[Chorus]
Do I think that I'm on the rise? I do
Do I think that I will survive? I do
Do you know that I'm in your mind? You will
Do I make myself by design? I do
[Verse 1]
Take a look and just read the facts
At how I make my move, but don't leave my pad
Tell me, "man, just wait your turn"
But fame is something no one earns
People change but stay the same
You think you know 'em, but you barely ain't
Truth and lie is like night and day
So very close, but so far away
Don't cross my path if you stabbed my back
'Cause after that, I might stab you back
Strike me wrong and you light the match
I'll hit you back with my mic in hand
Don't ask me who makes the rules
'Cause I abide and so do you
Morе to say? I think I do
So listen here and listеn good
[Chorus]
Do I think that I'm on the rise? I do
Do I think that I will survive? I do
Do you know that I'm in your mind? You will
Do I make myself by design? I do
Do I plan to tear up the game? I do
Do I plan to ignite the flame? I do
Do you know what I've overcame? You will
And do I have much more to gain? I do
[Verse 2]
I've said some things that I didn't mean
Broke some things I couldn't fix
Maybe I could've intervened
But slipped right through my fingertips
Nothing's right anymore
Friends just left me dead on the floor
On the rise and then I fall
But music's here right through it all
Reinventin' myself, forget all the people who said go to hell
Instead I'ma better my life and my health
A grudge to hold is nothin' but guilt
If I went back to yesterday
Bet your ass I wouldn't change a thing
Life is one big mystery, we all go down in history
Now, I snap like an animal
Take out my rage on you bitches, collateral
Stick a grenade in your mouth and then let it go
Picture my name with the greats now it's factual
I spent my life on this shit!
I lost myself in the light of this bitch!
I'd stop myself from findin' this bitch!
I go back, stay back, hide from this bitch
If you know what I'm talkin' bout
Someone just comes up and fucks up your life around
I had my people, my friends were my light and now
Stuck in the theatre and all of the lights are out
But ever since rap was happenin', I took that rage and
Ran my laps and now I'm back and back in action
Now, I look back at the past, I'm laughin'
[Chorus]
Do I think that I'm on the rise? I do
Do I think that I will survive? I do
Do you know that I'm in your mind? You will
Do I make myself by design? I do
Do I plan to tear up the game? I do
Do I plan to ignite the flame? I do
Do you know what I've overcame? You will
And do I have much more to gain? I do
