Rise Above It

Check the back side of my fist, I wreck it Troubled youth on his way to pick up a Smith and Wesson To get a quicker ending, the rope broke, he didn't learn his lesson Lost his best friend to this life, he just try to forget it Never counted any blessings, just his many sacrifices Despite this, he could only see his life was full of crisis But it flipped and turned upside down, he found a way around To stay bound to this earth with sound that made him keep on fighting this Life full of a lot of shit, lost down in a bottomless pit Climbed his way out of it, saw the light shine a bit Far away, gotta keep moving, have to go and get to it With no missed steps or mistakes, therapy writing is the fix He didn't speak in class, only in the streets With the emcees and police running on concrete, must stay on his feet Never fall to defeat, won't follow-he wanted to lead Never a sheep, but sometimes- he was blinded by greed, why? This is the no man's land, lost and alone In a cold world fam, keep ya Head high, above the clouds, stay fly Fight through whatever, don't let ya self down, don't lie I will never forget my past, even though I wish I could Stuck here, I should escape, move out into the woods And loot passing people for their goods, jungle rapper from the hood Sasquatch maniac in the shadows, call me big foot My circle is small, but intellectual and strong Faster than the speed of sight and masterful, don't get me wrong Right side, see these bright lights, I got it going on Classical with the sound, mad lyrical content till the break of dawn I bring the fire, the rap Messiah consciousness higher Than Christ, will I get hung up on a cross and eternally wave goodbye I donno no, I wouldn't be surprised, I've been chastised many times But that's life, many faces, but I see no eyes So many blind tunnels, like a fork in the road Which way to go? Stay in your lane or follow the flow Listen to your soul, you gotta be whole when taking steps towards An unknown zone, while carrying a heavy load all alone Let's set the tone, to what you, yourself Invision The best version of yourself in perfect condition Look, listen and learn from any angle or position Positive thinking keeps winning, that's a given in this life we're living Now it's beginning, the journey we're stuck within Gotta go all out with no less than a hundred percent You hear me, friend? Get your hands outta you pockets, and then It's on with the future of you, it's your enlightenment No! Don't look at them, just focus on your own situation Check your lifes placement, where'd you place it? You are enslaving your mind with the thoughts of others' payment It's degrading, but you need to be upgrading your plan to greatness One step closer to success, doing your best Take a break if you're feeling stressed, no need to speed up the process Just chill for a bit and come back stronger Now you can fight much longer, driven by your passion and hunger No matter if you come from riches or the slums Money can make your mind go numb, it's more dangerous than a gun First you're having fun, before you know it everything is gone Even though life has just begun, now you stare into the sun Yeah, what the hell happened, developed a pill habit But from time to time you spill ill lines like a rhyme savage But lost in madness and your thoughts require target practice And you hate yourself for becoming an addict Change your life, the solution? Well you have it Make it happen and act on it, ask for help if you really want it Do what you love and hold on to it, and remember to be honest Especially to yourself, now take the world by storm and rise above it
