The Rising

i've come accustomed to droppin crazy gems
raw **** like a 80s flick
everything i "spit out" is currency, like a ATM
what does it take to win? enough mental strength to take the equator and make it bend
splashing ink on scrolls with ancient pens
like abandoned infants on the step you gotta take this in
ima beast they tried to cage me in
my lady was scared to see me step in the ring, like adrien
the metals sharp, and the blade is thin
ready to swordfight wit any mortal man
talkin outta spite its off wit ya head
never seen again, either that or walkin dead
lifes a book from donald goines high grade like the honor roll
grimey like behind the stove
money in a brown bag then i gotta go
adios, let grazzhoppa catch a body tho
follow me to another state of mind
rise and shine
been in the works for a long time
to uplift the mind God
follow me to another state of mind
rise and shine
been in the works for a long time
to uplift the mind God
(that bbm shit)
find me a hundred racks schemin
brown hunnids from the duffle bag dinners
big racks when its summer tax season
ima be the one last breathin, they shot up my show, i show no love for that reason my dude
im a northside vet
done overcame the courtside stress
go to cali, let the porsche fly west
celebrate when hard times won
cop a boat in miami, like carmines son
so many hopeless, out here its less hope
noly fear i got, is dying dead broke
shorty tend to make it on the cigarette boat
roll the cigarallo
and break ya ass off with the deathstroke
i was killin shit in O-11
if the moneys so evil somebody show the reverend
break it down into coded lessons
see the highways to hell or the road to heaven
oh lord
follow me to another state of mind
rise and shine
been in the works for a long time
to uplift the mind God
follow me to another state of mind
rise and shine
been in the works for a long time
to uplift the mind God
for the rebels
lettin off the let at all the enemies and false preaching devils
no love for authority on all levels
had no pops, before my pockets be popped, i'll push and pedal
you won't, but i would, like gepetto
coming live from the ghetto
wit long nosed metal
leave all problems settled
i bet you couldn't walk in my nikes
amongst you frauds, i wouldn't talk at all, unless we properly discussin price
i cut and slice
the work, and then i put it on the scale to weigh
bag it up, and serve it to the public, thats the proper way
on the **** they slob
screamin let me ride like dr.dre
fasho i beat the pu$$y up, like i did 5 locked away
*****z think the shit they drop is a ****, and its not the case
FIRE, is how you describe the shit that i jot on a page
never blinded by the light, was lost in a maze
till i found my way, now we gucci, we still makin pay
follow me to another state of mind
rise and shine
been in the works for a long time
to uplift the mind God
follow me to another state of mind
rise and shine
been in the works for a long time
to uplift the mind God
