Last Call Lyrics

I will rise up now

I will rise up now

I will rise up now

I will rise up now

On the way home, make a left into Nikki's Bar

Gotta rest for a minute, day was too hard

Going home right now it isn't for the best

Best to take an hour and forget the stress

Pull up a stool, double Jack and a Stella

Place is nearly empty, just me and some old fella

Gave a quick nod then turned back to my glass

Zoning on the newscast till he spoke up at last, said

Boy I've lived a lot of life; I see it on your face

It's a sad set of circumstances got you in this place

Hidden in your eye, don't think you can disguise

Lemme help you out tonight with a lil' bit advice

I figured like what the hell. And what have I got to lose

A couple minutes or so, at least to kill the booze

I settled in for the ride, thinking just another night

Didn't see that turning point coming quickly in my life

I will rise up now

I will rise up now

I will rise up now

I will rise up now

So, he lit up an unfiltered and started back at the top

And told me about his home and growing up with his pops

A loving and warm space, a family's embrace

But a firm backhand if you step outta place

You see daddy was a proud man, never took no crap

Said you're the only one who will ever have your back

And all throughout my life, as I've been across the land

From highest highs to lowest lows, I've always held that stance

I ordered another round as the story kept coming

Till he paused for a minute as if contemplating something

When he finally spoke again it was somber with the message

If I could pass on one thing from all my hard lessons

It's life gon' always try to beat you down and hold you back

And push you to the edge and kick you when you crack

So, when you're standing there and you're staring at the fall

The choice is up to you, do you jump or rise above it all

I will rise up now

I will rise up now

I will rise up now

I will rise up now

We parted way to the night, and feeling I'll be alright

I never talked him again, but keep that message at times

When life is getting too much, I think about giving up

And ram the front of my car into the back of that truck

I take a moment, and breathe, wait for the inner peace

Come back to reality, over my shoulder see

A figure off in the distance, a silhouette looking down

Turns around, walks away saying I will rise up now

I will rise up now

I will rise up now

I will rise up now

I will rise up now

I will rise up now

I will rise up now

I will rise up now

I will rise up now
