Description
Watch Me Rise! This is a song that I created while going through a lot of life's questions and struggles. Rather than allow it to hold me down, I've decided to "Get. Back. Up.", as the song says. I hope you enjoy it! Written by Street Light Beat by Matt Houston Mixed/Mastered by Optimuzik
Lyrics
CHORUS: “RISE” I trip and fall. Should I . .“RISE” Can’t bear it all can I . “RISE” They wanna hold me down. . .will I “RISE” face on the ground. . .but I - “I GET BACK UP” . . can’t let this drive me crazy. . “RISE” . . . .even though I been dodgin lately . . “RISE”. I know what God has made me. . . [Verse 1] Back in the booth. Back in the loop. Had a little mishap happen or two. But I’m hard to break like bad habits. Even though the devil wanna snap me in two. I aint damaged. I can’t have it. And the fact is I’m strapped with the Truth. . If the Word hadn’t stuck like a bandage with every single passage, I wouldn’t even be here right now rapping to you. . Like THAT! I got purpose in life. Outshining the fact that I never been perfect in my own personal hype. Learning through the curves, and the earth wind fire. Burned my personal vice. Liars get sniped in my lane with a verse. I remain while merging with Christ. Burning through the pain when I write. I deliver a message in a matter of seconds. And I got a little better, no question. I believe it in my heart, and now I got the confession. I'm relying on the Most High to give me protection. Enemies wanna step on him when am I gone let them? Never I'm more blessed than ever you might catch him severing ties. Several guys try to pull me away but I'm headed in another direction. Get back! You can't hold me down. Gotta lotta heart. And I'm focused now. In the beginning, when I was feeling limited and I was hearing things everybody seemed to want me bound..and tied.. but you can look me in my eyes. So when you see me coming around, I might be-tired, but I guarantee I smile. Cuz in the end, Imma show you all just how I RISE. [CHORUS x2] [Verse 2] Heart of a King. Voice of a lion. Harder to be me when I see these dudes lying. Talkin bout we be rhyming softer just because I stayed at the altar. Be quiet. Falter, you’ll never see me. I am often the only rapper here on fire. Keep the water. .don’t believe in trying. . . Back then I was destined to fail. Could’ve been up in the NFL with the way that I was running game and I was feeling the pain. Only way I’m moving chains is locked up. They got me in a cell. Tryna ball in the middle of it all when I’m just playing the field. I would kill for a calling. . appalled at the mill that they all wanna offer. Don’t bother. I’m worth more on skill. uh. My head up. And my kicks tied. And my faith long. They scared of. what I spit right. cuz I’m fed up and they dead wrong. I’m Street Light. And I’m made of. something that you dudes couldn’t even make up. I’m headstrong and I pray for everything that you fear til you wake up. . I’m BACK! This is aint even vengeance. This more like we been sitting down too long. And we been getting kicked so put on your Adidas with me. I’m different. Peace to weak that’s in me. Stand up, Christian! You can hear the heart that’s beating swiftly. Listen to the different reasons this is in me to RISE!
