Rise Up -Opening-

[Intro]

Rise up! Rise up!

Rise up! Rise up!

Rise up!

[Verse 1: Del the Funky Homosapien]

The going get tough, they ain't tough, you're going

Precipitate the motive of pain, the rain and omen

Put it on 'em, I'm in my moment when I own 'em

As things get easier, the tougher my tone is

While I increase my hit count, they sit on the couch

So when I fight the live wire, I knock the spit out their mouth

Jump and stomp 'em up against the road

So hard they get thrown against the floor

It's all collateral damage, on the ladder of the janitor

I mop 'em up with both hands on 'em

As they lie about bygones be bygones

They should keep their eyes on the speed of the pythons

Uphill battle the upheaval they gon' know

Time revolves, I reach past the ozone

Look down, and piles of skeletons, old bones

Old infrastructure reconstructed is home grown

[Verse 2: Murs]

Ain't no greater competition than myself

Ain't got time to trip off anybody else

Crossing me's a contradiction to your health

Bro, you might just catch a Slug like the other half of Felt

Self referencing, I come from a deficit

I made my mark in the game and been a legend ever since

I'm the nerd that nobody believed in

Took a leap of faith and I jumped off of the deep end

They was sleeping but I always kept my eyes up

Once you hit the bottom, nothing else to do but rise up

I stood my ground, took things from all challenges

Who thought that I was weaker than the days on the calendar

Year after year, all they saw me do was elevate

Fans fill me up with so much love that I could never hate

Started from the underground, I'm fighting at the street level

Independent icon, one of the elite rebels

[Verse 3: Fashawn]

Ascended from the bottom, driven by my ambition

Diligent my description, did it without permission

Led by intuition like lead my ammunition

Bred to be the victor instead of being the victim

I don't play or pretend or plan on making a friend

Can smell the hate in the wind, feel obligated to win

Well-trained, you wasn't wit me a day in the gym

Had to find an outlet for all the anger within

Banging my fist against the kitchen table at night to block the gunshots, despite it I was able to write my way in the life

From veterans I'm taking advice, they gave me jewels and hopes of illuminating my life

I rose out the ashes, a pro had to practice

In order to perfect this talent that I collected

Obviously dedicated and I'm definitely destined

Not under the impression I'm under your oppression

I rise up

[Verse 4: Black Thought]

When I rise up I bruise, never broken

I move with a short fuse, my wounds never open

I swung and I caught dudes, my tools left them soaking in blood

For my determination is just but a token

My garland is bare knuckle brawling, ain't never falling

My sword in the air's more than the warning of global warming

When I'm strong-arming the brawn of a longshoreman it's a storm forming

I hit as hard as George Foreman in a square circle

When my intention is to hurt you I'mma better alert you

That's where prevention is a virtue

Be a body without a tomb, you're running out of fuel

I'mma throw you a sonic boom, show you how to duel

Bring you into the house of pain, putting out your flame

When I finish you like a game your crew will get the same

You tryna throw shame in my plans to make a name

I'mma put it on a weapon and put it in your brain

I'm a street fighter
