[Verse 1]
I been grindin' since 8 years old
My mama taught me not to do what I'm told
Nah, I gotta do what's best for me
You stressin' me it's best to leave
I'm Not one to twiddle my thumbs
You gotta work hard where I come from hun
Nothin' sweet up in these streets
Everybody wanna see a lady like me beat
Mad creeps looking for a freak
I don't need a meal ticket I would rather not eat
But I hustle every day of the week so I'm eatin fine
Little piece of mind
But there ain't enough time to get where I'm goin'
If I'm out with the clowns who are slowing me down (ugh)
Ain't enough room in this town
And this girl never put her head down
[Hook]
They try and they try, try to keep me down
But I'm gonna rise, gonna rise, gonna Rise Up
They try and they try, try to keep me down
But I'm gonna rise, gonna rise, gonna Rise Up
This girl is comin' up, I said this girl is comin' up
I said this girl is comin' up I'm comin' up, up, up
They try and they try, try to keep me down
But I'm comin' up, comin' up I'm comin' up
[Verse 2]
Had to come up cuz they put me down
Had to come up, Had to come up, Had to come up
Had to come up cuz they put me down, down, down down (yeah)
Had to come up cuz they put me down
Didn't give a what but they booking me now?
Would you look at me now
Keep risin' up with my foot on the ground
They found me and they hounded me
This little lady had to learn to set boundaries
Cuz they want you, and they'll take you
No matter what it takes even if it breaks you
Eat cake too, they wanna have it, I had it
I'm comin' up and I'm makin' it a habit
All my ladies lemme see you ecstatic
I was down now I'm back like elastic
I'm a cla**ic, you don't know it yet
But I bet in a minute you'll be knowin' that
I'm the kinda girl that you don't forget
But no sweat
[Hook]
