[Verse 1: ThatKidCry]
Slight progression, I'm invested
But what's more important is now I wanna protect this
Endless questions, never to forget them
I am not the student but you shower me with lessons
People talk but they never keep it meaningful
It's all a joke but I'd never think of leaving you
We will rise, keep everything in mind
You wonder if this life will ever keep you supplied
But I don't really think so; it's all a blur
You wonder if the lost will have ever returned?
Watching all the minutes like they never occurred
While you're waiting for a moment to forever be learned, yo
Check the watch - a thing that didn't have to be
Say you're sick of time but YOU changed the battery
Life is like an ink that forever has to bleed
My skin's about to change, so YOU can't be mad at me
I'll try to rise up, we ought'a find love
Try love at all - quit lookin' for "the right one"
Screw the humans, life is so equal
It's like I'm outta body while representin' the people
Dust off the path, I will try to be peaceful
Going all your lives while blaming Adam and Evil
You wanna be religious, you wanna be so dependent
You wanna worry bout s**, you wanna worry bout image
DO YOU in the end, be evidence of the heart
Instead of falling off of the precipice of a scar
Two different visions - how we depictin' a star
I'm livin' on the Earth, y'all be livin' on Mars
Yo, lights off...Rise up
Now YOU hold the light inside they might love
They wanna be the key so find the right one
To unlock the door where we'll wife this life up
She's better than before but you're next to know
That you're prolly number 3 so expect to go
Cause every time you love you have to try, huh?
I'm in an evil love affair with the mic, but
You never once tried to read what I write
Cause it might've meant the difference on a night like this
I once met a girl with a knife sliced wrist
I told her that I'd love her if she'd just try'n live
But everything I said was a lie, I was young
Now I rise up, spit lies from my tongue
Look for the girl with the scars on her arms
That's a part of my life where my heart was carved
I love the living, one for pity
I'm elevating higher - first floor was sh**ty
You'd really be surprised if you felt what I felt
I'm only gonna fall if you're going through hell
It's everything I am.. I'm all that I have
But I am not the turtle when I fall on my back
I will find my feet... find my scene
Seek out the people that'll guide my dreams
But I won't look far cause they're here for me
And I betchu right now that their ear's to me
There's a love that I got, for the peace; naive
I'm a hippy on the mic but it beat that beats
Gotta beat scenes, maybe start flyin'
Wishing for a pull in the spotlight, We gotta make time
Once more, stand behind the shut doors
Work it all together and try forever to love more
We gotta rise, take care of the knife
Catch all the waves and parasail with the life
Colors never mattered, I know it's easy to write
But everything is easy when I speak on the mic
Let it run.. let it ride... I'mma take my stride
Walk through life with that aim to rise...aim to rise
