[Verse 1]
This that feeling of getting closer to things that you dreamed you achieve
The mud in the slums thick chances slim u succeed I mean
On the mission keep the money on ya mind
Don't let ya dealings wit b**hes interfere wit ya grind
My shine can't be blocked by no hater
My aura is so flavor Life's like a dice game so I blow shakers and Head crack
Merch, twerk, and music bread stack
Need someone I can build wit paradise where ha head at
Refuse to go my whole life my not seeing the world
There got to be more fiends and d**hs of the boys girls
Or hearing a n***a scream from heat from hot shells
Crazy we stomach it you soft you prolly earl
You lost I wish you well
A corp, music, or scales
A boss in the makin never fakin I will prevail
Jail heaven or hell is our options
The strong survive strive to keep living out your dreams keep rising
[Hook]
"Besides the money cars and bad b!#%€ galore
I do it for the gz wit time behind the wall
I do it for those resting they souls and ain't here to see
And most importantly for my family
Bare witness to the rising of a star
I do it cuz was blessed this gift is from above
I do it for the love and so the world can see
Another black man living like royalty
Gotta rise above"
[Verse 2: Pharaoh Z]
Like a Phoenix or a Dove
That hater sh** is a dub
Show me love show me love
From the slums but we headed where it's sandy
Glad that we still on plan A cus only b**hes take the plan b
Peel off in a lambi
But this is for my n***as in a camry
Ambitions of a grammy
Go ham til I pull hammy
Overseers overseeing over cities over seas
Understand me
I wanna ball like jabar
Get the cream
Hooking these b**hes I need them liras galore
But there's a bigger picture that I'm pursuing it for
My n***as behind the wall
And all the souls that are lost
That's the sh** that should feed us
Never will they defeat us
You been a leader since fetus
Believe it you are a genius my n***as
So keep your head high eyes up
Chips down, wise up
Come around rise above
[Hook]
"Besides the money cars and bad b!#%€ galore

[Verse 3]
The cost to be a boss the work for success
Overtime on the grind I invest then finesse
All money in been the plan making sense
Making change makin shorties wet then make em make a mess
I Do this to the d**h just to live the fullest
Break thru the whole door f** try a get a foot in
Get out what u put in
Flow raw no cookin
You would think I got plugs from Cuba getting that good in
They tried but they couldn't never bring me down
Same ones when u up got u on speed dial
When u call out they bluff when's they act senile
The picture done developed
I bet they startna see now
Mean while I maintain the same focus measuring my pace
I pick up the tempo to get rid of the roaches
And the same goes for these lame hoes
I'm tryna rise above we ain't got the same goals
