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
