Rise

Oh how this beat takes me back to them streets I almost died at
Yet felt so alive at when them bullets start to fly past like whoa
Got me thinking to myself how in the fuck did I survive that
I'm under cover like eye mask never miss when I fire back
surgical like bypass I'm praying only to die fast not slow
I've done swam the lakes of Hell
Remind me where you been baptized at, Lets go
Now I done split his pecan shell
And he won't get that piece of pie back, Oh no
And only time will tell to see where the fuck my minds at

I see my futures bright now, limits in the sky now
Show em' these scars to remind you
Right now fruit is looking ripe now
Why wait on the dream to come and find you
And we Rise, and we Rise, that's how soldiers move
And we Rise, and we Rise, cause that's what were supposed to do

I saw a bigger picture coming back from overseas
My accolades were different than your bachelors degree
I had to get to chasing everything inside my dreams
I had to get to facing all the nights that made me scream
And there is no replacement for the horrors that I've seen
Making corpses since eighteen my life course has been upstream
No remorse for what has been yeah my horse is starting to win
Got my patience wearing thin cause I'm tired of losing friends

I see my futures bright now, limits in the sky now
Show em' these scars to remind you
Right now fruit is looking ripe now
Why wait on the dream to come and find you
And we Rise, and we Rise, that's how soldiers move
And we Rise, and we Rise, cause that's what were supposed to do

You see them combat patches on my jacket ain't no high fash'
I cat walked in Afghanistan, lost four of my nine lives, jack
So its no big surprise that with the last five I defy stats
And those who've criticized I've had no time to dignify that
I'm steady on my grind now with the time to improvise acts
I mean that shit for real I'm movie dealing just for side cash
Like I'm playing myself in a major motion picture
I see thru your fascad ass tryna' leave me sidetracked
I'm a leave you curb stomped slumped up right beside trash
Where them good vibes at, why you telling lies yeah
I swear I'm what the doctor ordered, talking bout prescribed yeah
I'm simply trying to fly I'm simply trying to thrive
I got that vengeance deep inside and this pistols on my thigh
I'm tired of the bullshit and the tears that I have cried
Like my homies by my side why the fuck did I not die
And we Rise, and we Rise, that's how soldiers move
And we Rise, and we Rise, cause that's what were supposed to do
And we Rise, and we Rise, that's how soldiers move
And we Rise, and we Rise, cause that's what were supposed to do
