Rising To The Top

[Chorus: maria-tina]
Let the stage lights shine
We're putting on a show tonight
We're putting hearts out on the line
And rising to the top
There be no waiting 'round, feet on the ground
There be no time to stop
Chance to make a sound and be unbound
And rising to the top

[Verse 1: AfroLegacy]
Taking the stage, they be craving the spotlight
Soft bites messing with my brain, has he got fight?
Drop by, they be taking aim like the cops might
All fun and games 'till my brain meets a soft type
Hold primal urges
Keep the heartbeat cold 'till I rival burdens
And I can't cheat fold, I don't mind the circus
'Cause the laughter follows 'till the final verdict
I've been pulled in all directions and can't find my footing
I'm a tool, becoming weapons and my size be off putting
Yeah, these fools ignoring lessons and in time they're looking
At a wolf in sheep's clothing, mind is primed for cooking
Break the system I've been chained to
Don't blame the victim, I don't hate you
If I shake my prison, it'll make due
And I'll claim I'm driven just to save you, yuh

[Chorus: maria-tina]
Let the stage lights shine
We're putting on a show tonight
We're putting hearts out on the line
And rising to the top
There be no waiting 'round, feet on the ground
There be no time to stop
Chance to make a sound and be unbound
And rising to the top
So we go-go, go-go
One step at a time until I claim the stage
So go-go, go-go-go-go-go
One step at a time until I'm rising, rising to the top

[Verse 2: AfroLegacy]
Rising to the top, ain't no time for a break
Heart beats faster when you're up in my face
Don't care for disaster, can't get in my way
Let the stage lights shine, see I work for this play
I chase my heart, and it found you
Must play my part for a round two
I can't restart 'cause I'm bound to
Chase this prey and pray that it crowned you
Won't see me move on without you

[Chorus: maria-tina]
Let the stage lights shine
We're putting on a show tonight
We're putting hearts out on the line
And rising to the top
There be no waiting 'round, feet on the ground
There be no time to stop
Chance to make a sound and be unbound
And rising to the top
So we go-go, go-go
One step at a time until I claim the stage
So go-go, go-go-go-go-go
One step at a time until I'm rising, rising to the top
