Born 2 Rise
Through my eyes
The foundation
On which I stand
Unbroken
Unsilenced
By the spoken word
In a world where
Only time will tell
Through my eyes
Dead bodies on the streets
Means no peace
Everywhere you turn
It's a nightmare and tragedy
Blood stain the streets
Like it never did before
I open up my eyes
And all I see is war
Do we even try to think
Lost in direction
Clutching on a thirty eight
Caliber connection
My protection
Means more than the next mans'
I stand with my head up
On the next plans
Birds were born to fly
They say thugs are born to ride
Maybe I was born to rise
And study every lesson
Through my eyes
Birds were born to fly
They say thugs are born to ride
Maybe I was born to rise
And study every lesson
Through my eyes
Just be safe
Snakes they'll get ya
And it might start
With your enemies picture
Listen to me I'm not cold
I'm just searching for my home
But then I get a call
From my brother in the pin
I miss him dearly
When will it end his misery
Of waking up in penitentiary sheets
I speak I never tried to preach
I only prayed for peace
So why did I have to bury
Most of my homies
It's lonely
So the liquor and the weed
Consoles me
In my shadow
Tell me what you see
Is it just me
Or is it just another reflection
Of why me
Questions I ask many
Because I'm still not settled
In this world like the rest
Never was it in me
To lose faith over hard lessons
Greater lessons are harder learned
I'm stressed
But I'm still blessed
Birds were born to fly
They say thugs are born to ride
Maybe I was born to rise
And study every lesson
Through my eyes
Birds were born to fly
They say thugs are born to ride
Maybe I was born to rise
And study every lesson
Through my eyes
Yeah though I walk
Through the valley
Of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil
For thou art with me
Thy rod
Thy staff
They comfort me
Thou preparest a table before me
In the presence of mine enemies
Thou anoint my head with oil
My cup runneth over
Surely goodness and mercy
Shall follow me
All the days of my life
And I will dwell
In the house of the Lord
Forever
The foundation
On which I stand
Unbroken
Unsilenced
By the spoken word
In a world where
Only time will tell
Through my eyes
Dead bodies on the streets
Means no peace
Everywhere you turn
It's a nightmare and tragedy
Blood stain the streets
Like it never did before
I open up my eyes
And all I see is war
Do we even try to think
Lost in direction
Clutching on a thirty eight
Caliber connection
My protection
Means more than the next mans'
I stand with my head up
On the next plans

They say thugs are born to ride
Maybe I was born to rise
And study every lesson
Through my eyes
Birds were born to fly
They say thugs are born to ride
Maybe I was born to rise
And study every lesson
Through my eyes
Just be safe
