Intro:
Yeah, uh, we on the rise, yeah
Verse 1:
I gotta rise, come up in this game lookin' so fly
Ain't no way I'm stoppin', before the day I die
Back when they doubted, thought I wouldn't go far
Now I shine bright, like a diamond star
Me and my team, trying to map out the dream,
Late nights, bright lights, plotting every scheme
Yeah, they said it couldn’t happen, but I proved them wrong,
From the bottom to the throne, now I’m singing my song
Chorus:
Gotta rise to the top, never gonna drop,
Chasing every dream, hear the world go pop
We gon' rise to the top, yeah, I’m feelin’ high,
‘Fore the day I go, I’ll light up the sky
Verse 2:
Back when they thought that I was just a kid,
Now I'm making moves, just like I always did
From the basement to the stage, ain't no turning back,
Spitting verses, living life, man, I got the knack
Haters gonna hate; they just fuel the fire,
Climbing every mountain, taking me higher
I lost some friends on the road to this place,
But I gained my worth, yeah, I found my grace
Chorus:
Gotta rise to the top, never gonna drop,
Chasing every dream, hear the world go pop
We gon' rise to the top, yeah, I’m feelin’ high,
‘Fore the day I go, I’ll light up the sky
Verse 3:
Now let’s take ‘em high, on this journey so bold,
With every step, a story waiting to be told
Had my days in the dark, now I bask in the light,
With faith in my heart, yeah, I'm ready to fight
Look in the mirror, see the man in the grind,
Know it's so much more than what you see in the line
I got my team right here, we gon’ stand as one,
Dreaming through the night until the morning sun
Chorus:
Gotta rise to the top, never gonna drop,
Chasing every dream, hear the world go pop
We gon' rise to the top, yeah, I’m feelin’ high,
‘Fore the day I go, I’ll light up the sky
Outro:
Yeah, rise to the top,
Ain’t no question, I'm a legend,
Yeah, we gon' rise, baby, rise to the top,
Feels good to be home, we ain't gonna stop.

Song inspired by
I gotta testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
'Fore the day I die, I'ma touch the sky
Gotta testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
'Fore the day I die, I'ma touch the sky
Back when they thought pink Polos would hurt the Roc
Before Cam got the shit to pop
The doors was closed, I felt like Bad Boy's street team
I couldn't work the locks
Now let's go, take 'em back to the plan
Me and my mama hopped in that U-Haul van
Any pessimists, I ain't talk to them
Plus I ain't have no phone in my apart-a-ment
Let's take 'em back to the club
Least about an hour I stand on line
I just wanted to dance, I went to Jacob an hour
After I got my advance, I just wanted to shine
Jay favorite line, "Dawg, in due time"
Now he look at me, like, "Damn, dawg! You where I am"
A hip-hop legend
I think I died in that accident, 'cause this must be heaven
I gotta testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
'Fore the day I die, I'ma touch the sky
Gotta testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
'Fore the day I die, I'ma touch the sky
Now let's take 'em high (top of the world, baby)
(Top, top of the world)
A-la-la-la-la-la (top of the world, baby)
(Top, top of the world)
Now let's take 'em high (top of the world, baby)
(Top, top of the world)
A-la-la-la-la-la (top of the world, baby)
(Top, top of the world)
Back when Gucci was the shit to rock
Back when Slick Rick got the shit to pop
I'd do anything to say I got it
Damn, them new loafers hurt my pocket
Before anybody wanted K. West beats
Me and my girl split the buffet at KFC
Dog, I was having nervous breakdowns
Like "Man, these niggas that much better than me?"
Baby, I'm going on an airplane
And I don't know if I'll be back again
Sure enough, I sent the plane tickets
But when she came to kick it, things became different
Any girl I cheated on, sheets I skeeted on
Couldn't keep it at home, thought I needed a Nia Long
I'm tryna right my wrongs
But it's funny them same wrongs helped me write this song, now
I gotta testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
'Fore the day you die, you gon' touch the sky
You gon' touch the sky, baby girl, testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
'Fore the day you die, you gon' touch the sky
Yes, yes, yes, guess who's on third?
Lupe steal like Lupin the 3rd
Here like ear 'til I'm beer on the curb
Peachfuzz buzz but beard on the verge
Let's slow it down like we're on the syrup
Bottle shaped body like Mrs. Butterworth
But, before you say another word
I'm back on the block like I'm laying on the street
I'm tryna stop lyin' like I'm Mumm-Ra
But I'm not lyin' when I'm laying on the beat
En garde, or touche, Lupe cool as the unthawed
But I still feel possessed as a gun charge
Come as correct as a porn star
In a fresh pair steps in my best foreign car
So, I represent the first
Now let me end my verse right where the horns are like, uh
I gotta testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
'Fore the day you die, you gon' touch the sky
You gon' touch the sky, baby girl, testify
Come up in the spot lookin' extra fly
'Fore the day you die (yeah), you gon' touch the sky
We back at home, baby
Uh, sky high (yeah)
I'm, I'm sky high
I'm, I'm sky high
I'm, I'm sky high
I'm, I'm sky high
I'm, I'm sky high
Sky, uh, sky high
I'm, I'm sky high
Yeah, keep it rollin'
Yeah, uh, feels good to be home, baby
Feels good to be home

While inspired I want a completly new and original song and concept. Just make sure the lyrics are in the style and cadence Kanye would write them.
