Rise Up
J.Cee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Automatic with the transition
You put my mind into cognition
I wanna see you in the daytime
Nightime girl you looking summer fine
Your body like a paradigm
I'm fascinated with your mind
Turn the lights down low when it's showtime
Good dude I ain't gotta make crime
But don't try me cause I always defend mine
We're living for now
I ain't going down
I'm wearing my crown
If one gonna rise up
Then we all gotta rise up
Good women hard to find
It's a lot of thots all over my timeline
What a shame what a shame
Niggas only say they're trying to get some good brain
They lack knowledge
And I see that it's plain
Playing victim while they're pouring champagne
Can't afford the lifestyle so they end up vain
Asking for a handout cause they wasn't saving for the rain
I ain't no saint but I'm trying to get my life right avoid constraints
Yeah I had to cut some friends off they just too daint
All up in their feelings they ain't even pave my way
I remain self-made
Everyone around me knows they're getting paid
I'm not even the type to be throwing shade
I just took a note straight from out their page
Now y'all mad I'm on a whole new wave
We're living for now
I ain't going down
I'm wearing my crown
If one gonna rise up
Then we all gotta rise up
Yeah when you needed me
I was right there for you
But when I needed you
Where was you at Huh (Huh)
Now we top star balling
I got a new new lifestyle calling
Cut the dead weight got tired of stalling
On a new wave
Ice on my neck so I call it snowballing
We're living for now
I ain't going down
I'm wearing my crown




If one gonna rise up
Then we all gotta rise up
