[Verse]
Sun crackin' dawn, my mind like a diamond mine
Dust on the crown, still I shine every time
Royal blood in my veins, I sip gold in my tea
Scroll through the scrolls, hieroglyphs all on my feed
Ancestors whisper, they laced up my spirit boots
Warrior stance, I’m stompin’ through forbidden roots
From pyramids to projects, same struggle, same genes
Still we rise, Grand Rising Kings and Queens
[Chorus]
Grand rising, the sun gon' beam
Heavy is the head, but we chase our dreams
Grand rising, the throne supreme
Crown on the soul, keep it crisp and clean
[Verse 2]
Grit in my teeth, I bite through the bitter fruit
Thorns on the path, but the roses still salute
Palms to the sky, let the blessings rain down
Gold on my aura, I’m the jewel in the crown
Haters throwin' shade, but I bask in the light
Midnight struggles, but I fight 'til it's bright
We don’t break, nah, we mold from the pressure
Royal decree, we the rulers, no lesser
[Chorus]
Grand rising, the sun gon' beam
Heavy is the head, but we chase our dreams
Grand rising, the throne supreme
Crown on the soul, keep it crisp and clean
