Watch Me Rise

Verse 1

Started with a cracked phone and a bus pass

Mum's rent due and the cupboards looking half empty

Ran the roads while the boys were still sleeping

Stacked it up quiet while they talked like they knew me

Told my younger self keep your head down

Work the block till the stars came around

Saw the fake smiles every time I wore the crown

Now they ring my line but I don't make a sound

Pre-Chorus

Hands dirty from the pavement

Eyes sharp from the patience

Turned the struggle to a statement

Yeah you get what you take and

Chorus

Went from nothing to everything watch me

Came up from the bottom and they hate it

Pulled myself out of the grave daily

Now I'm eating good and they can't save me

Went from nothing to everything watch me

Watch me

Watch me

Post-Chorus

Rise rise rise

From the dirt to the skies

Rise rise rise

Yeah they see it in my eyes

Verse 2

Two jobs and a dream was the standard

Grey block corridors where my chapters got handled

Every closed door just lit up my candle

Now they want the story but I don't do samples

Flip it like a coin when the stakes get higher

Cold heart in the trench you can feel the fire

Moved through the smoke when the streets got dire

Every scar on my skin took me one step higher

Pre-Chorus

Hands dirty from the pavement

Eyes sharp from the patience

Turned the struggle to a statement

Yeah you get what you take and

Chorus

Went from nothing to everything watch me

Came up from the bottom and they hate it

Pulled myself out of the grave daily

Now I'm eating good and they can't save me

Went from nothing to everything watch me

Watch me

Watch me

Post-Chorus

Rise rise rise

From the dirt to the skies

Rise rise rise

Yeah they see it in my eyes

Bridge

They doubted the vision

Now the vision's a mission

Same block same roads

But a different edition

Taught me the code

Now I'm breaking the mould

Young king on my own

Watch the story unfold

Chorus

Went from nothing to everything watch me

Came up from the bottom and they hate it

Pulled myself out of the grave daily

Now I'm eating good and they can't save me

Went from nothing to everything watch me

Watch me

Watch me
