CtheR - The Rise, Pt. 1 Lyrics

It started in a class
In the sixth grade
Had to learn about music that day
Used to chill up in the class with my boy Peyton powered
In that class, I realized I had big dreams
So I said, let's write a diss at each other
As a joke
But I took it seriously, the next day we came in
I said, let's see what you came up with the pen
As he's rapping, I feel the reaper cave in
His was way better, way clever, but I said we gonna spin
In 2 months, I got better
Left him in a bin
And 2 months turned to years
Sticking with this shit
Really helped me grow up
Elevate and top my element
Seventh grade, 1 year after starting
Wrote a song, spitting bars is what I called it
For the longest time, never showed my music though
Only played it loud alone in the studio
Times were tough
But I made it out the rough
In that class making beats on a Chromebook
I'm now a vet, but once was a rook
And like a rook, the straight path up is what I took
And now I make it look easy
In eighth grade, I was feeling like the world needs me
I had like 10 songs at the time
Two years already, they done flew by
It was the very first time
I got high and made an instant banger overnight
Now I do that stuff every day, every night
Really made me up, really made me think right
Really gave me pride, you can all keep your stripes
Life on the line, wonder when you'll take flight
I can see my goals and the gold shine bright
Shine bright, I ain't talking diamonds in the sky
But the limelight shines bright on me all the time
