Rise

Hey
Yea, yea

I can't deny my heart is broke, yea
But I will rise, I got that glow, yea
Hey
Yea yea
I can't deny my heart is broke, yea
But I will rise, I got that glow, yea
I got it, I got it
Got that glow, yea

I gotta story to tell to you niggaz like Biggie
Promise you the shit I'm bout to document ain't pretty
Situations too complicated to elaborate'em
So it's gaslight, and over saturation
That repaints these walls
They talk, pissed off
OD off these grapes
Real kings don't hate
Sleeping habits ain't safe
She combative
You wildin, too childish
Stay awake
Monsters livin in your conscience kill you with the nonsense
Don't rattle your cage fam
Uh
Don't rattle your cage fam
Uh
No matter the case fam
You steady limping, could be hip hopping, but you hang the gat off ya' waist fam
Uh
Magic you waste fam
Uh
Not referring to Lakers
Referring to leeches you let see ya' plate
Since you was a fetus, they looked in ya' face and told you believe'em
Crowns run from a coward
Uh
Pride never get devoured
Uh
Love always been showered
Uh
This here soapbox where I wrote my
Manifestation for hope, I
Gathered restraint
Cuz cuffin Queen don't solve my problems
Overflowing what I kept bottled
Exposing where I wept, sorrow
Nondisclosure for the less honorable
But I look in the mirror and feel like a hypocrite
Thinking humility's something to glorify
I'm still at war with I
I always ball my eyez
But tears don't ever fall, it's fine
For years
Death been calling my line
Weird how shawty don't call me at times
Jay insisted that it's all in my mind
O insisted that these feelings are normal
Reiff contrasted his story from mine
Told me to find my happiness, even when blind
You have the advantage of speaking to elders
Knowing your worth
People will tell you
Some wanna hurt
Some wanna help you
Putting you first
But none of these habits will last
So I'm happy I crashed
Word
None of these habits will last
So I'm happy I crashed
Word
Word
Yea
Cuz I got it
I got it, I got it, I got it
Yea

I can't deny my heart is broke, yea
But I will rise, I got that glow, yea
I got it, I got it
Got that glow, yea

Introspection amidst hopelessness
Deep thought to cope with this
Imma achieve dreams given in my sleep
Sowing into fertile ground to reap
Blessings written in the constellations
Connections to shine in the darkest situations
Motivation to those stargazing
No more waiting, start chasing
Purpose over popularity
Surplus over scarcity
Healing holistically helping humanity
Sealing solace to sustain sanity
Smile in the face of anger and pain
Laugh in the space of strangers' disdain
Your map to success Google can't arrange
Kneel to the Lord to show you the ways (Waze)
Life is a jungle, Jumanji maze
I could've stumbled, I'm kinda amazed
I was raised with lions, tigers, and bears
The way they played showed me life wasn't fair
I stared fear in the face until I wasn't scared
I didn't care, 'til I finally dared
'Til I saw I was rare, 'til I was aware
That God's glory shone from the glare
Off the mirror reflecting my soul
The wounds I neglected now whole
The tunes I project now bold
Good news the object and the goal
If I could choose, I'd set the mold
But I don't have the plans of the Father
To shape destinies, the hands of the Potter
His touch constructs delicate designs
Not luck, instructions of relevant assignment
How time bends to the will of men
Joshua stopped the sun to fulfill his mission
Impossible incredible faith in the midst
Of unstoppable struggles with confidence to wish
On the greatest star and see it relent
That's why I stay on my knees and repent
Cleanse my mind and heart when I'm spent
Don't want static with the One whom I'm sent
From to pluck folks from the pit
Getting off the grid, pitching my tent
To evaluate decisions, disconnection
To engross with precision the lessons
Do the most with His gifts and blessings
Eschew hosts of hedonism, insurrection
Time to get on track - introspection

I can't deny my heart is broke, yea
But I will rise, I got that glow, yea
I got it, I got it
Got that glow, yea
I can't deny my heart is broke, yea
But I will rise, I got that glow, yea
Yo
Got that glow, yea

Still shaky but I won't panic
I'm so damaged, no I'm not
I'm over dramatic, but traumatized
I hope this is landing in Momma's eyez

Wait a minute, it's natural to feel
We have habits to heal
Life is a mixture of tragic reveals
The beauty and pain amassed will instill

If I can obtain the passion to heal
The love on my brain is actually real
Focused on running away, I'm the star of gang
But I wanted the mass appeal
Damn it's real, Trav, how do you feel?

The heart's a river with a dam installed
Regulate the flow of love or fall
Have standards to lean on, stand up tall
Be careful of what has you enthralled

Well shit I think I done slammed some walls
Caused Tsunami that ran across my family's heart
Washing away that comfy home
That can't be lost! That can't be lost!

Grave mistakes can break the ground
Bodies in the dirt and cover the mound
Forgiveness, humility - powerful sounds
Resurrection of the dead from the ground

Life is a thriller
My Cousin was living his life as a killer
Never been the type to admit it
Eerie confessions, I'm praying he listen to me

I pray he listens, life is a prison
When decisions entice derision
Vices commission and slice proficient
The illest intentions get diced in volition
Regret follows strife - the prize division
Don't let sorrows swallow your mission
Follow the example of Christ who's arisen
Conquer tomorrow contemplate wisdom
Conquer tomorrow contemplate wisdom

I can't deny my heart is broke, yea
But I will rise, I got that glow, yea
Got that glow, yea
I can't deny my heart is broke, yea
But I will rise, I got that glow, yea
I got it, I got it
Got that glow, yea
