Sareem Poems - Rise lyrics

[Intro] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Oh [Verse 1: Flynn and CookBook] There's a pa**ion inside, there's a sound in my mind And I always try to get out and free In a room full of dudes who are older than me I was just young and naive; I'm just a pa**ive emcee Who was happy to be in a crew, who could see some potential in me And eventually we disagree on the beats, and the raps, and the lives that we lead But in between we live out our dream until the third scene When they steal our hope, our record deal, and our self esteem Two years of my life I'm depressed and mean Not only pray about this mess, I obsess and feen And start questioning Why I can't get no green? Why'd Jay want to leave the team? Why don't they put out the record and just give us free? Why we got to start all over til we're minus three? I guess we now know how a joke felt With the whole load of the world on his shoulders and no help Trying to make a comeback when life is below belt Low blows or no belt the playa with no help Never would've dreamed that the t's minus one While my man's in the bed thinking now his time's done Now it's time to run have my daddy [?] now falls But I still get the call and my ear never stall And I can't stop, won't stop, the blood sweat and teardrops Rise to the top of the heap got a clear shot And Imma take it make it big in spite all the negatives Since I'm of the greatest kids and now I've worn the latest kicks Fitting in [?] We would blow up the scene wearing tshirts and jeans And we'll finally have green with the joy in our hearts Cause the adverse effects only advance the dream [Pre-Chorus] Who would've known that the five alone Could've toured and survived after five alone In survival mode it kept holding on And now it's Babylon and kept growing strong And now they [Chorus] Burns up you can believe we do What we gotta do to move up From the head of the cla**, to the top of the game Til we burn and fade we burn [Verse 2: Flynn and Sareem Poems] It's like blast off and off in space we go And where this space ship stops only God seems to know Hey yo I do this for my people, my sisters, my bros My future, my now, my memories that flow It's like a fountain on a mountain, majestic and fresh Spilling and filling, abundant in depth It's so glorious, magnificent, triumphant, and blessed See we five rise to comprise life of LAS, yes All by myself trying to find myself I was all alone, couldn't find no help Didn't want to feel the pain that I felt Didn't want to hold, because I'd been dealt Thank God for my help, family and friends These are the people that are there in the end There's been a change but then I'm smiling again Can't hold a grudge, got to go make amends Giving in to my anger can't be good Far from a thug, I was born in the hood Daddy could but he didn't try to pick me up Mommy got hooked on crack and we split up, time will tell Family love smothered things Grandma's faith, overshadowed all my doubt The [?] of madness saying "Young thing, life past 18 is only just a dream" [Pre-Chorus] Who would've known that the five alone Could've toured and survived after five alone In survival mode it kept holding on And now it's Babylon and kept growing strong And now they [Chorus] Burns up you can believe we do What we gotta do to move up From the head of the cla**, to the top of the game Til we burn and fade we burn [Verse 3: UNO Mas] It was August 31st when I started feeling ill Couldn't stand, couldn't walk as I felt the cold chill down my spine As the needle broke skin and went in Thought this was a battle that I wasn't going to win Two months of my life changed everything I knew Stared d**h in the face and got love from my crew As I lay all alone in a room feeling cold Got scars on my arms, getting fed through a tube And I knew what to do, had to keep hope alive In the midst of it all, yeah I know I would survive Even when they put me out and took out the pain Said they was a slight chance I might not remain But I wasn't hearing that, put my life in God's hands Just a test to my faith cause I know He has plans And I gotta understand what's the reason for those days A new sense of purpose and a chance to give praise [Outro] Who would've known that the five alone Could've toured and survived after five alone In survival mode it kept holding on It's Babylon and kept growing strong And now it burns
