[Intro]
Yeah
Look
They wanna see me fall, huh? (nah)
Watch this
[Verse 1]
Came from the back of the back, now I’m front row center
Used to split one plate, now my worst meal’s dinner
They throw dirt on my name, I plant seeds in it
Turn shade to a forest, then I leave in it (skrrt)
They say “chill, you too loud”
I say “bet, bring a crowd”
Whole life on airplane mode
I still rose above the clouds
Told fear “move aside”, ego “you can ride”
Doubt talking cheap, I just left it on read every time
They pray I trip, I tap-dance on landmines
Walk through fire in all-white, come out prime
[Chorus]
I rise above it
Talk big, but they can’t touch it
Tried to drag me down in the mud, I
Turn that pressure to gold, yeah, I love it (woo)
I rise above it
Whole squad still screaming “trust it”
They throw stones, we build whole cities from it
You aim low, I rise above it (yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
They want smoke? I exhale contracts
Turn one “maybe” to a signed-on, run back
Turn one shot to a long run, comeback
Now my worst day their whole life, that’s tough facts
I don’t chase clout, I attract checks
If it ain’t legacy, then it’s bad text
If you want war, better pack vests
I kill doubt in me first, that’s self-defense (boom)
I was counting coins, now I count on me
They were counting me out, now they count the streams
I don’t brag, I brief
Just give orders to the old me, tell it “stand at ease”
Took every L, made a logo
Turn every “oh no” to an “I told you so”
Put my pain on a promo
Now they quote my worst bar like it’s YOLO (crazy)
[Chorus]
I rise above it
Talk big, but they can’t touch it
Tried to drag me down in the mud, I
Turn that pressure to gold, yeah, I love it
I rise above it
Whole squad still screaming “trust it”
They throw stones, we build whole cities from it
You aim low, I rise above it (rise above, rise above)
[Bridge]
They say “pipe down”
I say “right now?”
If I dim this light
Who gon’ guide this crowd?
Turn my worst nights
To my best lines (yeah)
Turn their cheap shots
To my headline
[Chorus]
I rise above it
Talk big, but they can’t touch it
Tried to drag me down in the mud, I
Turn that pressure to gold, yeah, I love it
I rise above it
Whole squad still screaming “trust it”
They throw stones, we build whole cities from it
You aim low, I rise above it (rise above, rise above)
