The Rise

They say I'm on the rise Talking to Z93 Getting air time Now I'm in the hot seat Making all these moves before you can even blink Say I'm in this for life I mean what did you think? I do it for the fam I do it for my lady I do it for the crew I do it for my city Talk isn't cheap an neither is life So I'm working hard to keep the lights on at night I got a dollar an a dream but there's a fee to the scheme Been working 9 to 5 just to make ends meet Never stop working when I get home I'm on the beats Like a time bomb I know I'll Blowup eventually I'm on the rise, I'm on the rise Ain't no surprise I'm reaching up for the skies Gotta visualize Got my eyes on the prize I'm on the rise yeah, I'm on the rise Can't remember a day that I wasn't working hard I've been wanting this my whole life They disregard Who cares if I got passion and ambition for days They want the guy mumbling bout smacking a ho up in the face I started at a young age but like fine wine I seem to only be getting better with time I lay bar for bar like brick by brick call me Will Smith Like a Fresh Prince I'm rising up When it comes to the dream I can't get enough They know I'm bout to pop off I throw these bars like they Molotovs When the team needs help I'm who they call upon This that shit they put me on Rise up call me Genghis Khan I'm on the rise, I'm on the rise Ain't no surprise I'm reaching up for the skies Gotta visualize Got my eyes on the prize I'm on the rise yeah, I'm on the rise Self Made haven't been the same since Same name but it's time to jump the fence Time to change the game Break these damn chains Don't wanna be 30 still in my parent's basement Taking one step at a time I call that new placement Nothing more precious than time Make sure to take it If I could travel back for one day I'd make it Once that baby hits 88 then I'm racing Heart be pounding when I'm doing what I love everyday It's a passion to me they say my name in vein It's so easy to hate when you're stuck in one place Only on the rise catch me going outta space I'm on the rise, I'm on the rise Ain't no surprise I'm reaching up for the skies Gotta visualize Got my eyes on the prize I'm on the rise yeah, I'm on the rise
