Rise Up

Chorus

Rise up from the pain, got dreams on my mind

We ain't going back, we leaving it behind

Step into the light, we moving with the pride

Hearts heavy but strong, together we gon' ride

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

We gon' ride

Oh oh oh

Side by side

Verse 2

City blocks raised me, concrete made me

Struggles in my pocket, hope never faded

Running with ambition, not just for survival

Every single loss taught lessons that revival

Wake up and chase it, nothing given easy

Pressure made diamonds, hunger just increased me

Voices in my head said you gotta keep rapping

Making momma smile, now she see what happened

Pre-Chorus

Every door that's closed, we open another

Turning pain into gold, looking out for each other

No matter the scars, we shine in our lane

Keep rising, keep fighting through all the rain

Chorus

Rise up from the pain, got dreams on my mind

We ain't going back, we leaving it behind

Step into the light, we moving with the pride

Hearts heavy but strong, together we gon' ride

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

We gon' ride

Oh oh oh

Side by side

Bridge

Raised fists in the alley, hearts on the wire

Struggle in the past, turning pain into fire

Voices get loud when they said we won't last

Now we breaking through walls, running far from the past

Verse 3

From Long Beach to Brooklyn, scars on our names

Shouting out the truth, never playing their games

Graveled on the pavement, knuckles and dreams

Punk in our souls, ripping open the seams

We built from the broken, stronger than before

Marching through the struggle, hungry for more

Chorus

Rise up from the pain, got dreams on my mind

We ain't going back, we leaving it behind

Step into the light, we moving with the pride

Hearts heavy but strong, together we gon' ride

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

We gon' ride

Oh oh oh

Side by side

Outro

The story is about to unfold, pen in my hand

No script for tomorrow, we write on demand

Truth in our veins, can’t fake what we hold

We rolling together, unstoppable, bold

Wounds in the mirror, future in our face

Breaking down barriers, taking our place

Word after word, the struggle gets told

The fight never over, legends born from the cold

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

We gon' ride

Oh oh oh

Side by

Coda

Breath on the glass, writing what’s real

Tales from the pain, but we made the deal

Scars on these knuckles, strength in the scars

Look how we made it, we climbed from the dark

No one believed us, but look where we stand

Built every dream with the dirt on our hands

Shadows behind but the vision won’t die

Now we live louder, our heads to the sky

Final Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

We gon’ shine

Oh oh oh

In our time

Oh oh oh

We survived

Oh oh oh

Side by side
