Rising Up Lyrics

The test of time

Has been lost to lies

So I gotta comprise

I must decide

If it was my fault?

Or if that's how it goes?

On these lonely roads?

It goes to show

But I gotta act ravenous

Until I'm famished

I exhort

My abhor

To those

Who ask for

A little more

They mad that I'm on course

I ran that race without a horse

Only had two now I'm driving all four

Whenever you speak I get bored

Listening is becoming a chore

But if they ask I know I'm sure

But you need to watch how I score

I do it effortless

All I did was practice

You didn't put the work in

I ain't no soldier I ain't finna copy that

Cut my hands off just to reach right back

I'm not about to explain this

You ain't a genius

It's not that complex

What do you know about us?

We flip the dollar

Make it double dutch

My conscious

Struggles to keep up

Watch who you praise

I notice the cliches

I don't take breaks

Not even on my bday

We can get a replay

We can really see things

But if sleep

I lucid dream

As my reality

Becomes the thing

That I cannot see

They said I need

To change the way

That I think

I said leave me be

Because I sting

I hope I don't swing

How they want me to

I just tryna be comfortable

They're so untouchable

As I'm looking up to you

I'm rising

While fighting

The currents

On the surface

So don't disturb me

Or deter me

The serpents

Keep rising

But I'm rising up

I'm not giving up

Until I've

Earned enough

Calling me an oofie

I am not your offspring

Then I get offensive

Then you get defensive

Wait before you end up defenseless

Your fortress

I de-fenced it

Broke it down

Then rebuilt it

Just so you can rent it

Shooting stars ridding

Of the competition

I master patterns

Stuck with repetition

Doctor gave me meds

I sold them instead

Customer wound up dead

They want them to be me instead

Boy you got the gall

To move your jaws

In such a tone

Thinking you'll spin the block

But you playing with Rubix cubes

Yeah I'm looking at her chess

To plan my next moves

Ride the RS cuz I skipped the queue

But who knew?

I'm one to one

With your number one favorite

The only way they can play me is when it comes to the music

Wise men can't sit and act stupid

He think he solid

But he a diluted fluid

I'm the prophet

Who spoke the truest

I make it clear when I execute it

I'm rising

While fighting

The currents

On the surface

So don't disturb me

Or deter me

The serpents

Keep rising

But I'm rising up

I'm not giving up

Until I've

Earned enough

Got a lot of pain ain't nobody seen

As friend groups split at the seems

Can't pick a side when leading a team

I don't do drugs, I don't sip lean

But I got a little tilt at 45 degrees

The sun ain't out but I still see a gleam

From how you move I know you scheme

About making and seeing me bleed

I got coal

Buried into my soul

Waited too long

Will I ever reach a goal?

That path you take is

So dark you can not see

The tragedies on us

And then it falls on me

The day I rest in peace

God have mercy on me

Because these words that I speak

Will be stuck on repeat

Before the pattern turns bleak

You know what I mean

But not what I seek

While I rise you'll stay there

Bird got caught in a snare

Kick your cage because I don't care

I called for your name but you chose not to hear

I'm rising

While fighting

The currents

On the surface

So don't disturb me

Or deter me

The serpents

Keep rising

But I'm rising up

I'm not giving up

Until I've

Earned enough

I have a theory

The enemy see what they wanna see

You better watch who you call

They might plan your downfall
