Still You Gotta Rise

You know the only person you really need in this world is yourself, man
If that’s all you got, that’s all you need
Still nobody’s there to stand by your side
Never won awards and never got no prize
If all they see is pain when they look into your eyes
Still you gotta rise, still you gotta rise
Still nobody’s there to stand by your side
Never won awards and never got no prize
If all they see is pain when they look into your eyes
Still you gotta rise, still you gotta rise
Still you gotta go and get it
Them others you can forget em
They don’t wanna see your dreams come true so don’t let em
Get inside your mind and change up how you thinking
How you living, ain’t no need to reply, just start winning
Every game, show em that’s the reason you came
And if you ever fall short you got yourself to blame
See the weak always fail but the strong don’t stop
You control your own destiny believe it or not
And it ain’t written in the stars or the lines of your palms
It ain’t even in this song, it’s been with you all along
You just gotta let it shine, give it space, give it time
If you really want it bad give it everything you have
Like there’s nothing more important, don’t get it distorted
Build yourself up, don’t let them others destroy you
I been there, know how that feel
Thought I had it figured out to realise that
Still nobody’s there to stand by your side
Never won awards and never got no prize
If all they see is pain when they look into your eyes
Still you gotta rise, still you gotta rise
Still nobody’s there to stand by your side
Never won awards and never got no prize
If all they see is pain when they look into your eyes
Still you gotta rise, still you gotta rise
Still you gotta stop the bleeding, no reason to be defeated
You know what you can be capable of if you believe it
They try to keep you secret telling you lies
Like you ain’t never gonna make it when you’re trying to rise
You gotta stand up, lift your head and put your hands up
Take off them chains and the handcuffs
Cause you are far better than anybody has ever given credit to you for
Even better than before
You are now tuned in listening to the sounds
Of the music that you’re made of, time to step your game up
Time to get on stage and throw it down
Knowing what you do with this moment can move the whole crowd
Like you moving a mountain, truth can be found in
The youth of my fountain pen, it’s astounding
Before they only doubted my heart and skill
Thought I had it all changed to realise that
Still nobody’s there to stand by your side
Never won awards and never got no prize
If all they see is pain when they look into your eyes
Still you gotta rise, still you gotta rise
Still nobody’s there to stand by your side
Never won awards and never got no prize
If all they see is pain when they look into your eyes
Still you gotta rise, still you gotta rise
Still you gotta
Still keep the strongest of wills
Other folks in your position might be swallowing pills
And they be looking to drink
To think the moment they no longer stay afloat they gonna drown and then sink
And then go out the easy way
No doubt believing they got no other direction to go
Start feeling that there’s not even an ounce of hope in their life left
To all those people here’s a life vest
Cause you can do whatever if you just see to it
That your mind stays focused and your heart beats to it
If your feet keep moving and your fists keep swinging
Never let the music stop and keep singing
You’ll see that you’re heavenly, don’t doubt the melody
There’s nothing that be harming me, no pain, no poverty
Them words won’t bother me at least until
I take a look around and realise that
Still nobody’s there to stand by your side
Never won awards and never got no prize
If all they see is pain when they look into your eyes
Still you gotta rise, still you gotta rise
Still nobody’s there to stand by your side
Never won awards and never got no prize
If all they see is pain when they look into your eyes
Still you gotta rise, still you gotta rise
Still you gotta
