Official Lyrics:

1st Verse:
It’s like when I grip the mic
All I do is swing at strikes
See, you and me, we are not alike

You’re a mac and I’m a PC
Opposites in this industry
When I’m in the zone, I am finally free eh
No body
Will ever work as hard as me

Working hard, saving for a dream
Losing my self-esteem

Me and my fiancé are a team
Out here plotting a new scheme

Now I know it’s been a minute
I’ll admit
But I’m back on my shit

Scheming, daydreaming
Just caught in my feelings
They come and go like the seasons

Going back and forth, trying to find the urge to write
I see the spark in sight
But how do you paint the picture when you only see black and white?

So I got engaged
And now I trace the lines on the page
And erase the rhymes filled with rage
And embrace the girl waiting for me back stage

Damn man
I missed this feeling
Tried to bottle it but I missed the meaning
Tried to write all my demons
But I’m still breathing
Under water, under the ceiling
Inside my home, they are still feeding
Off my heart, internally bleedin’
Now I keep seeing
And hearing
Voice of reason
Trying to tell me to give up, to stop dreaming
It’s got me sleeping
On my work, freezing
On the mic, while I write, needing
More to this game than I thought, leaving
The past behind but losing my entire being
So now I’m cleaning out my closet
I met the love of my life
She told me don’t stop believing

So, I’ve been doing me
I’ve been writing free
Yeah, doing what’s meant to be

Riding around with my queen
Pulling up in a limousine
On my way to the silver screen
I’m off the meds, I’m finally clean

And I visualize
Life neutralized
And I realized
This is “the rise”

In the middle of the night
I found my way to the light
So now I write
About all the demons I used to fight

Yeah, the worst is over, yeah I survived
Happy to say that I feel good inside
I’ve killed the thought of suicide
I’m back, yeah I revived

And now looking back in retrospect
I guess I did resurrect

As an artist
It was in the days that were the darkest
That I started to harness
My love and rise above the darkness

Like a phoenix from the ashes
I had to burn, to find my passion
Now it’s movie magic
Lights, camera, action

You only get one life, so now I’m down to the wire
Soaring higher
In pursuit of setting my soul on fire

I'm following my destiny
By giving the world the best of me
This divine design is my human supremacy
So like the phoenix, I’m back to leave my legacy
