[Verse 1] Alarm clock screaming, four AM grind Cold water face, gotta sharpen my mind Used to count pennies on a cracked kitchen table Now I'm stacking vision boards, turning myths into fable They said I wouldn't make it past the block where I grew But I turned every "no" into rocket ship fuel Mama working doubles just to keep the lights on That's the fire in my chest that I'm writing these songs from Holes in my Jordans but my head's in the clouds Rehearsing my speech for when I'm facing the crowds Every setback's just a setup for the bounce back Turned my studio apartment to a soundtrack [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, they can doubt me, let 'em talk their talk I'ma let my moves do the victory walk From the basement to the penthouse view Watch what hunger and a dream can do [Chorus] Rise and shine, it's my time to glow Paid my dues, now the whole world know From the struggle to the summit, watch me climb Every scar's just a trophy, rise and shine Rise and shine, can't dim my light Turned the darkness into dynamite They can't hold me, I'm too alive This is my moment—rise and shine [Verse 2] Late nights, cold pizza, writing bars on receipts Now my name's in the conversation on the streets They want the glory but they don't want the grind Want the mountain top view but won't make the climb I've been betting on myself since the odds were trash Turned my pain into poetry, my struggle into cash Every closed door was a lesson in disguise Now I'm kicking down walls, no more compromise Skeptics in the rearview, I don't need that energy My circle's small but it's solid—that's the remedy Built this empire brick by brick, no handouts Now they're wondering how I figured it out [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, they can doubt me, let 'em talk their talk I'ma let my moves do the victory walk From the basement to the penthouse view Watch what hunger and a dream can do [Chorus] Rise and shine, it's my time to glow Paid my dues, now the whole world know From the struggle to the summit, watch me climb Every scar's just a trophy, rise and shine Rise and shine, can't dim my light Turned the darkness into dynamite They can't hold me, I'm too alive This is my moment—rise and shine [Bridge] Look, I've been down but never out Turned my whispers into shouts Every failure was a teacher, every loss was a gain Now I'm dancing in the sun that used to be rain They wrote me off like rough drafts But I'm the final chapter, do the math Underdog story, now I'm top of the food chain Remember my name when you hear this refrain [Chorus] Rise and shine, it's my time to glow Paid my dues, now the whole world know From the struggle to the summit, watch me climb Every scar's just a trophy, rise and shine Rise and shine, can't dim my light Turned the darkness into dynamite They can't hold me, I'm too alive This is my moment—rise and shine [Outro] Yeah, this is my moment Rise and shine, the world's my component From the bottom to the throne, I own it Rise and shine—and now they know it
