Rise Up
I was down for the count, they counted me out
Labeled me dead, they fed my head and filled it with doubt
Never claimed to be perfect, but my purpose
To rise to the top cause I have seen where the worst is
They tried to write me off like I was cursive
But that's a lie, I'm more alive than a hearse is
Fortified, that's my vibe beyond the surface
It's worthless if you don't know what your worth is
I know my worth is bigger than a price tag
It's priceless, skills sharper than a knife fam
We school fools, so you fools couldn't quiz us
Unstoppable
Cut through obstacles like scissors
Chorus
Rise up
Get up, get out, get up and get something
Rise up
You know you've got to believe in something
Rise up
You just cannot settle to get nothing
Rise up
Don't never ever ever ever ever let 'em get you down
Verse
Nobody's here to save you, so wade through these waves to
Make it out, you've gotta breakdown before you breakthrough
At times, they're gon' blame you
Even if it's your fault, you've gotta aim to do what they can't do
Don't debate if you're great, that's not what greats do
And never tango with a hater, cause it takes two
The truest words I can tell you are to stay true
To who you are like every day was your debut
You've been through it all
You see a chance, others seeing a wall
So you don't need 'em at all, they can't stop you
Cause you've defeated it all
Rise up
Get up, get out, get up and get something
Rise up
You know you've got to believe in something
Rise up
You just cannot settle to get nothing
Rise up
Don't never ever ever ever ever let 'em get you down
