Rise from Struggle (motivate yourself)

Yeah,

we coming from the ground up.

Watch how we elevate.

Cold concrete where we played under street lamps Counting up the pennies

just to buy a few stamps Writing down my dreams in a

damp notebook page Planning out my exit from the system and cage

Now we rise, heavy eyes but we never fold Turning every story

from the block into gold.

We rise above the pavement line No more waiting,

it is our time to shine (yeah)

From the shadows into the light We took the struggle and we

won the fight

Used to watch the world spin from the fire escape

Plotting out a map,

redesigning the shape No hand-outs given,

we had to build the stairs Now we make the moves that

answer all of our prayers From the corner store to the executive

suite Still got the same hunger,

but we stand on our feet.

We rise above the pavement line No

more waiting, it is our time to shine (yeah)

From the shadows into the light

We took the struggle and we won the fight

Uh huh, yeah, yeah

One two, one two

In the place to be

With you and me

We made it out
