Rise

[Intro: Tijon] There comes a time when the hope is lost They need a man who could hold the torch I'll be your strength in the hard times When it gets dark, I'll be the sunshine [Hook: Steve Van Tine & Tijon] Tell me what to say when you know the world's coming down When its crashin' down tell em who you'll call now I'm looking to the heavens but there's only bullets flying down Let em rain down on me And I will walk in the sun when the rains coming down Put my faith to the rising sun And I will stand only strong when no one can carry on I will.. I will.. I will rise [Verse 1: Tijon] I'll be the hope for the hopeless, I'll be a nightmare if harm ever Approach us Always stand for my city, Wife Lady Liberty I'm the epitome of what these boys been tryna be Real to the core, thorough I'm the apples seed They neva talk just eye-chat, try to apple me A wrong look misconstrued, could be a tragedy I'm a forgiving soul, it's the ones in back of me You see they kill for me, Cause I provide for them With no deal I ain't even brought a dollar in I guess real recognizes mirror image Matter fact that real backwards, see we more the clearer image Of a further destination, Move in silence like the masons Hold a steady trigger, but our fingers ain't blessed with gift of patients Please forgive us every virtue don't go hand in hand Just like the fly talk ain't really bout a grain of sand [Chorus] [Verse 2: Tijon] I guess that rose grew from concrete Cause what they thought I couldn't do, is now upon me It's beyond me, a label could baton me Got em feelin' like the Blazers after Sam bombed, B Please sit me down, tell me how this world spin around When genocide fly, an ain't nobody do a thing about it I see its getting crowded, but this a home to all Yes I'm high, but could it be population control Or could it be the air waves pal-oo-tin-in ya dome Cause I see clowns runnin' round, on they way to the thrown Never fear I'll cut they neck before they reach the kingdom Drink the blood out my goblet, the taste is so revealing See I like to watch the fear in they eye, as they die Lay to rest, Let ya souls live high Two deaths, one for the man you was known as The other for the coward, hiding in ya grown ass [Chorus] [Outro: Tijon] So when the time come that all hope lost I got the flame I will hold your torch Just put ya faith in me, and know Know I'll give my all for y'all To the end I need nothing Nothing at all but y'all
