Rise!

Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's Aq Xico
I need yal to remember the name
I know it's complicated but you'll get it

Ayy, welcome to my soiree
This is how we party, hardly sorry
Doing my thing and I'm stumbling from the bar, hey
Hollering at your shorty, the parlayer
I make your heads bop, I'm Aq the rhymesayer
Rock the whole thing up
Look out, I'm on my way up
Wattup to my ballers, wattup to my players
Wattup to my shorties, wattup to my haters
And I can spit it backpack anytime I rhyme
But I'm having a good time and that ain't what's on my mind
While the rides and the watches and Franklins inside the pockets is all dope
I'm thinking about the rhymes that I wrote
'Cause if something I spoke provoked your hopes to dwindle
That ain't what I did it for, I'm supposed to be a symbol
Got a sister and a brother, a few cousins, uncles, friends
Who couldn't be here if they wanted to
For them, we rise

Everybody rise, we alive, we survived
Hands to the sky
Hands to the sky
Everybody rise, we alive, we survived
Do you feel the vibe
Hands to the sky
Everybody rise, we alive, one life
And then we say goodbye
So let's do it tonight
Everybody rise, we alive, we survived
Hands to the sky
Hands to the sky

Ayy, half a dozen shots to the face
Do the running man in place, gun up in my waist
You're doing something wrong if you ain't sweating like a race
From the festivals to avenues, work hard, play
I'm fucking with that pure sticky green, so don't lace it
I know a dozen bad bitches, none of them are basic
Victory apparent in the air, I can taste it
And finally my destiny is clear like Lasik
All the struggle, trouble, and scandalous motherfuckers
Could've all been for nothing, but instead it made me tougher
And all the doubt I had, and still continue to have
Is about to be replaced by newer and better habits
I lacked so much for so long, I gotta have it
I waited so long for my own version of Hagrid
To pick me up and tell me that I'm capable of magic
But now I'm done waiting, I just go and I grab it
And every vibe I've ever put out came out
Living like I'm dying cause I feel like I died with my sister and came back
And speaking on my pain keeps bringing the pain back
So I can't move past the darkest parts of my past
So I'm living fast
And maybe you don't ever see me expressing my pain
But I feel everything. Tears on the wedding ring
I woke up and found myself on my knees in the rain
So I rise

Everybody rise, we alive, we survived
Hands to the sky
Hands to the sky
Everybody rise, we alive, we survived
Do you feel the vibe
Hands to the sky
Everybody rise, we alive, one life
And then we say goodbye
So let's do it tonight
Everybody rise, we alive, we survived
Hands to the sky
Hands to the sky

And I'd give anything to change things, erase things
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
But the story is mine, and the struggle is mine
And it made me who I am, and I turned out fine
Better than fine, if you don't mind me saying
So I will enjoy my life if you don't mind me staying
I wasn't put on this planet to live average
If I was, then my struggle would've only been average
But it wasn't. It was madness
So I'm breaking the patterns and I rise

Everybody rise, we alive, we survived
Hands to the sky
Hands to the sky
Everybody rise, we alive, we survived
Do you feel the vibe
Hands to the sky
Everybody rise, we alive, one life
And then we say goodbye
So let's do it tonight
Everybody rise, we alive, we survived
Hands to the sky
Hands to the sky

Everybody rise, we alive, we survived
Hands to the sky
Hands to the sky
Everybody rise, we alive, we survived
Do you feel the vibe
Hands to the sky
Everybody rise, we alive, one life
And then we say goodbye
So let's do it tonight
Everybody rise, we alive, we survived
Hands to the sky
Hands to the sky
