Play that shit!)

[Verse 1 — RUBY | FAST RAP]
I was young with a plan, had the city on my mind
Had a notebook full of goals, every page was a sign
Me and Jaz in the room, tryna figure out the sound
Now the whole damn crew came and we holdin’ it down
Harlem raised me, taught me never wait for a chance
If the door ain’t open, kick the rhythm and dance
I remember late nights, everybody still awake
Talkin’ ‘bout the places that we someday wanna make
I don’t wanna see the world through somebody else’s lens
I wanna touch down overseas with the same day-one friends
From the block to the globe, yeah, that’s always been the mission
Every setback turned fuel, every loss came with vision
I keep calm when it’s loud, let the pressure fade away
Then I lock back in, turn tomorrow into today
We ain’t chase a little dream, we been aiming for the sky
Uptown Savages forever, watch us take it worldwide

[Verse 2 — OG | FAST RAP]
Look, I grew up watching grown folks work just to survive
So I learned real early what it meant to have a drive
Oldest in the bunch, had to carry my own weight
Now I’m building something bigger, I ain’t tryna show up late
I remember hearing beats through the walls at night
Now I’m hearing thousands scream when the timing feel right
Inwood to the world, put the city in my stride
Got my people in my corner, got my brothers by my side
I ain’t worried ‘bout a shortcut, I’ma earn every mile
Been through enough quiet years, now I’m giving noise a style
Passport full of stamps, yeah, I’m plotting every flight
Different city, different stage, same crew every night
When the pressure start climbing, I just breathe and take a minute
Clear my head, find the pocket, then I’m right back in it
We came up with ambition, now ambition got a name
UPTOWN SAVAGES — remember where we came

[Verse 3 — LOKO | FAST RAP]
I was posted with Ruby when the idea got born
Now we making something outta every night till the morn’
Harlem in the bloodstream, got the rhythm in my feet
Put the speakers in the room, now the room become the street
I don’t need a silver spoon, I got hunger in my chest
Every time they say “slow down,” I just take it as a test
We was dreaming in apartments, now we dreaming overseas
Tokyo, Paris, London, wherever the plane leaves
I wanna see my whole crew somewhere we never been
Take a picture at the top, then we go and do it again
I been learning how to chill when the world gets too loud
Take a step back, clear my head, then I’m back in the crowd
No fear in my plans, I’ma say it with my chest
If tomorrow bring a mountain, I’ma climb it with the rest
This ain’t just another cypher, this a chapter in the story
Started Uptown with a dream, now we headed for the glory

[Verse 4 — XAVI | FAST RAP]
Dyckman on the map, yeah, I carry that proudly
Started with a little room, now I’m thinking worldwide
I can switch with the beat, put the melody behind it
Different sound, different lane, still the same soul inside it
I remember talking dreams like they already were real
Now I’m turning all those thoughts into something you can feel
Quiero ver el mundo, con mi gente en el avión
From the Heights to every stage, that’s the plan, that’s the vision
No me quiten la calma, I been learning how to breathe
When the noise gets heavy, I just let the pressure leave
Then I come back focused, put my heart into the craft
Every line got a memory, every beat got a past
We were kids with big ideas, everybody had a dream
Now we’re building something real, making bigger than it seemed
From Uptown to the globe, let the whole world know the name
UPTOWN SAVAGES — we ain’t never been the same

[Outro — ZANTANA | Vocals]
Started with a sound, now the whole world hears us
Five different stories, but the same dream near us
From Uptown nights to wherever tomorrow takes us
We made it from a room — now watch the stages take us
