Testo "Rise up"

Living in the big city

The American dream

Is far roaming in the streets of greed

Everywhere I turn Im on a mission for more

But I aint selling my soul

With the dope theres no girl

Im on a one way box to the top

Hitting the strip but got a sound that would rally the block

Im in the fast lane and I wont stop

You aint nothing but talk

You Couldnt hang on the rope by ball

This life that I live

It aint for the weak

Got my roddy gangster that came off the street

Im trying to keep the peace

but I gotta keep my pace

Got these drunk police

Want me all rappy

And Im searching for the higher ground

I want my head in the sky

So high that I cant come down

Leave your lies in every town across the nation

Cause you can never stop to play

Gotta Rise up(to the top,to the top)

Cant stop(How high can you get?)

Gotta Rise up(to the top,to the top)

Cant stop(How high can you get?)

Cause what goes up must come down

So we gotta rise up to the Higher ground

Rise Up(Rise Up)

Rise Up(Rise Up)

Rise Up(Rise Up)

How high can you get?

Cruising in the drop chevy

Got my foot on the floor

Im hitting switches and my brim is heavy

You wanna look inside

And see whos crossing the brine

Curiosity is killing you

With stick in the prime

I get high from the brim in the set

Never gripping the square

But all you haters couldnt hold my.

Dont need a clip for my ? straight

You should leave it alone

And check your toe cause my line will spit

This right heres as high as it gets

Somebody likes it..the hell

Cause you stepped on the sex

But guess who will show you,you gotta pass the check

Got my clock on deck and my custom vest streets

You came,for me Im the best

And you can keep the dress

Cause Im smoke at the less

Turn a step back Im tired of getting pushed

Gotta rise up to the top(to the top)

Cant stop(How high can you get?)

Gotta rise up to the top(to the top)

Cant stop(How high can you get?)

Cause what goes up must come down

So we gotta rise up to the Higher ground

Rise Up(Rise Up)

Rise Up(Rise Up)

Rise Up(Rise Up)

How high can you get?

I go psycho

Crazy Michael Myers

Except the stages on fire going higher

Cause when I lean on a flyer

Theres so much more to make the whole city rise

This defines a man to get the whole world lifted

Wall man trying to make a land with a mission

Theres no way you can stand in this position

You cant take the heat get the f*ck about the tension

Go with the will to hustle,you see if we hit the floor youll never stop it you aint got the muscle

Were going to world top,homeboy this is the show

We gotta blow up the stage be out the door

Sometimes we all nedd an escape

So when we form our track

Well get your mind while we get the stat

I made a pack with a crew on the hill
