phenom - the rise lyrics

chorus:

you can’t live if you’re scared of dying
you can’t win if you’re scared of trying
don’t fear the mouth of the lion
because we’re on the rise
we’re on the rise
we’re on the rise
we’re on the rise
we’re on the rise
we’re on the rise
we’re on the riiiiiiiiiiise
the rise (yeah)
the rise (yeah)
the rise (yeah)
the rise (yeah)
get up get up (this goes out to all my soldiers)

verse 1:

sometimes i sit and wonder what if einstein was a spittah/
what beats would he rock, ‘rhyme schemes would he deliver/
would he really go hard if he lived the life of a n#ggah/
in#stead of racing science he’ dodging a racist’s triggah/
in#stead of figuring theories the theory is getting figgas/
his stomach eatin’ his back, and his back is against the river/
every step that he takin’ them dogs is comin’ quicker/
escapin’ the hater’s fate is the only picture that’s clearer/
his babies is getting hungry, pregnant wife getting bigger/
mississippi is burnin’, open flames to liquor/
but he know’ he’ a g#nius, opportunity’s thicker/
thought he could get a job, forgot to look in the mirror/
wonder if he could see it, would he use his excuses/
would he let that fire burn down his creative juices/
would he hang his self for seeing his ancestors in nooses/
would he stand up to the lion and challenge all his abusers whut???/

chorus:
you can’t live if you’re scared of dying (turn me up!)
you can’t win if you’re scared of trying (turn me up!)
don’t fear the mouth of the lion (get up!)
because we’re on the rise (get up!)
we’re on the rise (get up!)
we’re on the rise (get up!)
we’re on the rise (get up!)
we’re on the rise (get uuuuuuuuuuup!)
we’re on the rise
we’re on the riiiiiiiiiiise
the rise (yeah) this is gtfu music
the rise (yeah) this is gtfu music
the rise (yeah) this is gtfu music
the rise (yeah) get upppppppppppp!

verse 2:

for generations we been generating lost boys/
giving us the blues brothers dan aykroyd
my common sense hit me like a fkin asteroid/
energy is neither lost nor is it destroyed/
so that means my ancestor’s spirits’ all up in the air/
and i can’t grab a hold of malcolm if i’m holding fear/
so i let this go and i let this blow these trumpets can you hear/
that it’s getting louder by the hour strappin’ up my gear/
and i need my brothers to get up and come and hold me down/
and i need our fathers to come bring they’ asses back around/
‘cause we going ape#sh#t in this matrix in this crazy town/
and curious george is getting’ lost within this circus wow/
and i got these buzzards and these jim crows they’ at my home/
but cha boy gon’ rock’em and that’s two birds with one stone/
wanna see my black men back making plans in they’ zone/
revolution won’t be televised but it’s still on, (get up!)/

chorus:

you can’t live if you’re scared of dying (get up!)
you can’t win if you’re scared of trying (turn me up!)
don’t fear the mouth of the lion (get up!)
because we’re on the rise (get up!)
we’re on the rise (get up!)
we’re on the rise (get up!)
we’re on the rise (get up!)
we’re on the rise (get uuuuuuuuuuup!)
we’re on the rise
we’re on the riiiiiiiiiiise
the rise (yeah) this is gtfu music
the rise (yeah) this is gtfu music
the rise (yeah) this is gtfu music
the rise (yeah) get upppppppppppp!

verse 3:

crucify us daily and bury us but we rising up/
we can’t stop at the top because the top it just ain’t high enough/
to h#ll with your feeling ‘cause your feelings it ain’t definin’ us/
you dummies know the sun is the only thing that’s out shining us/
treated us like animals but ya cages ain’t holding us/
you ain’t harming my army, your corney soldiers ain’t bold enough/
where you gonna be when yo’ chief is getting folded up/
prolly in your tee#pee, stuntin’ like you don’t notice us/
my team rollin up like we never knew what controlling was/
ass kicking like glass ceilings was never over us/
put us back on the map where the black on black love continue growin’ us/
feel the wrath of a mad man with a mad plan that’s makin’ doors open up/
it’s been a long time but i’m back and attackin’ the track with a rap that’ll smack like a mac wit a strap/
never lack and we’ bringin’ it back to the throne that we own and we gone where you at???/
