Raise Up

Time to confront all the stigma You're baffled by my enigma I cannot fathom conditions That we the people may witness Meanwhile I play my position Live by the greatest intentions At sometimes might just turn cruel Don't try to dictate my moves Operated by highly favored low lifes, no life Shall supersede another, cause y'all my brothers nigga Strive to exceed my own standards my known ganders Seem out of reach at times, most likely cause I'm so random Tuning back into the station I represent the awakening of the shooters Pushers, movers, takers College kids, where knowledge live Praying for that scholarship So moms can see you make it through college, or just drop out and quit If money is power and knowledge is also I need that power bill enlighten, me colossal But what do I know, shit these are my opinions It's funny how when you're down You start ascending Usual suspects, our skin is brown, we thinning out The twenty sixes spinning around The system We've been in and out Poverty stricken, property thickens, probably trippin' pops probably missin', mommy has thotfull conditions, shit I know your story this our rise to glory I'm taking you there, take you a chair Have a seat, the odds are even now we making it fair I repeat, the odds are even now we making it fair Everything that you go through is your ticket, you must succeed Believe none of what you hear, and only half what you see Raise up out your dormant society, and f*ck sobriety If that's what it takes to get where you're going, then so be it Collect all the facts and factor in what doesn't matter They'd rather see your brains on a platter, don't get rattled That's the way of a nigga, we cursed and it shows F*ck ya life F*ck ya feelings F*ck ya goals nigga Whoah nigga Lord, can you help me to get where I'm going these day Cause my curse is a gift and my life needs a boost For the coming of change But my vision is blurry My family so worried I'm not even sure if I'm worthy, surely Lord can you give me a boost for this coming of change Lord can you hear me
