Raise Up (Battle Cry)

Raise up this here is my battle cry and I'm going to fight for family till the day I die
Raise up I said this here is my battle cry we all have a purpose so I'm defining mines
Raise up I said this here is my battle cry and I'm gon fight for family till the day I die
Raise up I said this here is my battle cry raise up cause this here is my battle cry

We're in that system where they're hell bent against ya
How we supposed to thrive when they always fighting with ya you're not
It's like a recipe for victims
Gotta keep the masses distracted to stop us from switching
Don't get it twisted it's not even they mission
It's more of a tool they use to cause the divisions
To keep you fighting each other instead of oppositions
Why do you think the oppressed stay working instead of just living
Raise Up see I am an intervention
I'm warrior born which means I am unforgiving
I have empathy for those that are locked in a mental prison
And I wish to set them free to introduce them to wisdom
But what as I've learned this ain't as easy as it seems
For most of y'all this is all that you've seen
And uh I'm not even sure if I can pull this off clean
So um raise up if you know what I mean now Raise Up

Raise up this here is my battle cry and I'm going to fight for family till the day I die
Raise up I said this here is my battle cry we all have a purpose so I'm defining mines
Raise up I said this here is my battle cry and I'm gon fight for family till the day I die
Raise up I said this here is my battle cry raise up cause this here is my battle cry

If I'm a warrior in the garden just imagine in war
Which means I'm ready to die for whatever I stand for
It's not a metaphor
This is a score that I'm settling
And it'll be me that be meddling
With your system like Ritalin
Fiddling with your grip that's been swindling
Our lives away
Until you realize there's a price to pay
Either way I'm gonna catch you on a brighter day
Truth Lies in the Darkness is what I always say
So understand that what I'm speaking is my battle plan
I had to silence my fear remember who the Hell I am
Respect cause there's some things that I'll never stress
Three steps ahead of the game like I'm playing chess
But I admit there's still thing that I'll never get
Like who's on the checker board playing checkers still tryna flex
I guess it is what it is you get as good as you give and that's why karmas the shit

Raise up this here is my battle cry and I'm going to fight for family till the day I die
Raise up I said this here is my battle cry we all have a purpose so I'm defining mines
Raise up I said this here is my battle cry and I'm gon fight for family till the day I die
Raise up I said this here is my battle cry raise up cause this here is my battle cry
