[Chorus: RoZe]

I told myself I don't need no help

I can do this all on my own (all on my own)

Just give me time, 'cause I'm gon' shine

As soon as I'm in my zone (I'm in my zone)

You thought I'd fail, but I prevailed

I guess that I proved you wrong (yeah)

So the next time I cross your mind

Or when you hear my song

Put your hands up

(Put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up)

Put your hands up

(Put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up)

Put your hands up

(Put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up)

Put your hands up

(Put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, yeah)

Put your hands up

[Verse 1: Abstract]

Watchin' MTV

Dreaming 'bout a cypher up on BET

Tell my mom that's me, sittin' VIP

A-Team worldwide till I D-I-E

Cause T-H-E-Y never believed in I

Trying to belittle my riddles and bring me down, they tried

Always knew I'd rise if I just stuck to my mind

They trying to see if I'm strong enough, kept my weapons inside

Kept honesty on my tongue; kept that smoke in my lungs

This ain't 2008, my family lacking in funds

Tryna go out and get it and put you back where it was

And I know I can do it, thousands been showin' me love

Life tried to change me, arrange me, erase me from who I am

Always been a creative, I'll make it, this was the plan

Life fell apart so my future could fall together

Shoutout to my broken heart, who knew you would make me better?

[Chorus: RoZe]

I told myself I don't need no help

I can do this all on my own (all on my own)

Just give me time, 'cause I'm gon' shine

As soon as I'm in my zone (I'm in my zone)

You thought I'd fail, but I prevailed

I guess that I proved you wrong (yeah)

So the next time I cross your mind

Or when you hear my song

Put your hands up

(Put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up)

Put your hands up

(Put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up)

Put your hands up

(Put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up)

Put your hands up

(Put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, yeah)

Put your hands up

[Verse 2: Abstract]

Swear I'm tryna get a Grammy

Dedicated to my granny

Just so this could make a little sense to my family

Explainin' what my plan is, they got trouble understanding

Explaining what I do got me explaining the internet

"So you give this out for free? Son, you should be cashing checks"

Ain't that simple, this the world of digital, DatPiffable

Get a fanbase behind you, or it could be pivotal

These days music has never been more competitive

Compare me to myself, 'cause I don't fuck with comparisons

You wanna be the next what? Find that shit embarrassing

Aim to be the best you, that's what all the legends did

Shoutout to Dylan, John Lennon, Kurt, Big, Pac and Hendrix

Nas, Em, Ye, Jay, all I didn't mention

It's a long road, but I'm fightin' for the top

Hope one day to be included in those names I dropped

[Chorus: RoZe]

I told myself I don't need no help

I can do this all on my own (all on my own)

Just give me time, 'cause I'm gon' shine

As soon as I'm in my zone (I'm in my zone)

You thought I'd fail, but I prevailed

I guess that I proved you wrong (yeah)

So the next time I cross your mind

Or when you hear my song

Put your hands up

(Put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up)

Put your hands up

(Put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up)

Put your hands up

(Put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up)

Put your hands up

(Put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, yeah)

[Outro: RoZe]

I told myself I don't need no help

I can do this all on my own

Just give me time, cause I'm gon' shine

As soon as I'm in my zone

You thought I'd fail, but I prevailed

I guess that I proved you wrong

So the next time I cross your mind

Or when you hear my song

Put your hands up
