[Chorus: Just Blaze (Saigon)] 
Whoa-ohh, we keep risin to the top 
Whoa-ohh, and keep eyes out for the cops 
Whoa-OHH! And that's what it's gon' be 
Whoa-OHH! Cause you ain't gon' stop me 
They got you workin two jobs tryin to make ends meet 
You just tryin to keep yo' kids off the street 
You gotta believe it (best believe if you dream it) 
Oh, you better believe it (you too can achieve it) 
Uh-oh, they got you locked in a hole, 19 years old 
Ten years, no chance for parole 
You better believe it (that's right, tell 'em again) 
Oh, you gotta believe it (after that, tell a friend) 
Ohhh-ohhh 
 
[Saigon:] 
After the sunshine come the rain, after the fun time come the pain 
I often wonder if it's gonna change 
I caught a bad case of Smack-a-Bitchy-Itis (what happened?) 
I came home, my wife got my daughter in shitty diapers (damn) 
The rice is still raw, and the meat is still frozen in the freezer 
I hate that I'm too close to her to leave her 
Either I hit the street to do some pitchin, knowin these dudes is snitchin 
Or die tryin to make it as a musician 
My livin condition is not in the greatest position (nope) 
And nah I ain't bitchin, I just gotta make a decision 
Should I breeze past, hop out in a ski mask 
Rob everything movin and cruise in a G-Class (vroom!) 
But keep writin the heat that the street like it 
Young'uns is recitin my lyrics, so keep bitin 
Y'all niggaz thinkin shit is easy, it's hard 
One thing I know I'm a do is keep believin, keep believin in God 
 
[Chorus] 
 
[Saigon:] 
After the fast songs come the slow, after the sad songs come some mo' (mo') 
This is the life I have come to know 
Police is in Marquis', Chevy Caprices stroll 
The young hood boogers idolize Keyshia Cole 
The rap figures throwin money in the air like it's pizza dough 
People in the hood ain't eatin though (though) 
I tried to help the labels see the vision 
But they lowered me to a subdivision, you gotta be fuckin kiddin 
They'd rather me pretend to be somethin I'm not 
I'm the new Public Enemy, I'm different than Yung Joc 
And nah, I ain't dissin, this nigga's up in the Forbes 
Shit I ain't made a dollar tryin to rap for the cause 
But in these next four bars, I'll tell you about maleviolent laws 
They enforcin on North American shores 
Dawg, if they could have rifles on their farms 
Then I don't see why they knocked T.I. for tryin to bear arms 
 
[Chorus] 
 
[Saigon:] 
Tell 'em wave at the artist, I feel like I'll make it regardless 
Don't forget I'm the ex-con that made it the farthest (yup) 
Until the day that I lay with the martyrs 
Or until the day I'm parlayin, playin with my sons and my daughters (uh) 
I'm a remain the smartest, hardest workin nigga in the business 
Just Blaze, can I get a witness? {YESSIR!} 
See that they probably get it if I come out and flop 
Get dropped, go back to my block and get shot (pop) 
As they puttin my body in that life-size Ziplock 
Then you'll be sayin "Damn, Giddy died for this hip-hop" 
Or maybe it'll tell you to get locked 
To another 20 in the rock for them to give me my props 
Whatever the case may be 
You do a census on who is the sickest lyricist, they say me 
And that's without a album out, y'all rated me 
I drop one and I'm a bow out gracefully 
 
[Chorus] 
 
[Outro: Just Blaze] 
Keep keep keep rising, whoa-ohh 
Keep keep keep rising, whoa-OHH! 
Keep keep keep rising, whoa-OHH! 
Keep keep keep rising, whoa-ohh 
Whoo! We on the radio (we on the radio!) 
Yo turn up the radio! (we on the radio) 
Yo we got one, now we got the game on lock! 
[Radio changing stations] 
Turn it up! C'monnnnn 
We got on the radio
