Rise Above It ft. DW Underground Lyrics

Check the back side of my fist, I wreck it

Troubled youth on his way to pick up a Smith and Wesson

To get a quicker ending, the rope broke, he didn't learn his lesson

Lost his best friend to this life, he just try to forget it

Never counted any blessings, just his many sacrifices

Despite this, he could only see his life was full of crisis

But it flipped and turned upside down, he found a way around

To stay bound to this earth with sound that made him keep on fighting this

Life full of a lot of shit, lost down in a bottomless pit

Climbed his way out of it, saw the light shine a bit

Far away, gotta keep moving, have to go and get to it

With no missed steps or mistakes, therapy writing is the fix

He didn't speak in class, only in the streets

With the emcees and police running on concrete, must stay on his feet

Never fall to defeat, won't follow-he wanted to lead

Never a sheep, but sometimes- he was blinded by greed, why?

This is the no man's land, lost and alone

In a cold world fam, keep ya

Head high, above the clouds, stay fly

Fight through whatever, don't let ya self down, don't lie

I will never forget my past, even though I wish I could

Stuck here, I should escape, move out into the woods

And loot passing people for their goods, jungle rapper from the hood

Sasquatch maniac in the shadows, call me big foot

My circle is small, but intellectual and strong

Faster than the speed of sight and masterful, don't get me wrong

Right side, see these bright lights, I got it going on

Classical with the sound, mad lyrical content till the break of dawn

I bring the fire, the rap Messiah consciousness higher

Than Christ, will I get hung up on a cross and eternally wave goodbye

I donno no, I wouldn't be surprised, I've been chastised many times

But that's life, many faces, but I see no eyes

So many blind tunnels, like a fork in the road

Which way to go? Stay in your lane or follow the flow

Listen to your soul, you gotta be whole when taking steps towards

An unknown zone, while carrying a heavy load all alone

Let's set the tone, to what you, yourself Invision

The best version of yourself in perfect condition

Look, listen and learn from any angle or position

Positive thinking keeps winning, that's a given in this life we're living

Now it's beginning, the journey we're stuck within

Gotta go all out with no less than a hundred percent

You hear me, friend? Get your hands outta you pockets, and then

It's on with the future of you, it's your enlightenment

No! Don't look at them, just focus on your own situation

Check your lifes placement, where'd you place it?

You are enslaving your mind with the thoughts of others' payment

It's degrading, but you need to be upgrading your plan to greatness

One step closer to success, doing your best

Take a break if you're feeling stressed, no need to speed up the process

Just chill for a bit and come back stronger

Now you can fight much longer, driven by your passion and hunger

No matter if you come from riches or the slums

Money can make your mind go numb, it's more dangerous than a gun

First you're having fun, before you know it everything is gone

Even though life has just begun, now you stare into the sun

Yeah, what the hell happened, developed a pill habit

But from time to time you spill ill lines like a rhyme savage

But lost in madness and your thoughts require target practice

And you hate yourself for becoming an addict

Change your life, the solution? Well you have it

Make it happen and act on it, ask for help if you really want it

Do what you love and hold on to it, and remember to be honest

Especially to yourself, now take the world by storm and rise above it
