RISE ABOVE Lyrics by Dat Throwdest Ghost

ODYSSEY

2018

[Verse 1]

Arisen from the ashes, birthed from the dirt
Endured all the worst and then lived through the hurt
Been through prehistoric, then through renaissance
Stood for a lot, all too nonchalant
Grew a few thorns to protect herself
Sometimes did well, other times, bad health
Got carried by day to a brand new world
Lived nights on edge, seen it all unfurl
Implanted with love and we know that's eternal
Pierced through belly of the beast
Sliced right at the girdle
Sharp at the tongue
Though her beauty is fertile
And calming for some
Uh, left her mark on the world
Some would call it a scar
But that's a little too far
We need to check who we are
Yeah, we need to check who we are
We ain't got, 'cause we ain't God
Uh, on God!
Screaming MashAllah!
Risen above, they listen to us
Only thing sure of that we have is love
Though before, we didn't know what that was
Is it coincidence that all we've known is up?
Look that way, then rose above
Made a way there once, then was broken down
In a race against time
And we're still there now
Bridged that gap, evolved a little
Watched her mature
Now, in hundreds of degrees, then, in icicles
Still, love remains, that's a common theme
Pigmentation, or lack thereof
Whether they believe or not, man, love is love
Coexist, that's enlightenment
Though every day we lose sight of this
What's this environment, ain't you tired of it?
Watched almost everything change
Yet we're still mostly the same
Ten percent of our brain? Dang...
What have we learned and what's really been taught?
Root of all evil, you know what that involves
Done more bad than good
Yet she withstood the cause
Standing strong, she moved along
Yeah, brightest days, darkest nights
There and gone, but just because of light
Maintained existence, but at the spite of what?
Is she just here to see what this becomes?
In a battle with our inner battles
Then we fight ourselves, for what prowess?
For more power, more callus?
From modern day, to pre-palace
Temples to pyramids, pretending we ain't hearing it
But knowing that we're feeling it
We've just been concealing this
From driest deserts to mist from the oceans
And she still sits
Somewhere on a cliff
So through this dirt, I sift...
