[male vocals] Yeah,
check
it
It’
s
a
long
road,
you
know?
But
the
sun
hits
different
when
you’
re
rising
Listen
It’
s
not
easy
being
a
man
in
the
pressure
cooker
Watching
bills
stack
up
like
a
crooked
hooker
Life
throws
jabs,
I’
m
trying
to
bob
and
weave
Got
a
hole
in
my
and
a
heart
on
my
sleeve
Walking
these
streets
where
the
pavement
cracks
Carrying
the
weight
of
the
world
on
my
back
My
mama
told
me
keep
your
head
to
the
sky
Don’
t
let
the
negativity
steal
your
high
I’
m
grinding
in
the
morning
while
the
city
sleeps
Planting
seeds
of
gold
where
the
struggle
creeps
It’
s
not
easy,
nah,
it’
s
a
heavy
toll
But
diamonds
only
form
when
you
lose
control
Rise
up,
even
when
the
wind
is
against
you
Keep
climbing,
let
the
strength
inside
convince
you
It’
s
not
easy
to
be
a
man,
but
watch
me
grow
From
the
bottom
of
the
trench
to
the
overflow
Yeah,
keep
pushing
till
the
clouds
break
clear
Turning
all
the
doubt
into
nothing
but
fear
Rise
up,
yeah,
I’
m
claiming
my
crown
This
hustle’
s
the
light
that’
s
burning
it
down
I
see
the
brothers
on
the
corner
just
losing
their
way
Trying
to
find
a
light
in
the
middle
of
the
grey
It’
s
a
cycle,
a
mental
trap,
a
locked
door
But
I’
m
building
my
own
key,
steady
wanting
more
I
put
the
work
in,
sweat
dripping
on
the
beat
Finding
rhythm
in
the
cold,
finding
soul
in
the
heat
You
want
a
legacy?
You
gotta
pay
the
cost
Calculate
the
wins,
don’
t
trip
on
what
you
lost
It’
s
not
easy,
man,
the
walls
closing
in
tight
But
I’
m
a
candle
flickering
in
the
darkest
night
I’
m
turning
pages,
changing
chapters
of
the
book
Giving
them
the
vision,
giving
them
the
look
Rise
up,
even
when
the
wind
is
against
you
Keep
climbing,
let
the
strength
inside
convince
you
It’
s
not
easy
to
be
a
man,
but
watch
me
grow
From
the
bottom
of
the
trench
to
the
overflow
Yeah,
keep
pushing
till
the
clouds
break
clear
Turning
all
the
doubt
into
nothing
but
fear
Rise
up,
yeah,
I’
m
claiming
my
crown
This
hustle’
s
the
light
that’
s
burning
it
down
Can
you
feel
the
shift? (
Yeah)
Can
you
feel
the
change? (
Uh-huh)
We
breaking
through
the
bars,
we
out
of
the
cage
Everything
I
fought
for,
it’
s
finally
here
Look
in
the
mirror,
see
the
vision
appear
It’
s
not
easy,
but
the
view
is
so
sweet
Standing
on
the
mountain,
no
longer
on
the
street
So
keep
the
faith
when
the
pockets
are
thin
It’
s
the
character
you
build
that’
s
the
ultimate
win
I’
m
a
man
of
my
word,
I’
m
a
man
of
the
craft
Building
up
the
ship
while
they
waiting
to
laugh
Let
'em
watch,
let
'em
stare,
let
'em
see
the
climb
I’
m
mastering
the
art,
I’
m
mastering
time
Not
easy,
never
was,
never
will
be
But
I’
m
the
pilot
of
this
ship,
I’
m
setting
it
free
Rise
up,
even
when
the
wind
is
against
you
Keep
climbing,
let
the
strength
inside
convince
you
It’
s
not
easy
to
be
a
man,
but
watch
me
grow
From
the
bottom
of
the
trench
to
the
overflow
Yeah,
keep
pushing
till
the
clouds
break
clear
Turning
all
the
doubt
into
nothing
but
fear
Rise
up,
yeah,
I’
m
claiming
my
crown
This
hustle’
s
the
light
that’
s
burning
it
down
Yeah,
keep
climbing
It’
s
not
easy,
but
it’
s
worth
it
Everything
you’
re
building
Yeah,
for
the
ones
that
never
stopped
From
the
bottom
to
the
top
Yeah,
keep
rising (
Fade
out
with
soul
loop)
