Obedear Lyrics by Salience

Look Alive

2013

[Verse 1: Salience]

I'm so tired, but I start to hear the melodies
I can't sleep when I have to build my legacy
Coming from the ground up, I can’t see the end for me
Drawn to the mic, like it was my destiny
All these haters push me down but I get up
Coming, full force, best believe I won't letup
I got God on my side and I'm getting b-better
You're a pawn to the King, but for me I'm a bishop and I'm
A couple step ahead like were playing some chess
Put my life in the game, rip my heart out my chest
I'ma give it all I got until I got nothing left
I've been learning all my life because this life is a test
And its, pass/fail, black and then white
Try to keep up with me 'cause I'm getting faster than light
I got these haters getting mad, tryna bash me in spite
But it doesn’t trouble me because I've mastered the mic and ah

[Hook: Purity Ring]
Oh but dear the sky is low
Gather up it's harm in gauze with grateful arms
Oh but dear the sky is low
Gather up it's harm in gauze with grateful arms

[Verse 2: Salience]
I spent 2 years building it up
Tell me if it's worth it 'cause I know I'm tearing it up
I gotta modest following, but that’s barely enough
But we'll take over the world, so fill up my cup
'Cause we’ll celebrate the future in the present
I only got a life, so I figure I should live it
Don’t tell me I can't finish all I needs another minute
I'm working for the nickels so one day I'll make the millions
I'm working from the heart in me. This music's just a part of me
They say I raped the game, but you can call it sodomy
Laughing to the bank, like my life's a comedy
My lyrics are insane, but nah I'm just a prodigy
Tell you 'bout my policy, I'll never fucking give up
If I'm getting kick into the ground I'ma get up
I'll perform on stages until the crowd is lit up
Until they have their hands up in the air like it’s a stick up (stick up)

[Hook]

[Bridge: Purity Ring]
Oh my dreams come back to me
Oh my wrinkles build on me

[Hook]
