(Intro) Oh-oh, yeahhh… (Mmm-mmm) Dem nuh see the fire, dem nuh feel the pain, But I keep on pushin’, I must break the chain… (Verse 1) Woke up with a dream and an empty plate, Hustle every morning, no time fi wait. Mama say, “Boy, you must be strong, One day di struggle will be gone.” No handouts, just sweat and fight, Long days turn to sleepless nights. Dem laugh at me, dem say me slow, Now look at me, I’m ‘bout to blow. (Pre-Chorus) They see the glory, but don’t know the story, Man had to grind, now mi rise in di morning. No shortcut, no easy way, Every brick, every step, mi pave di way. (Chorus) I rise up (oh-oh), never back down, Fire in my heart, I wear the crown. They doubted me, but look at me now, I rise up, I rise up—no stoppin’ now. (Verse 2) (Rap verse) Yeah, I started from the gutter, no silver spoon, Late nights, early mornings, just prayin’ for a move. They said I wouldn’t make it, now they watchin’ my climb, Now they in my DMs, but I ain’t got the time. Had to cut off fake friends, had to walk alone, Now my name ring bells like a dial tone. From the trenches to the top, yeah, the road was tough, But I’m built for the fire, man, I can’t give up. (Pre-Chorus) They see the glory, but don’t know the story, Man had to grind, now mi rise in di morning. No shortcut, no easy way, Every brick, every step, mi pave di way. (Chorus) I rise up (oh-oh), never back down, Fire in my heart, I wear the crown. They doubted me, but look at me now, I rise up, I rise up—no stoppin’ now. Tell dem, tell dem, Jah guide mi steps, mi nah go stray. Tell dem, tell dem, Hard work pay, mi deh yah fi stay! Oh-oh, yeahhh… (Mmm-mmm) Dem nuh see the fire, dem nuh feel the pain, But I keep on pushin’, I must break the chain…
