Marcus Orelias - On My Way Up lyrics

[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]
