Leveled Up

I took the risk so they can't say I never tried
Put in work stood by my word they can't say I ever lied
Fire burning all inside you can see it in my eyes
They can't say I never worked I'm out here pushing til' I die aye

Working hard it shows like Malone been on the road
Spark the fire make it glow now I can never slow
Leveled up to a pro from all the nights I never lost hope
Stood by my approach, leveled up now we on the way to blow

Leveled up from all the nights I wrestled with the thought
"Is this really meant for me or worth a shot with the pencil?"
I've been up awake on the pedal
I've been wrestling with the devil, told me
"You ain't good for nothing, go and settle
With the cards that you got, ain't special"
Jacked in the head got problems mentally
Tryna keep me up in this kennel
In bed awake, never restful
And the voice stuck in my head ain't helpful
Living with the feeling that I gotta be the best
While I stay putting everything I gotta do to rest
Lacking inspiration, procrastinating and not creating
While I been stuck in isolation
Maybe I need a vacation but yet I won't, too much work to do
Got an album to drop, a career to move
This year took a leap really have improved
But lately been moving hella slow
Keep hitting these lows, keep hindering growth
It's a part of this road but apart from this road
Can't fathom any other route, gotta stick to the code
Gotta stick to the plan ain't got no options
Climbing out the bottom and I ain't come to bargain
I'm breaking in it's official, cock back the pistol aiming at will
And the instrumental getting shot and killed on the spot no drill
Here to take the slot ain't no doubt I will

I took the risk so they can't say I never tried
Put in work stood by my word they can't say I ever lied
Fire burning all inside you can see it in my eyes
They can't say I never worked I'm out here pushing til' I die aye

Working hard it shows like Malone been on the road
Spark the fire make it glow now I can never slow
Leveled up to a pro from all the nights I never lost hope
Stood by my approach, leveled up now we on the way to blow

Now I been on the way to blow up
From every night I pushed through and showed up
When I was stuck and I had to grow up
Soon it'll be my time to glow up
Back in the lab and that's where I'm staying
Foot on the gas, they think I'm playing
But I'm popping off, my dues I'm paying
And I'm taking off before they laying me
And my corpse in the dirt, that's why I work
Curb-stomping the beat, they gon' hear my words
Even through the hurt I know it could be worse
Now I know my worth so I'm coming for
That first place, til' I'm in a wraith
Ain't dropping the race, ain't stopping the chase
Til' I'm in the grave I'ma keep the faith, I'ma keep the pace
Cause I remember all the days that I was down and out
Without an ounce of energy drowned in my doubt
While the voices shouting in my ear getting loud
And a cloud of darkness over my head
And I couldn't get em' out and I couldn't break out
Break out this rut, but that door is shut and now
I ain't looking back cause I'm moving up
Want me to back down but I ain't never gon' budge
I can't fumble when they watching, album only thing I'm dropping
It's my time ain't never stopping
It's my time off the bench I'm hopping
"Danon Rowe" remember the name, I'm done waiting it's my time to reign
Clip loading, I'm taking aim
Taking my shot, now I'm in the game cause I

Took the risk so they can't say I never tried
Put in work stood by my word they can't say I ever lied
Fire burning all inside you can see it in my eyes
They can't say I never worked I'm out here pushing til' I die aye

Working hard it shows like Malone been on the road
Spark the fire make it glow now I can never slow
Leveled up to a pro from all the nights I never lost hope
Stood by my approach, leveled up now we on the way to blow
