Watch Me Rise

[Intro]
Yeah
They talked a lot, huh
Look at me now
(ha)
[Verse 1]
They said I’d never be nothing
Same mouths still talk, still bluffing
Same school desk, same hand-me-downs
Same kid they clowned now run this town
I remember those nights, cold kitchen
Mama prayed while they laughed at my vision
Wrote plans on the back of receipts
Turned every little L to a beast
[Chorus]
All my life they doubted me
Now they gotta watch me rise
Teeth on edge when they see my name
Hate in they blood, dead in they eyes
All my life they talked that talk
Now they gotta choke on pride
You ain’t built this, you just watched
Stay mad, I’mma watch you slide (watch me rise)
[Verse 2]
You was pointing at the dirt on my shoes
I was plotting on the dirt in my views
Digging out pain, making gold from the bruises
You was scrolling, talking, posting excuses
I took every “you can’t” to the chin
Turned every back turned to a win
Now your new favorite word is “remember”
But my heart got cold last December (yeah)
[Chorus]
All my life they doubted me
Now they gotta watch me rise
Teeth on edge when they see my name
Hate in they blood, dead in they eyes
All my life they talked that talk
Now they gotta choke on pride
You ain’t built this, you just watched
Stay mad, I’mma watch you slide (watch me rise)

rap, Aggressive trap beat built on detuned bells and ominous pads, chest-rattling 808s and sharp hi-hats. Male vocals, angry and upfront with slight distortion; verses in a tight, double-time pocket. Hook explodes with layered shouts and ad-libs, subbass slams harder and risers build tension into each drop. Short, punishing arrangement aimed straight at live shows and car systems.
