Rise

You know I saw my shrink today and said my thoughts are feeling fatal
He said I'm not thinking clearly I just need to pop more pillies
Here's some Prozac and Effexor this should help with your depression
There's no way to cure the system that breeds life off your oppression
So I'm
Living everyday like I'm hanging off the ledge
Should I kill 'em all with kindness or serve up some revenge
They're spitting in my face while they pass me from their Benz
'Cause they know they are protected by the system from these hands
So what's a man to do when the world is out to get me
Got the twelve in my rearview when I'm west side of the city
If I make a complaint then I'm accused of wanting pity
So what's a man to do when life is
Killing me
People glare, people glare like I owe something
As if they don't already own most of it
Got me losing my mind
Just want a way to pass the time
'Till I'm met with my demise
So I take what was prescribed
And inject another line
'Till I'm yelling at the sky
Oh God won't you let me feel numb
You drug me up and tear me down and you feed me lies
Anything you gotta do to control my mind
The time to rise is now I'm coming to take what's mine
You can't control me no more I've opened up my eyes
So now we rise, rise, rise to life
You can't control me no more I've opened up my eyes
So I'm
Starting every race from twenty paces back
It's something you get used to with this wetness on your back
They wanna see us fail
But my friend we must prevail
They can send us any storm
And we'll walk right through the hail
So put that bottle down and step back from that ledge
Our future can be bright don't let the system leave you dead
Enough with all the drugs
Embrace the torment in your head
And carry on when I'm gone 'cause life is
Killing me
People glare, people glare 'cause I stole something
I stole that power that they held from me
Now they're losing their minds
Wishing for the better times
When I didn't cross the line
Only took what was prescribed
Now I'm taking back what's mine
I got them singing the line
Oh God won't you let me feel numb
You drug me up and tear me down and you feed me lies
Anything you gotta do to control my mind
The time to rise is now I'm coming to take what's mine
You can't control me no more I've opened up my eyes
So now we rise, rise, rise to life
You can't control me no more I've opened up my eyes
You drug me up and tear me down and you feed me lies
Anything you gotta do to control my mind
The time to rise is now I'm coming to take what's mine
You can't control me no more
I've opened up my eyes
You drug me up and tear me down and you feed me lies
Anything you gotta do to control my mind
The time to rise is now I'm coming to take what's mine
You can't control me no more I've opened up my eyes
So now we rise, rise, rise to life
You can't control me no more I've opened up my eyes
So now we rise, rise, rise to life
You can't control me no more I've opened up my eyes
