The Rise

[Verse 1: ThatKidCry] Slight progression, I'm invested But what's more important is now I wanna protect this Endless questions, never to forget them I am not the student but you shower me with lessons People talk but they never keep it meaningful It's all a joke but I'd never think of leaving you We will rise, keep everything in mind You wonder if this life will ever keep you supplied But I don't really think so; it's all a blur You wonder if the lost will have ever returned? Watching all the minutes like they never occurred While you're waiting for a moment to forever be learned, yo Check the watch - a thing that didn't have to be Say you're sick of time but YOU changed the battery Life is like an ink that forever has to bleed My skin's about to change, so YOU can't be mad at me I'll try to rise up, we ought'a find love Try love at all - quit lookin' for "the right one" Screw the humans, life is so equal It's like I'm outta body while representin' the people Dust off the path, I will try to be peaceful Going all your lives while blaming Adam and Evil You wanna be religious, you wanna be so dependent You wanna worry bout sex, you wanna worry bout image DO YOU in the end, be evidence of the heart Instead of falling off of the precipice of a scar Two different visions - how we depictin' a star I'm livin' on the Earth, y'all be livin' on Mars Yo, lights off...Rise up Now YOU hold the light inside they might love They wanna be the key so find the right one To unlock the door where we'll wife this life up She's better than before but you're next to know That you're prolly number 3 so expect to go Cause every time you love you have to try, huh? I'm in an evil love affair with the mic, but You never once tried to read what I write Cause it might've meant the difference on a night like this I once met a girl with a knife sliced wrist I told her that I'd love her if she'd just try'n live But everything I said was a lie, I was young Now I rise up, spit lies from my tongue Look for the girl with the scars on her arms That's a part of my life where my heart was carved I love the living, one for pity I'm elevating higher - first floor was shitty You'd really be surprised if you felt what I felt I'm only gonna fall if you're going through hell It's everything I am.. I'm all that I have But I am not the turtle when I fall on my back I will find my feet... find my scene Seek out the people that'll guide my dreams But I won't look far cause they're here for me And I betchu right now that their ear's to me There's a love that I got, for the peace; naive I'm a hippy on the mic but it beat that beats Gotta beat scenes, maybe start flyin' Wishing for a pull in the spotlight, We gotta make time Once more, stand behind the shut doors Work it all together and try forever to love more We gotta rise, take care of the knife Catch all the waves and parasail with the life Colors never mattered, I know it's easy to write But everything is easy when I speak on the mic Let it run.. let it ride... I'mma take my stride Walk through life with that aim to rise...aim to rise
