On the Rise Lyrics

I got my eye on the prize

And I gotta get it

Living a wonderful life

I gotta admit it

I'm thanking God for the moments I felt like the doors wouldn't open

I faced opposition

But no matter what I kept going

Cause I couldn't shake off the feeling that things would be different

If I just kept moving

Now look where I'm at

Aint it funny how easy it is to be grateful when you looking back

And seeing the places you came from

I aint have much

But I gained from

All the misfortune and bad situations

That tested my faith and exhausted my patience

I'm striving for greatness

So yeah there's been bumps in the road

But that didn't alter my goals

I knew I could take it

As far as I wanted to go

I felt that shit in my soul

When I was a child

I remember I often was told

Youngin' you reap what you sow

Took that to heart

And now that I'm older I know

Wisdom is better than gold

It gave me everything I needed to show

I was ready to take over the show

Now I'm ready to take over the globe

The boy got the glow

Don't know if you know

Now I'm on the scene

Bout to make a scene

Cause I know they never seen me before

On to better things

On to bigger dreams

Getting hard to keep my feet on the floor

Now I'm on the rise

Like the sun in morning

I told 'em I got it

I gave 'em a warning

Now I'm taking everything that I wanted

So don't be surprised

I been ahead of the game

Y'all gone remember the name

Cause I don't do nothing the same

Now I'm on the rise

Like the sun in morning

I told 'em I got it

I gave 'em a warning

Now I'm taking everything that I wanted

So don't be surprised

I been ahead of the game

Y'all gone remember the name

Cause I don't do nothing the same

Let it fade out til the beat end

I jumped in the deep end

They told me that I'd sink

I showed 'em that I swim

Let it fade out til the beat end

I jumped in the deep end

They told me that I'd sink

I showed em that I swim
