Lookin' down, lookin' out, all around, blank faces
Everyone, everywhere, chasin' gold - they keep aimin' for aces
I've been down that road, I choose to walk the other way
Every man for themselves don't work, gotta be another way
Everybody thinks they wanna wear the crown (the crown)
Actin' like they got it all figured out
But it ain't as easy as it sounds
Gotta find a way to stand your ground
There's so many people swarmin' 'round
Try'na knock you down
You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up
Keep ya head up, head up
It's gonna get dirty, dirty, dirty
Dirty, dirty
You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up
Keep ya head up, head up
It's gonna get dirty, dirty, dirty
Dirty, dirty
Wakin' up, steppin' out, pushin' through the static yea yeah
Turnin' on, turnin' off, walkin' blind, automatic yea yeah (automatic)
Gotta take control - I'mma break out of the gray
Yeah I'll play the game, but I'll never be the same
Everybody thinks they wanna wear the crown (yea yea yea)
Actin' like they got it all figured out
But it ain't as easy as it sounds
Gotta find a way to stand your ground
There's so many people swarmin' 'round
Try'na knock you down (try'na knock you down)
You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up
Keep ya head up, head up
It's gonna get dirty, dirty, dirty
Dirty, dirty
You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up
Keep ya head up, head up
It's gonna get dirty, dirty, dirty
Dirty, dirty
Tryna keep my flow
In this devil's playground
Temptation doesn't slow down
Slow down (slow down yea- yeah)
It's like I woke up
Didn't know where I was
Climbin' out of the dust
Buried in this mess, yeah
I don't wanna get caught in this net (nah nah nah no)
But the more I struggle the deeper I get, yeah
You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up
Keep ya head up, head up
It's gonna get dirty, dirty, dirty
Dirty, dirty
You gotta rise up, rise up, rise up
Keep ya head up, head up
It's gonna get dirty, dirty, dirty
Dirty, dirty
