RISE [Intro]

[Verse: Marlon Craft] Perfecting my penmanship Spitting with precision and power, I'm never negligent You can blow me where I pee and [?] If hating's your prerequisite For all us who ain't buying what they selling, it's a masquerade I'd rather stumble on the path we made I held my self accountable, long before all my taxes paid 2012 is half as jaded Now my faith evaporating Praying for precipitation Drops of hope that can replace it The winds of truth could propel you or slow your journey down Evil don't show you its true intentions, it's flirty now The powers that be demonise moral obligation 'Cause if you keep settlin' that enables colonisation I'm often complacent [?] Lost and impatient Trapped souls left feeling awkward and vacant These streets is church Don't you dare try to alter the pavement you wasn't brought up and raised in and then spend all your days in That why I don't ever claim to have all the answers At best, I only know know what questions to ask [?] Gaze as they ingesting the trash Blind to the potential we have, shit I start to quiver Liquor invading my liver The whiskey imperialist What good is yelling from the roof if nobody hearing this shit? It's feeling like for us to love each other will take aeons The media we use is more social than we are Just tryin' to get my free on 'fore I end this run And when it's all said and done, I hope I be defined by what I've said and done My body of work'll be to large for a hearse They can never bury my heart in the dirt It's gonna rise And I don' came a long, long way You could hate me now Not a word you could say that could break me down I'm gonna rise [Outro: Demarjay Smith] "Either you work hard for it, or you don’t work hard for it. Me and my brother work hard for our stuff. It don’t come easy, in life you have to work."
