Rise - Evolution lyrics

{"You can go anywhere"} [Verse 1: Rise] A word grew to be a bar,then a bar to a verse This verse grew to be a song then the song to a thirst A thirst to a search for diverse persons to work It didn't work so I became the persons I searched And practiced the gifts Instead of buying jackets and kicks I needed sh** that'll get me better samples and kicks And better audio and other things improving the sound Money and family can't mix like Honey Love and Doo Doo Brown So I don't borrow, 9 to 5, I come home and rap In open mics hopin' that they pull my name out a hat I need time to grow cause I can think and write like the man But I rhyme to the floor and muffle the mic with my hand I'm kinda busy now but try to always write when I can I gotta make it man, my face'll like nice on a van So from tapes to dats to features on tracks on wax Learn to blaze the tracks but leavin' the past as the past And keep growin', keep flowin', movin' on with no problem If not I'd still be kickin' my verse off the Lounge album Little more respect I'm gettin' now and it's about time Cause n***a's knew I rhyme but they didn't know if I rhyme ryhme Look, I'm unsigned still now but ask if I care Evolving high-speed, from a tree seed to a chair So if your doin' what you love and don't believe in your fear {"You can go anywhere"} [Verse 2: Rise] Now try to stop me if you dare I love rap now it's not just a seedy affair The CD is here, cease to believe in the rare This MC that'll lead a crew that's deeper than his The weak interfered but now you see that the weak isn't here We learned to say f** cats that only recently cared So beats are prepared, for weeks we've been tweaking these snares And working out, running miles, punching meat in a freezer And grew to the point where now I only speak to your leaders You can't stop me so (?) me, the hardest'll pa** You went the whole 9 yards, I went 9 and a 1/2 The length of the field, scored, did the Bird, kept running Then in to the crowd to roars and applause I'm buggin' Sprint to the back row and down the back of the wall Same speed as before and still protecting the ball Controlling my breath, timing my steps, rhyming with depth Yo Rise is wylin' out how much lines he got left? Well I'm the main character and now this movie just started You wack rappers signed your d**h warrant as soon as you bought it So welcome to a mind state that's dark but still bright A lot of innovators now are hard to still like Yo everydody falls but that's not my story You gotta hand it to me that's why my fans support me People that once ignored, bored, now they brag they saw me Rise, I elevate, simple, self-explanitory
