Rise Lyrics
Against all odds i’m still tryna make it
in a land where ninety percent have to fake it
Surrounded by opportunity most never take it
Everyone has a dream, but scared to do the basics
I ain’t giving up, i’m just making my observations
Why every time we try and work theres always complications
Sometimes I wonder to myself if God has lost his patience
Or is it too late to fight back from this indoctrination
Self hating, Truth is, Yo…
You’re all apart of me
How we gonna make it happen
when we give away our art for free?
On to the next hustle…, No mastery
This for them backward brothers who tried laugh at me
Didn’t see the vision, shudda gone to Spec-Savers
How you gonna make a change when you’re f****** spectators?
Your thought patterns old school cassette player
How we gone be free when we’re debt payer?
I just want my people to rise
and realise if we align
we can reach for the sky
we’ve been asleep too long
stop believing the lies…..
X2
I hear the propaganda… but I ain’t falling for that,
Ever since we’ve been born we’ve been under attack,
Looked down upon, degraded cos I was black
when the biggest criminals run here and thats a fact,
Everybody envys so their searching for control,
Why work for some else when you can get it on your own?
Life’s unpredictable you never whats next,
One minute i feel depressed next minute I feel blessed
But it’s evident, we’re all apart of experiments
To try and merge humans and artificial intelligence
Media promote our wrongs instead of our rights
And It probably won’t change for the rest of your life…
I just want my people to rise
and realise if we align
we can reach for the sky
we’ve been asleep too long
stop believing the lies…..
X2
