*Chorus:*
I'm on the rise, got my eyes on the prize
I won't apologize, I'll take it to the skies
I'm chasing my dreams, got my feet on the ground
I won't back down, I'll wear my crown
*Verse 1:*
Listen up y'all, I got a story to tell
'Bout a kid from the bottom, trying to do well
I was stuck in the struggle, but I never gave in
I kept grinding, kept pushing, till I started to win
*Verse 2:*
I'm a product of my environment, but I won't be held down
I'm breaking the mold, making my own way to the crown
I'm a rebel, a renegade, I'm taking the leap
I won't be ignored, I won't be asleep
*Verse 3:*
I'm on a mission, to make my mark on the game
I'm taking the stairs, not the elevator, I'm feeling no pain
I'm a warrior, a fighter, I'm taking the stand
I won't back down, I won't lose my grip on the plan
*Verse 4:*
I'm the voice of the voiceless, I'm speaking my mind
I'm taking the power back, I'm leaving the hate behind
I'm a leader, a trailblazer, I'm paving the way
I won't be silenced, I won't be held back another day
