Raise Up
Time to confront all the stigma
You're baffled by my enigma
I cannot fathom conditions
That we the people may witness
Meanwhile I play my position
Live by the greatest intentions
At sometimes might just turn cruel
Don't try to dictate my moves
Operated by highly favored low lifes, no life
Shall supersede another, cause y'all my brothers nigga
Strive to exceed my own standards my known ganders
Seem out of reach at times, most likely cause I'm so random
Tuning back into the station
I represent the awakening of the shooters
Pushers, movers, takers
College kids, where knowledge live
Praying for that scholarship
So moms can see you make it through college, or just drop out and quit
If money is power and knowledge is also
I need that power bill enlighten, me colossal
But what do I know, shit these are my opinions
It's funny how when you're down
You start ascending
Usual suspects, our skin is brown, we thinning out
The twenty sixes spinning around
The system
We've been in and out
Poverty stricken, property thickens, probably trippin'
pops probably missin', mommy has thotfull conditions, shit
I know your story this our rise to glory
I'm taking you there, take you a chair
Have a seat, the odds are even now we making it fair
I repeat, the odds are even now we making it fair
Everything that you go through is your ticket, you must succeed
Believe none of what you hear, and only half what you see
Raise up out your dormant society, and fuck sobriety
If that's what it takes to get where you're going, then so be it
Collect all the facts and factor in what doesn't matter
They'd rather see your brains on a platter, don't get rattled
That's the way of a nigga, we cursed and it shows
Fuck ya life
Fuck ya feelings
Fuck ya goals nigga
Whoah nigga
Lord, can you help me to get where I'm going these day
Cause my curse is a gift and my life needs a boost
For the coming of change
But my vision is blurry
My family so worried
I'm not even sure if I'm worthy, surely
Lord can you give me a boost for this coming of change
Lord can you hear me
You're baffled by my enigma
I cannot fathom conditions
That we the people may witness
Meanwhile I play my position
Live by the greatest intentions
At sometimes might just turn cruel
Don't try to dictate my moves
Operated by highly favored low lifes, no life
Shall supersede another, cause y'all my brothers nigga
Strive to exceed my own standards my known ganders
Seem out of reach at times, most likely cause I'm so random
