lyrics

‘RISE! (Motivation Music)’

Hook(x2):
No doubt I'ma keep goin', no doubt I'ma stay strong
No doubt I'ma get on, no doubt I will rise (RISE!)
Unwavered, I keep pushin', knock you off ya' seat cushion
Focus an' keep lookin' –– I'm gonna rise (RISE!)

Verse 1:
Long look off in this mirror, remember who the hell I am
E'rything I muscled through, troubles gettin' well, fam
At a crux, wanna quit, game seem hella cramped
Ain't room for my ilk, rappers seem hella camp
{-} Too soft, behind they ears? Hella damp
E'rybody wanna shine, monkeys couldn't sell a lamp
{–} An' they dogs don't hunt, but– keep up fuss
We ain't trash, can't sweep up us
Keep on countin' me out, gon' be yo' number up
Doubtin' my longevity, you'll be the one abrupt
Still be spittin' flame at seventy, verses will erupt
Big dog in the yard, snap the neck of lil' pups
{-} I ain't playin' no more, I'm on my A-game
Come right or don't come at all, walk away shamed
You know they say, slow an' steady win the race
It took the boy some years, but finally in that place

Hook(x2)

Verse 2:
Nothin's gonna stop me, got the drive an' the wherewithal
Feel I'm better than a– I ain't goin' there wit' y'all
In order to rise, one can't be scared to fall
Realize power's in ~words~ spoke in them there jaws
Want 'em to fuck wit' you? –Provide sumpin' worth fuckin' wit'
Make it tangible, don't need a fuckin' hit
You just need to be real, leave the fraudulence alone
Pragmatism get you all up in that zone
Love you Black, love you strong, just wanna see you make it
Want us all to do well, no other way to take it
Leg out, break it, steal the show an' knock 'em dead
We both gonna rise, turn this world on its head
Waitin' on the perfect time, when it might not come
Just create the opportunity, climb out of the scum
What's afforded to some, ain't afforded to many
Time ain't perfect now, still good as any
