[Intro]
Yeah
D-D-D-Dayme
Woah
[Chorus]
I’m on the rise
Don’t live a lie, yeah
Ooh yeah I just tell ‘em hallelujah, uh
How did he do that
Didn’t end up on the news, yeah, oh
I’m on the rise
Don’t live a lie, yeah
Ooh yeah I just tell ‘em hallelujah, uh
How did he do that
Didn’t end up on the news, yeah, oh
[Verse 1]
They see the glow
Funny how I ain’t exist to you when I was broke
Couldn’t get that brrt now they wanna blow my phone, yeah
I’ve got people looking at me like they seen a ghost, yeah
All this work I put in you would think I had a clone
I had someone pull a gun to my head and I thank the Lord he didn’t pop
Never thought that I would be here, man, I saw the chance and I gave it a shot
Supposed to be dead or in jail but you see how I’m twisting the plot, yeah
I was destined for the top, yeah, woah
[Chorus]
I’m on the rise
Don’t live a lie, yeah
Ooh yeah, I just tell ‘em hallelujah, uh
How did he do that
Didn’t end up on the news, yeah, oh
I’m on the rise
Don’t live a lie, yeah
Ooh yeah, I just tell ‘em hallelujah, uh
How did he do that
Didn’t end up on the news, yeah, oh
[Verse 2]
Ooh, yeah, would I be alive if I kept that job man I don’t know (I don’t know)
In 2018 told the world: “This my last year being broke” (Being broke)
I remember on the school playground young Jay tryna bust the flow
Used to beg for shows now I live on the road, yeah
Ooh yeah, not in a prison I break the statistics, I lock myself up in the booth, yeah
Not chasing women but chasing the vision this music is my only boo, yeah
They love the voice and the melodies shout out to Dayme (Dayme) hope he don’t produce less
Or you should have a bulletproof vest, joke
[Chorus]
I’m on the rise
Don’t live a lie, yeah
Ooh yeah, I just tell ‘em hallelujah, uh
How did he do that
Didn’t end up on the news, yeah, oh
I’m on the rise
Don’t live a lie, yeah
Ooh yeah, I just tell ‘em hallelujah, uh
How did he do that
Didn’t end up on the news, yeah, oh
[Outro]
He on the rise, yeah, yeah
We on the rise, yeah, yeah
My team on the rise, yeah, yeah
