[Intro] (Polo Gutta)
We just some stars in the making .. Every time you fall, just get back up and keep grinding
Life goes on ... You gotta grind, to shine ...
(Chorus)x2 [Dynasty]
I had to keep my head up through the struggles, every hustler makes it to the top
Ooo I'm a rising star, Ooo I'm a rising star
[Verse 1] (Polo Gutta)
I started in the slump, now I'm here. Being scared just to fail I had to face my fears (I had to face my fears)
Living life to the fullest, I'm trying to live with faith. I'm a rising star from the hood but now I'm outta space (speak)
Crackers trynna bam me just because a n***as race, my whole team eatting even if I'm out of plates (BOZ)
Fake n***as talking but they smile in your face, I'm in the game now so these n***as gonna hate
But I gotta keep it real .. I gotta keep my heat, no Lerbon James (nah) I can't leave my heat (nah)
You can tell that I'm hungry cause the grinding of my teeth, and I'm sipping on that sour but you know I like em' sweet
And I'm trynna chase a mill so I'm all up in these streets (all up in these streets), I'm a rising star so I'm floating off my feet
Keep a tool with me I'll fix it for my team (1K), these n***as sleeping on me but I'm trynna chase a dream (trynna chase a dream)
(Chorus)x2 [Dynasty]
I had to keep my head up through the struggles, every hustler makes it to the top
Ooo I'm a rising star, Ooo I'm a rising star
[Verse 2] (Polo Gutta)
I had to see some things (I had to see em), I had to do some things (I had to do em)
I had to feel bad for others? But they never felt my pain (nah) And everything I do, I do it in a way (I do it in a waa-y)
I live my life to fullest, and grind with loyalty (it's Royalty) I had to chase my dreams just to make it far (I had to make it far)
I'm looking up at the sky and I'm a rising star (I'm a star) I had to hit a liq for studio time (I did)
I had to get on my grind I had to spit these rhymes, back then hoes didn't want me (nah) .. now I'm hot they all on me (all on me)
But I ain't even stunttin them, now I got cash all on me (now I'm getting money)
Listen to my story, now you feeling what I feel (feeling what I feel), I never was a faker so I had to keep it real (so I had to keep it real)
A n***a feeling hungry so a n***a had to steal (so a n***a had to steal)
Now I'm making music aiming for a record deal (now I'm aiming for a deal)
I had to shake the streets, cause it ain't the place to be (nah) forgive me for my sins, I pray to god I'm on my knees (forgive me)
(Chorus)x2 [Dynasty]
I had to keep my head up through the struggles, every hustler makes it to the top
Ooo I'm a rising star, Ooo I'm a rising star
[Verse 3] (Flowtly J)
(Uh) From the dirt I rose to be great but in the process gotta eliminate the fakes (fakes)
They don't wanna see you shine (oh no), so ignite the pa**ion that's truly burning inside (uh-huh)
Stay four steps ahead on the grind (on the grind) Never look back cause all the good for is wasting time (wasting time)
It's been a hustle (yeah) but I made it through the pain and the struggles (struggles) Momma say (yeah) you gotta set the bar (uh-huh)
You're the last one with the spark (spark) Why they telling lies in the dark? (yeah)
All we wanna do is win (win), so its long immortality (yeah) Gotta stay focus and come up with the best strategy (strategy)
And its greatness they see while I'm chasing my dreams on this journey (uh-huh) Hoping to find what we seek (yeah) over this mountain peek
I'd rather die for the things I wish to treasure (treasure) nothing lesser (oh no) (yeah)
(Chorus)x2 [Dynasty]
I had to keep my head up through the struggles, every hustler makes it to the top
Ooo I'm a rising star, Ooo I'm a rising star
