RISE
DJ OPTICAL the M.N.B Lyrics

I know that we took a break, so I'm back at it again
I am aware that we had a temporary separation, and now I am returning to my previous activities

I needed some time to myself, all your evil has no end
I required solitude to reflect on myself, as your malicious actions seem to have no limit

You're no longer my girl and were never a friend
You are no longer my romantic partner, and we were never truly close friends

Now I lost a love, I'm the only one in my defense
Now I have lost a love, and I am the only one who can defend myself

I been cast aside and I been struck
I have been rejected and hurt

You weren't by my side when I got stuck
You were not there to support me when I encountered difficulties

No ride or dies when I was in a rut
I had no loyal supporters when I was in a difficult situation

So I'll forget your life when I rise up
When I achieve success, I will let go of the memories associated with you

Well that's how I'm living these days
This is the way I am currently living my life

You're not content 'till I'm in my grave
You are not satisfied until I am dead and gone

Walked out when I asked you to stay
You left when I requested you to remain

But came back when I pushed you away
But you returned when I distanced myself from you

But you can keep doubting
However, you are free to continue doubting me

Only 'cause I made a statement
Just because I expressed my opinion

And I'm just too innovative
And I possess a high level of creativity and originality

And I been so creative
And I have been extremely imaginative

And you know I almost made it
And you are aware that I came close to achieving great success

So you keep on hating
Therefore, you continue to harbor feelings of hostility toward me

And I was tryna be patient
And I was attempting to be patient

But got sick of waitin'
But eventually grew tired of waiting

You're too complicated
You are excessively complex

You been waiting for a payment
You have been anticipating receiving compensation

While I'm working on the daily
While I am diligently working every day

And you're so frustrating
And you are incredibly vexing

You never really cared about me, all I did was try
You never truly cared for me, and all I did was make an effort

You forgot about me and talked to other guys
You disregarded me and engaged in conversations with other men

You been so fake, I picked up your signs
You have been deceitful, and I detected the indications of your falseness

Played with my emotions, it was such a crime
You manipulated my feelings, committing a severe offense

Laid away in bed, so many sleepless nights
I spent countless restless nights in bed

Fell for your tricks for the last time
I fell for your deceptive tactics, but it won't happen again

You said you loved me, it was such a lie
You claimed to love me, but it was a complete falsehood

But I got to keep pushing, got to finish the fight
But I must persevere and continue the struggle

She tried to take my heart but it's my life I'm living
She attempted to capture my heart, but I am in control of my own life

She tried to play games, got no time for chillin'
She attempted to play games, but I have no time for idling

It's just one girl, got no time for trippin'
She is just one girl, and I have no patience for unnecessary drama

And I'm rising up and I'm steady winning
And I am achieving success and consistently coming out on top

Pushed her aside to extend my limits
I pushed her away to broaden my capabilities

Gave her everything, nothing's what I was given
I gave her my all, but I received nothing in return

Keeping my composure while the world is spinning
Maintaining my calmness while the world is in chaos

She keeps asking who, I already did it
She keeps inquiring about someone, but I have already accomplished what she questions

I never needed her, I'm already risen
I never required her presence, as I have already ascended to a higher position

It's the life I'll live and I'm never finished
This is the life I will continue to lead, and I will never cease striving

Been changing flows like Chicago weather
I have been altering my musical styles frequently, much like the ever-changing weather in Chicago

I can get cold, go and get a sweater
My demeanor can become distant, so find a sweater to keep warm

Going back to back like it's a double header
Continuously performing or releasing content, similar to consecutive baseball games

Getting all this cheese, I think my fav is cheddar
Earning a significant amount of money, and my favorite type is cheddar

I'ma be on top, that is my endeavor
I am determined to reach the pinnacle of success

I been balling out no United center
I have been excelling greatly without the need for a specific venue like the United Center

Man you cannot stop me I feel like I'm Mineo
You cannot impede my progress, as I feel unstoppable like Andy Mineo

Eating these rappers for breakfast like cereal
I am metaphorically consuming and surpassing other rappers effortlessly, similar to eating cereal for breakfast

I remember we was buddy buddy
I recall when we were close friends

Then I started getting all this money
Then I began acquiring a significant amount of money

Now you wanna come around and act all funny
Now you want to reappear in my life and behave strangely

I got my own girl, yeah I'm so lucky
I have my own girlfriend, and I consider myself fortunate

I don't know her name, I just call her honey
I am unaware of her actual name, so I refer to her affectionately as 'honey'

She gave me a chance, I'm not talking sonny
She afforded me an opportunity, but I am not referring to Sonny as in Sonny & Cher

I'm killing these beats, my last name Bundy
I am dominating these instrumentals, and my last name is Bundy

My pockets are starting to get so chubby
My pockets are becoming significantly filled with money

