[Verse 1] Nine PM on my dashboard Full tank, empty excuses Hair up, hands steady I been hungry, I been ruthless Phone face-down in the cup holder No more calls from the old crowd I can hear my name getting louder Every block got a low cloud I don't chase it, I walk in Slow steps, heavy purpose If I want it, I can take it That's the part they never rehearsed [Pre-Chorus] Heart race, but I stay cool Gold chain on my skin like proof One more lap, I break through Tonight I'm building something new [Chorus] Late night, I rise Late night, I rise Money on my mind I was born to climb Late night, I rise Late night, I rise Watch me touch the sky I don't sleep on mine [Verse 2] Studio smell, cold soda Red eyes, but the pen works Pages pile like receipts Every loss got a lesson first Mama said, "Baby, keep going" So I keep my chin up high I don't need a lucky star I make luck when I decide They said wait, I said nah Too much fire in my chest I got plans in the backseat And a future in a dress [Pre-Chorus] Heart race, but I stay cool Gold chain on my skin like proof One more lap, I break through Tonight I'm building something new [Chorus] Late night, I rise Late night, I rise Money on my mind I was born to climb Late night, I rise Late night, I rise Watch me touch the sky I don't sleep on mine [Bridge] Still waters, big hunger I'm the spark in the dark room Every scar on my shoulder Turned to diamonds in bloom [Chorus] Late night, I rise Late night, I rise Money on my mind I was born to climb Late night, I rise Late night, I rise Watch me touch the sky I don't sleep on mine
