mistake of color - rise lyrics

[verse 1]
uh, yeah
so many opportunities in life, i feel i’m always misdirected
the cue to take the storm is formed, but i find it deceptive
battle tested, life is a highway, but peep the message
we all just on this interstate, but takin’ different exits

i found my callin’ through problem solvin’ life’s greatest questions
the mysteries of evil, i listen to her confessions
immortalize the dialogue through borderline anomalies
the synchronicities align within recording sessions

my pen is (penance) lessened (lesson), find the beauty in every sentence
though ink is fadin’, i’m ill+stratin’ we’re often fenced in
boxes where the only option left is to conform
i need more within my life, i’m searchin’ deep within my core

but it’s hard to find the light when negativity is poured
through society, of course, governments who only store
all the wealth within the top, the final pill? you’re on your own
all they wantin’ is control, they tryna keep your credit low

they never liftin’ up your soul, they wanna see you poor
the life of every artist is frustratin’, ‘n it’s cold
i’m always told the game is never handed out, it’s sold
i’ll find it out myself alone then, just on my phone
uploadin’ my life through tiktok, reels, shorts, annoyin’
but really, it’s important, the gas, i’m always floorin’
could never sink or drown, when rainy days turn life to oceans
like georgie said, “we gotta keep on floatin’”, so float, n+gga

[chorus ]
i know it’s hard to find love, sometimes, uh
i know you’re waitin’ for your sunshine, uh
i know you feel that you’re left behind, uh
but it don’t matter, yo’ time gon’ shine, uh

if every mornin’ you wake, you grind, uh
‘n try hard, but fall at night, uh
you’ll realize it’ll all be fine, huh
what falls down one day must rise

[verse 2]
it’s always life that i can never comprehend ..
a shadow of the figure that i was, i now depend
on validation from strangers who view me as they friend
a battle for my sanity, since i never fit in

i went to schools where there demeanor was the whitest skin
and slurs were thrown around wit’ no regard for what they meant
and i would laugh along, but i was young, in my defense
i was taught to never speak, ‘cause it’s easier to pretend
that it doesn’t bother you, so negativity would blend
to the state i had as an adolescent who couldn’t spend
his time with other kids who looked like him, who were akin
to culture where the kin are taught to rise ‘n not descend

and teachers share your skin tone, ‘n wanna see you win
so i gotta be the man i wish i had when i was ten
i gotta be authentic, every moment that i spend
scribblin’ words, these thoughts i observe, through written pen

every choice i can commence
new realities where cents
turn to dollars on command, just gotta focus, gotta sense it
we transcendin’ dimensions, a thanks? ain’t gotta mention
i do this for my people, leadin’ wit’ the best intentions

[chorus]
i know it’s hard to find love, sometimes, uh
i know you’re waitin’ for your sunshine, uh
i know you feel that you’re left behind, uh
but it don’t matter, yo’ time gon’ shine, uh

if every mornin’ you wake, you grind, uh
‘n try hard, but fall at night, uh
you’ll realize it’ll all be fine, huh
what falls down one day must rise
[outro]
scarred, i know your scarred
you’ve come so far
from broken shards

of glass that broke
and pierced your heart
you’ve come so far
don’t forget who you are

i know it’s hard to find love, sometimes, uh
i know you’re waitin’ for your sunshine, uh
i know you feel that you’re left behind, uh
but it don’t matter, yo’ time gon’ shine, uh

if every mornin’ you wake, you grind, uh
‘n try hard, but fall at night, uh
you’ll realize it’ll all be fine, huh
what falls down one day must rise
