On the Rise

Verse

walkin through school, people point and they stare (watching)

they laugh and they smile, don't get caught in their snare (trapped)

they play up your feelings 'cause they don't care (don't care)

sit down, let me get you square, grab a chair (alright)

let me tell you 'bout my life and how it really isn't fair (uh-huh)

looking back at my life, I can see the flare (see it)

it's like a fire that's burning, got my emotions in a snare (got me)

tryna find my way out, but it's hard to bear (it's hard)

people talkin', whisperin', but they don't know I care (I care)

they think I'm tough, but deep down, I'm aware (I'm aware)

of the struggles I face, of the pain I must share (share it)

but I won't stop, won't stop, till I get to the top (top)

I'll keep on climbin', won't stop till I drop (drop)

my name is known, my fame is shown (shown)

and when I'm done, I'll be the one, all alone (all alone)

Chorus

yeah, yeah, I'm on the rise (on the rise)

yeah, yeah, got my eyes on the prize (prize)

I won't apologize, I won't compromise (no)

yeah, yeah, I'm on the grind, all the time (all the time)

yeah, yeah, I'm on the rise (on the rise)

yeah, yeah, got my eyes on the prize (prize)

I won't apologize, I won't compromise (no)

yeah, yeah, I'm on the grind, all the time (all the time)
