Rise Lyrics by Birdz

Train of Thought

2016

[Intro: Birdz]
Karma gonna [?]... (What, what, what)
Karma gonna [?]...

[Verse 1: Birdz]
So how ya gonna tell me I should give up
On everything I wanted and everything I could think of
To be better than I am right now
Got me thinkin’ what’s the plan right now
Damn, got the time but no patience
The senate of the ancient, they try to keep me waitin’
Sucked in the past like I ain’t gonna make it
Starin’ down the barrel of the gun I take aim with
Knowledge and wisdom that I got from the old people
Melody and song keep me strong in all evil
At a distance, my pops had a vision
That one day his son would touch the sky and get lifted
To the heights that he’d never seen before (seen before)
His only hope was that his son would have more (have more)
Now I’m kickin' down the doors that he opened
Tryna stay focused like this is my opus, man

[Pre-Chorus: Birdz]
Nobody can do it quite like I can
‘Cause I stand
With my pride still intact, yo, what’s deeper than rap?
I’m the rose that made it through the concrete cracks

[Chorus: Jimblah & Birdz]
We raise our hands up to the sky
Our fire burns all through the night
And our souls rise up from the ash
And after all this time
With the love and the strength that we have
We have come, we won’t be denied
Why don’t ya stand up and take your own stand?
The time is right
It’s time, it’s time, it’s time

[Verse 2: Birdz]
Tell me why success is so bad, brah?
Tell me why you want it, but you’re scared to really have it, huh
Man, I’m just tryna climb the ladder, brah
They say health is that matters, I ain’t had it much
Self-medicatin’ every chance that I got
Thinkin’ I was at the top of my game
And everything had changed
The day that my seed felt the rain I became
Different on a whole ‘nother level (‘nother level)
My position in the game switched up and I got better
Things to think about now like how to hold a child down
And how to raise ‘em up, say the head fit the crown now ‘cause, man

[Pre-Chorus: Birdz]
Nobody can do it quite like I can
‘Cause I stand
With my pride still intact, yo, what’s deeper than rap?
I’m the rose that made it through the concrete cracks

[Chorus: Jimblah & Birdz]
We raise our hands up to the sky
Our fire burns all through the night
And our souls rise up from the ash
And after all this time
With the love and the strength that we have
We have come, we won’t be denied
Why don’t ya stand up and take your own stand?
The time is right
It’s time, it’s time, it’s time

[Verse 3: Birdz]
So what ya livin’ for, what ya livin’ for?
For the money, for the fame, or the staple?
What ya livin’ for, what ya livin’ for?
For the money, for the fame, or the staple?
What ya livin’ for, what ya livin’ for?
For the money, for the fame, or to be free?
To be free, to be free
To be free, to be free

[Bridge: Jimblah]
We raise our hands up
The fire’s burnin’ bright
After all this time
We have come
To rise

[Chorus: Jimblah & Birdz]
We raise our hands up to the sky
Our fire burns all through the night (burning)
And our souls rise up from the ash
And after all this time
With the love and the strength that we have
We have come, we won’t be denied
Why don’t ya stand up and take your own stand?
The time is right
It’s time, it’s time
