The Rise

[Verse 1]
Patiently waiting, don't be mistaking
My kindness for a weakness when it's not
You know what they say, that hard work pays someday
'Cause we are not the same, despite the many claims
Tried to push me this way, that way, I will never change
Finally feel that buzz, finally comin' up

[Chorus]
'Cause we've been on the rise
Now has come our time
And I can finally see that luck is only on our side
I look back and recall, wouldn't change a thing at all
'Cause we've been on the rise
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)

[Verse 2]
Remember all the talks we had?
All the times you made me mad?
The same thing every time, make a nigga lose his mind
At least I know how not to act
But thank God I learned in my life
Good things, they come in due time
And in time, I had to find my place
Try to catch up to me now, I'm in a different place
Finally feel that buzz, finally comin' up

[Chorus]
'Cause we've been on the rise
Now has come our time
And I can finally see that luck is only on our side
I look back and recall, wouldn't change a thing at all
'Cause we've been on the rise
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
