Built To Rise

Yeah… They thought I was finished.

Thought I was gonna fold.

Thought the pressure was gonna break me.

Nah.

It made me stronger.

(Let’s get it.) I came from the bottom,

nobody gave me a chance,

Had a dream in my heart and a plan in my hands.

They were laughing at me,

I was making a stance,

Now I’m stepping in the room and I’m taking command.

I had nights where I questioned if I really could win,

Had to fight with myself just to get out my head.

Every loss that I took put some fire within,

Now I’m back on my grind and I’m chasing the bread.

I don’t care what they say,

I got something to prove,

Every step that I take got me closer to truth.

I was built for the pressure,

got nothing to lose,

If they open the door,

I’ma kick through the roof. (Yeah!)

(Kick through it!) (Uh!) (Let’s go!) I been down,

I been hurt, I been pushed to the edge,

But I never gave up,

I kept chasing instead.

Now the fire in my chest got me raising the stakes— They

can try to stop me… But I’m wide awake.

Can’t stop me, no,

you can’t stop me,

I came too far,

ain’t nobody gonna knock me.

Had to fight through the pain,

now I’m walking like a king,

Everything I ever wanted,

I’ma go and get the thing.

Can’t stop me, no,

you can’t stop me,

Even when they doubt,

they ain’t never gonna block me.

I got fire in my soul and a vision in my eyes,

I’ma keep going up ‘til I’m touching the sky.

(Can’t stop!) (Yeah!) (Going up!) (Uh!) I remember being broke,

had a dream and a phone,

Now I’m building my future,

I don’t need me a throne.

I was learning in silence,

had to do it alone,

Now they calling my name like they always been home.

Funny how they switch when they see you succeed,

Same people that doubted now they asking for a piece.

But I learned real quick who was really with me,

So I keep my circle small and I focus on the mission.

I don’t chase validation,

I chase what I believe,

I don’t need their approval for the life that I lead.

If I fall, I’ma rise,

if I lose, I’ma learn,

Every bridge that I cross got a lesson in return.

(Facts!) (I learned!)

(Never fold!) (Yeah!) I been down,

I been hurt, I been pushed to the edge,

But I never gave up,

I kept chasing instead.

Now the fire in my chest got me raising the stakes— They

can try to stop me… But I’m wide awake.

Can’t stop me, no,

you can’t stop me,

I came too far,

ain’t nobody gonna knock me.

Had to fight through the pain,

now I’m walking like a king,

Everything I ever wanted,

I’ma go and get the thing.

Can’t stop me, no,

you can’t stop me,

Even when they doubt,

they ain’t never gonna block me.

I got fire in my soul and a vision in my eyes,

I’ma keep going up ‘til I’m touching the sky.

They don’t know the nights that I stayed awake.

They don’t know the sacrifices that I had to make.

They only see the moment when you finally win… They never see

the battles that you had to fight within.

But I know.

I remember.

And that’s why…

I can’t stop now.

Now I’m moving like I got nothing left to prove,

Every day I wake up,

got another move. I don’t wait for the moment,

I create the room,

Put my name on the wall,

let ’em know I came through.

I started with a dream,

now I’m making it real,

Had to turn all the pressure into something I feel.

If the mountain gets higher,

I’ma climb that hill,

If they tell me it’s impossible— I’ma do it still.

Can’t stop me, no,

you can’t stop me,

I came too far,

ain’t nobody gonna knock me.

Had to fight through the pain,

now I’m walking like a king,

Everything I ever wanted,

I’ma go and get the thing.
