Rise Above It
I Prevail Lyrics

I've been patiently waiting, tying my stomach in knots
I have been anxiously anticipating an opportunity while feeling nervous and agitated.

I've been lost in the moment, going to war with my thoughts
I have been completely focused on the present, but my thoughts are causing inner conflict.

And if you're feeling the pressure, the pressure's all that I got
If you are feeling stressed or under pressure, I can relate to that feeling very well.

So if you think that you're ready, I'm here to tell you you're not
If you think you are prepared for what's to come, I want to let you know that you are not yet ready.

The time is right now, yeah, you're in over your head
The opportune moment is now, but I think you may be in a situation that is too difficult for you to handle.

I'm calling lights out, until it's over and dead
I am dedicating myself to the task at hand until it is completed, even if it requires tremendous effort.

And I'll be damned if I ever let you get me again
I refuse to be defeated by you or your actions in the future.

Yeah, I will stop at nothing
I am committed to achieving my goals and will not let any obstacles stop me from doing so.

'Cause I was made to rise above it
I believe that I was destined to overcome challenges and emerge victorious.

'Cause one of these days, one of these days, everyone will know
At some point in the future, my accomplishments will be recognized and appreciated by others.

But for now I stand alone
Although I have not yet achieved widespread recognition, I am still dedicated to achieving my goals.

I count my enemies like trophies
My enemies serve as badges of honor, reminding me of the obstacles I have overcome.

I wear my scars so they can show me, now
I view my physical and emotional scars as symbols of my strength and resilience.

I've got nothing left to prove
I am confident in my abilities and do not feel the need to prove anything to anyone.

So when I look at you, all I see are trophies, trophies
When I look at my enemies, I see the obstacles that I have overcome and the hard work that I have dedicated to achieving my goals.

I'm not afraid
I am fearless and unafraid of the challenges that lie ahead.

To put it all on the line like it runs in my veins
I am willing to take risks and put everything at stake in pursuit of my goals, as if it is a natural part of who I am.

I will stop at nothing, 'cause I was made to rise above it
I will not let anything prevent me from achieving my goals, as I was born to overcome obstacles.

I don't want no handouts, know I earned it (Earned it)
I do not want or need any help or special treatment, as I believe that my successes and accomplishments are the result of my own hard work and dedication.

Remember shows when nobody came
I remember performing in front of empty crowds, which motivates me to work even harder to achieve widespread recognition.

Well that pissed me off, I stayed workin' (Workin')
Feeling frustrated by the lack of recognition, I continued to work tirelessly to hone my craft and improve my skills.

Locked inside of in my room
I often isolate myself to focus on my work and practice my craft in privacy.

Losin' some sleep writin' verses
I am so passionate about my work that I am willing to sacrifice sleep in order to compose music or lyrics.

They told me I'm nothin', I heard 'em
People have doubted my abilities or dismissed me as insignificant, but their words only serve to make me more determined to succeed.

They want me to fall off, I'm laughin', got records like nothin'
Although some people may wish for me to fail, I find their negativity amusing, particularly because I have been so successful in my music career.

I feel like a surgeon
I am skilled and precise in my work, particularly in composing and producing music.

Y'all went out on the weekend, I make hits while you drinkin'
While others spend their weekends partying and relaxing, I am constantly working on creating music and achieving my goals.

Turn a dream to a lifestyle, six figures ain't even peak yet
I have transformed my passion for music into a successful career, and I believe that my greatest achievements are yet to come.

They hate me, they want me to die
Some people may dislike me or wish to see me fail or suffer.

Came up from nothin', the numbers don't lie
I started from humble beginnings but have achieved significant success as a musician, and this is demonstrated by the numbers (e.g. album sales, streaming statistics).

You cannot stop me, so don't even try
Despite any attempts to derail me from my path to success, I am confident that I will persevere and achieve my goals.

I rise above it, owe this all to God, yeah
I am able to overcome challenges and achieve success because of my faith and belief in a higher power.

Yeah, I was made to rise above it
I firmly believe that I was destined to overcome challenges and emerge victorious, even in the face of adversity.
