Cameron London - The Rise Lyrics

Started off young dumb and broke but I rectified the situation
An X-Man cause I didn't feel the jubilation
Mediating started helping with my concentration
Now I'm shining brighter than the constellations
No consolation, if I fail then just let me fall
Second place not a winner they just first to fall
I said fall but some people wanna visit autumn
They at the bottom but isn't cause I never taught em
Momma listen, your firstborn is on a mission
Ever since band class when I was tapping pistons
I'm having visions but trying not to settle down
Nothing's perfect so I'm on a quest to master sound
I took the job for the kids like I'm Master Splinter
Remember days when my biggest goal was riding spinners
I have dreams but they tell me I'm a born sinner
My competition as permanent as a henna

Get ready
Cause I'm coming up
Cause I'm coming up
You better get ready
Cause I'm coming up
Cause I'm coming up
Get ready
Cause I'm coming up
Cause I'm coming up
You better get ready
Cause I'm coming up
Cause I'm coming up

So perplexing there's no protection for me
I left behind the green and started working for free
I'm trynna build a legacy, far as I can see
Ain't nobody coming close to me
That's not a brag I'm just fighting through anxiety
Sometimes I gotta hype myself, I gotta lie to me
I keep calm ain't nobody started trying me
An OG to the hood, that's the dynasty
Don't need to talk about it action is the loudest verb
I've seen people move in ways I would have never heard
This rap game is a curse to the rising son
I protect em with the force now they owe me one
Fought my demons now we getting on the best of terms
I told my angels, if they beefing imma let it burn
How can I be the best me when I'm not whole
Found a balance and that's how I keep the light gold

Get ready
Cause I'm coming up
Cause I'm coming up
You better get ready
Cause I'm coming up
Cause I'm coming up
Get ready
Cause I'm coming up
Cause I'm coming up
You better get ready
Cause I'm coming up
Cause I'm coming up

The rise of the son goes untested
Never fought my peers for my blessings
I prefer smiles to the stresses
No expectations when I make my guesses
Came a long way but ain't go too far
If I had to relate to a celestial body I'd be a star
Never met one to match my shine
And the rise of the son is right on time

Get ready
Cause I'm coming up
Cause I'm coming up
You better get ready
Cause I'm coming up
Cause I'm coming up
Get ready
Cause I'm coming up
Cause I'm coming up
You better get ready
Cause I'm coming up
Cause I'm coming up
Get ready
Cause I'm coming up
Cause I'm coming up
You better get ready
Cause I'm coming up
Cause I'm coming up
Get ready
Cause I'm coming up
Cause I'm coming up
You better get ready
Cause I'm coming up
Cause I'm coming up
