[Intro] [Rise talking] What it is people? Yo, they wanna know. Why, how, when, who? The purpose That's what it's about So I'm here with the Avid Record Collector, this evening And we gonna...Yo f** it [Verse One] Rise is the name and likewise the motto Till the right turn to gain The highs, mids and bottom Your game k**ed by volume or subpar releases A rapper every two feet that thinks he can freak it A studio in every PC, easy recording Projects 80 floors, 90 labels every story But the hustle I don't knock Minorities paid And enjoy the segue way between cradle to grave From the naval we ate, once it's cut you're alone So my dogs bury they bones in the girlies in Rome (that's right) Rats in a maze with no time to stall Smellin' the cheese but eat through the wall I grind like I'm cinnamon, captivatin' topics But y'all would rather listen to Andy Milonakis So I'm leanin' on the wall, hands in my pockets Holdin' onto keys while you struggle with the lock pick Rise [Scratch Hook] [x4] "Go put the word out, y'all know who's back in town" Rise [Verse Two] Who is it? It's the ceremony master, the poetry king The oratory emperor, the czar of the zings The breath of nice air, from nowhere when it's smelly Since a high chair been a nightmare with Freddy The, f** the fashion, the rules of expire The drunken dragon, fuelin' the fire The link missin', relate but think different So sync spittin', these puppets are lip syncing
The ships sinkin', the cries of people grieving The Audacity of Dope, the change you can believe in The crew soaks though they party in storms (Why?) The tomb's open, the body is gone The Icarus, n***a rich, fightin' the old fight Faith is takin' step without seein' the whole flight The synonym for growth Conscious in the mornin' My johnson when I'm whorin' The monster that's recordin' Rise [Scratch Hook] [x4] "Go put the word out y'all know who's back in town" Rise [Verse Three] It's the calm, the composure while rackin' my brain What if the light at the end of a tunnel is a train? Worried about my posse/team, workin' out to Rocky Themes Martin on the mountain, Dream, waters on the fountain stream Up, then they fall, then they circle, repeat What reaches to the clouds must return to the street Just to bounce to the stars, build momentum and speed Or you'll come out for a second, with no mention, you'll leave Everybody's on the "me", I'm the atlas indeed Maps for Jack to trade the family cat for magical beans I'mma come up, increase, climb mount, get higher Ascend, overthrow, float, escalate, the flier Levitate, soar, to rocket or despite The jump to dunk all height like the price of gas and mice To come up Like waters in a volatile sea (And what else) An EP by an army of me It's Rise [Scratch Hook] [x4] "Go put the word out y'all know who's back in town" Rise
