[Verse] Echoes in the alleyway folks callin my name Master of the hustle yeah I rose to fame Every single step I take a path they all blame But keepin cool in the fire ain't no shame in my game [Verse 2] Pressure's on feelin like a diamond in the rough Skyscraper tall yeah they can’t get enough But the higher you rise the more it gets tough Got a crown on my head but the wear gets rough [Chorus] When you’re good they expect every move to be gold But they don’t see the cracks in this story so bold Reputation's a chain heavy and cold Still I rise like the sun my tales never told [Verse 3] Whispers in the dark sayin can you do better Lightin up the night like a neon letter Every beat every rhyme I put my soul in every tether But there's a storm brewin man I’m brace for the weather [Bridge] Yeah the world’s watchin every step that I take In the spotlight of a dream can you tell if it’s fake With a heart full of fire bravin earthquakes Wearin this rep like a lion in the snake’s wake [Chorus] When you’re good they expect every move to be gold But they don’t see the cracks in this story so bold Reputation's a chain heavy and cold Still I rise like the sun my tales never told
