Rise

I will never give in to the lifeless days
I will never back down from the problems faced
I will turn my back on the world today
I will rise
I will rise

Rise up from the ashes
Rise up and keep fightin’
Knockout lines for these bastards
My pen is Mike Tyson
They tellin’ me hold up and I won’t stop now
But every time I stand up I keep gettin’ knocked down
In my fight with life I fuckin’ lost to myself
In my fight life sucker punched me below the belt
Nothin’ ain’t right I feel like somethin’s off
But I won’t fuckin’ stop, until I fuckin’ drop
And I meant it I won’t give up I got too much to risk
I never cared before but fuck it it’s time I gave a shit
So I pull myself together n I pick up my pen
Spill my blood on the page n never be the same again
It’s insane I’ve been so lost I need a map
In fact I don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t have rap
I’ve been a sleepin’ giant too long it’s time to act
I’ve been on the sidelines too long but now I’m back

I will never give in to the lifeless days
I will never back down from the problems faced
I will turn my back on the world today
I will rise
I will rise

I’m 6 feet deep in misery
Wonder if I killed myself who’d be missin’ me?
Worried bout shit on which I can’t speak
A coward behind all the havoc that I wreak
Surrounded by so much beef I could make minced meat
Feels like I’m swimmin upstream drownin’ in shit’s creek
If I rap honestly then they call me weak
If I died tomorrow would I get an RIP?
Fuck it, fuck em all I spent too much time givin’ a shit
Fuck a handshake 1 finger is all these bitches get
All you cocks can keep sayin how my shit’s wack
I’ll put my finger in a box n send a FUCK YOU that’s gift-wrapped
The name’s Devilish but I come with a divine rush
Anyone who stands in my way can get mindfucked
Cause Ima make it to the top before my time’s up
I’m at the bottom so I can only rise up

I will never give in to the lifeless days
I will never back down from the problems faced
I will turn my back on the world today
I will rise
I will rise

Went from country to country, from slum to slum
So it don’t faze me, when I see a gun
This world’s chewed me up and spat me out
So I’m sorry if money n hoes ain’t all I rap about
And if I don’t give a fuck when these bastards shout
But criticize my lyrics n that’s when the mac’s come out
So back the fuck off, everyone just give me space
Before I annihilate the fuckin human race
This is for every kid who’s ever needed a damn hug
They don’t understand us it’s time to stand up
So the terrorists might bust
Americans rise up
Oil companies use our waters like a dump
Somalia rise up
Kick out these corrupt government fucks
Egypt rise up
Yeah, everybody look deep inside
It may look hopeless but we will rise

I will never give in to the lifeless days
I will never back down from the problems faced
I will turn my back on the world today
I will rise
I will rise
