[Intro]
[?] theres got to be a better way
To make it well I'm On My Way Up
Gonna to find my place among the stars
On My Way Up
I'm headed for Venus and Mars this time
I'm On My Way Up
I'm going to find my place among the stars
On My Way Up, Well, Well, Well
[Verse 1: Marcus Orelias]
When I wake up, I gotta cake up
And if you owe me a dollar I'm taking no pay cuts
Struggled hard for it, if I could I'd do it again
Kept pushing on days I'd thought I'd never win
I don't owe nobody sh**, they gave me a reason to grind
I got some fam I feel that's counting on mine
So to these beats rest in peace so my grandma can see us win Grammys in no time
I could care less if they choose to accept me
Cause I'll live forever legendary in my own rhymes
f** a pity party when you're enemy is idle time
Gotta represent on my way to let the city shine
Chasing a vision that I dreamt ever since sixteen
Doing shows across the globe, this is everything I dreamed of
And even though I know I flow cold mother f**ers still want to see me flop
Cause I'm...
[Chorus]
[Verse 2: Marcus Orelias]
Whoever thought I'd see a dollar from Rap
I still dream, think, and struggle like it's a rap
Women show love, n***as want to give me dap
Keeping my head at any moment I could lose all of that
A different sound to elevate where I'm at
Moving the states vowing to never shake words that I rap
Recording into a laptop, dissecting my brain
Two steps from going insane when serving tables paid
But Imma hustle 'til my last day, didn't think I'd graduate to lead the new wave
I found it hard getting a long with people my age
Now people my age is telling me to lead the way
Motivated by ageism, competing with lyricist
A lot of friends lost, the consequences of winning
Just because I'm (On My Way Up) don't mean I'm distant
Impossible is nothing, I just hope the kids listen
When I'm (On My Way Up)
[Chorus]
