The Rise (Intro)

I'm back up in it
How's everybody doing its been a minute
Y'all know I couldn't miss it
The chance to tie up loose ends and talk to y'all like y'all was my close friends
I was seeing my mark and I knew I had to hit it
Yeah
I knew I had to risk it
I get on stage, spill my thoughts while they stand and listen
A goal of mine checked off, but its been months I'm getting back to the place that I left off
Its back to business
They don't have to listen
I just know I can't go back in the system, let off
With a warning, but I been involved with niggas that set off
A chain of reactions, bet on myself even if I was dead wrong
I had to finish
Yeah, I was up for a whole 24 faded and noticed
That nothing I put my time toward is worth it unless I'm focused
I'm here for life and I'm willing to bet my blessings on it

Why can't you see
Every track got my soul and essence on it
There's a beast called anxiety I been tryna tame
Maybe if you looked beneath the surface you'd see that I'm great
Everybody got they own demons they not eager to face
Everybody got they own story you don't need to relate to mine
But if you do then turn this up if you feeling my state of mind
I hope I find myself soon the future's depending on it

Why can't I be
The best that I can without them stepping on it
Its bad enough that I'm catching steam, I'm smelling the jealousy
While they over there singing they melodies
They know that I'm an enemy, my heart on my sleeve
Keep it real thats what I bleed, I know its hard to believe
Call me selfish, guess I just know what it costs to achieve
My biggest dreams, serving crack to the fiends, and I know I'm destined for it
