[Verse 1] Woke up in the basement, roaches on the floor Mama working doubles just to keep us off the door Stomach always empty, fridge was always bare But I swore on everything I'd get us out of there Notebooks full of verses, dreams bigger than the block While they were selling powder, I was selling every thought Teachers said I wouldn't make it past the age of twenty-one Now I'm counting blessings, man, I'm stacking every one Late nights, cold sweats, grinding through the pain They were sleeping on me, now they screaming out my name Used to walk to work, now I'm riding in the foreign Every scar I carry got a story, never boring [Chorus] I rise and shine, yeah, I'm taking what's mine Left the doubters in the dust, now I'm crossing every line From the bottom to the top, watch me climb, watch me climb I rise and shine, it's my moment, it's my time I rise and shine, yeah, the hunger never dies Turned my losses into lessons, turned my pain into the prize From the gutter to the gold, watch me shine, watch me shine I rise and shine, and I'm never gonna hide [Verse 2] They tried to box me in, I broke through every wall Said I'd never be nothing, now I'm standing ten feet tall Every "no" I heard became the fuel inside my chest Every door that slammed just pushed me harder than the rest I remember cold nights, sleeping on my cousin's couch Now the crib got six rooms and my family's figured out That the kid they overlooked is now the one they wanna know Funny how the love comes when you finally start to glow I don't do this for the fame, I do it for the ones Who got the same fire burning, loading up their guns Metaphorically speaking, we just aiming at our dreams Taking shots until we hit it, nothing's ever what it seems [Chorus] I rise and shine, yeah, I'm taking what's mine Left the doubters in the dust, now I'm crossing every line From the bottom to the top, watch me climb, watch me climb I rise and shine, it's my moment, it's my time I rise and shine, yeah, the hunger never dies Turned my losses into lessons, turned my pain into the prize From the gutter to the gold, watch me shine, watch me shine I rise and shine, and I'm never gonna hide [Bridge] Look at where I started, look at where I'm at Turned a dollar to a million, brought the whole team back Every struggle was a lesson, every loss was just a test Now I'm standing at the summit, yeah, I'm feeling truly blessed They can't stop what's destined, they can't dim what's bright I was built for this pressure, I was made for this fight [Chorus] I rise and shine, yeah, I'm taking what's mine Left the doubters in the dust, now I'm crossing every line From the bottom to the top, watch me climb, watch me climb I rise and shine, it's my moment, it's my time I rise and shine, yeah, the hunger never dies Turned my losses into lessons, turned my pain into the prize From the gutter to the gold, watch me shine, watch me shine I rise and shine, and I'm never gonna hide [Outro] Yeah, I rise and shine This is my time Watch me climb I'm gonna shine
