On the Rise

I got my eye on the prize And I gotta get it Living a wonderful life I gotta admit 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