I mean, it's crazy, I've been lonely
I mean, it's astonishing how isolated I have felt

Nothing in my home is just homey
My residence lacks a sense of comfort or coziness

I just went out and lost all my homies
I simply went out and lost all my close friends

Everything gone remotely
Everything has vanished to a distant extent

I survived in this time, I'ma need a trophy
I persevered in this era, and I deserve recognition or a prize

No cosigns, yeah my music just low-key
I have not received any endorsements or support, and my music remains relatively unknown

No one on my team, yeah I'm on my own goalie
I have no teammates, as I am responsible for my own defenses

By the end of this tape, yeah you should know me
By the conclusion of this album, you should have a strong understanding of who I am

Yuh, I been up and I've been counting cash
Yes, I have been on an upward trajectory and have been tallying my wealth

After this I know you'll keep up with me like I'm Kim Kardash
Once this is over, I am confident that you will continue to follow my journey, much like how people follow Kim Kardashian

They be mad saying I don't rap, I just spit it fast
They express anger and claim that I do not truly rap, but merely deliver lyrics quickly

People said I wouldn't make it, now look I'm making it past
People doubted my ability to succeed, but now look at me surpassing their expectations

Once they see my skill, I know that they'll say I'll last
Once they witness my talent, I am confident they will acknowledge my longevity

I had selfish people by me that never wanted to pass
I had self-centered individuals around me who had no desire to surpass or support me

Then she started trippin', so I dipped fast like the flash
Then she began causing trouble, so I swiftly departed like the superhero Flash

I been blowing like Pompeii, I know that you see the ash
I have been erupting and gaining attention, just like the volcano in Pompeii, and I know you notice the aftermath

And I get it rapping fast ain't that impressive
I understand that rapping quickly is not necessarily impressive

I can slow it down too, lemme show you extensive
I can also rap at a slower pace; allow me to demonstrate the range of my skills

My fam says it getting bougie, everything I wear expensive
My family claims that I am becoming pretentious, as everything I wear is costly

But I'm only getting bigger, they just watching my ascension
However, I am only growing in importance, while they are merely observing my rise to success

A lot of people don't wanna see me rise
Many individuals do not wish for me to achieve success

I been wanted this, God hearing all my cries
I have desired this for a long time, and I believe God is hearing my pleas

I remember needing people with no replies
I recall needing assistance from people who never responded

No one at my low, everyone one at my highs
No one was there during my lowest moments, but now everyone wants to be a part of my successes

All this money is what I fantasize
Amassing wealth is what I imagine and dream about

But I live in a world nothing civilized
However, I reside in a world devoid of civilization or order

I'm ready to be up, I got my supplies
I am prepared to rise to the top, as I have the necessary resources

See me at the top, don't be surprised
Witness me achieving the highest level of success, and do not act surprised

Man, whatever, it ain't no big deal
Honestly, it does not matter, it is not significant

Imma keep running miles till I get my first mil
I will persistently work hard until I earn my first million dollars

Hop on any track, you know that I carry it still
I can excel on any musical track, and you know I can still deliver with excellence

Do not snake me, I will find out it's not a drill
Do not deceive or betray me, as I will discover the truth

Been feeling like a fresh prince, call me Will
I have been experiencing a sense of royalty and confidence, similar to the Fresh Prince, so you can call me Will

I'ma keep stacking money like Uncle Phil
I will continue to accumulate wealth in a manner similar to how Uncle Phil, a character from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, amassed his fortune

When I started I was popping just like a pill
When I first began, I gained popularity rapidly, similar to the effect of a pill

Size 13, got big shoes to fill
I wear size 13 shoes, which symbolizes the great responsibility I have to measure up to expectations

Wanna blow up, no time to kill
I desire to achieve widespread success, and I have no time to waste

Don't want the fame, I just want the thrill
I am not seeking fame, but rather the excitement and satisfaction that comes with success

Been blowing down the gates, now I'm making bills
I have been breaking through barriers, and now I am making money

My talent sharp like I got some quills
My talent is keen and exceptional, as if I possess a collection of writing quills

Wanna get on my level, better put some stilts
If you want to reach or surpass my level, you need to elevate yourself, perhaps by using stilts as a metaphor

I'll rise so far, and I'll never tilt
I will ascend to great heights and never falter or lose my balance

Look at everything that I have built
Observe and acknowledge all that I have accomplished

Setting records, yeah, you can call me Wilt
Establishing new records, yes, you can compare me to Wilt Chamberlain

Now they mad that I am winning
Now they are angry or resentful because I am succeeding

Imma keep going 'til the last inning
I will continue to pursue my goals until the very end

We coming up, I don't care what you thinking
We are progressing and growing, and I am unconcerned about your opinions

We on the rise, this is just the beginning
We are in the process of ascending, and this is only the start
