Rise

This is the end of every act that has been
Where the back gets packed and the when gets penned
Primed by a line, then a sine into waves
Finally aligned, we can flip this phase
First stage: Attain unity gain
Through reverse attenuation of our own domain
Where the maimed to do not feign who they are
Armored in beauty marks fools call scars
Feet of clay need to be beat
No throwing out shade to avoid the heat
See, the ravine between weak and strong
Both may fall, but one goes on
Fate, a slate, the gate awaits
But the fight's right now, might as well be great
Amputate the dead weight, sever all ties
It's time for you to

Rise (rise)
Put 'em up (aye)
Reach out and seize what needs to be realized
Rise
Between the eyes
Where the elevation lies we rise
Rise
Calling out (aye)
Throw down a rope of hope and open the skies
For you and I
So we can rise

Push through all hues black and blue
Pull back from the pack, aim high, and shoot true
Better unfettered, not tethered together to
Has-beens, have-nots, those who never do
Others and their druthers can negate great plans
'Cause people hate what they fear, what they don't understand
The mettle of a man is four nines fine
So preserve your neural net worth and pay no mind
Cash in the fact the past is aft ash
But the present is a gift and the future can be vast
Though the act of protracted battle is a dark art
Those who have the heart are gonna make their mark
I see thee suffused in solution
What used to be a seedling has sprouted revolution
Bask in a class, ever-summing in size
Come one, come all, and

Rise (rise)
Put 'em up (aye)
Reach out and seize what needs to be realized
Rise
Between the eyes
Where the elevation lies we rise
Rise
Calling out (aye)
Throw down a rope of hope and open the skies
For you and I
So we can rise

Speech that'll reach and is worthy to teach
Can be a lost soul's sought scroll, sermon of the streets
But bastions of action don't just defer to words
Truth is a scene, it is not a herd
To the battle-born, war torn, beaten and bruised
All the muted, forgotten, abandoned, abused
The view of few, that's gone unheard
It's now time for you to hear and heed these words
Thoughts get myopic when not on the mission
But seeing eye-to-eye is the way we share a vision
May this wisdom and all it implies be fuel for you to

Rise (rise)
Put 'em up (aye)
Reach out and seize what needs to be realized
Rise
In between the eyes
Where the elevation lies we rise
Rise
Let it ride (aye)
Throwing out all the doubts that cloud the skies
All allies, now we can rise
