I rise above the corruption around me

And the adversity inflicted upon me

Had a lot of friends that ended up phoney

An a lot of people that doubted me

Yet, still I rise

Always been told to be the best I can be,

Have patience, and lead

I’ve been counted out, I’ve been lied on and misunderstood

Everything that I have gotten or achieved, I had to work for

Through all the blood, sweat, and tears,

I’ve still managed to rise above my circumstances

The devil think he won, but God said it isn’t so

He sent his only begotten son to give us eternal life

And for that I am grateful

And every day, I’m out here trying to be a better person

Maybe, one day I will rise to my destined throne
