Rise Above
J. Cole | MonsterMixtapes.net Lyrics


The other night I tried to say that I love you
The other night you tried to say that we were through
If you could make up your mind
If I could have my own mind
My pain would turn to rapture
My heart would beat much faster

The other night I tried to write and play this song
The other night you tried to fight and slay this song
If you could do the humming
If I could do the strumming
Our song would have a tune
It'd rise above the moon

Around these parts all the talk would be of you and I
On the charts our song would have a tune that'd rise so high
If you could do the humming
(If you could do)
If I could do the strumming
Our song would have a tune
(If I could do)
It'd rise above the moon

Now today I try to break through that wall
Now today you say that you will never fall
If you could learn to give love
If I could only live love
We could sail today
Drift your fears away

From the shores of the past our ship would sail to sea
Coming back full of love just for you and me

If you could do the humming
(If you could give)
If I could do the strumming
Our song would have a tune
(If I could live)
It'd rise above the moon

If you could do the humming
(Humming)
If I could do the strumming
(Strumming)
Our song would have a tune
(Humming)
It'd rise above the moon
(Strumming)
(It's rise above the moon)

If you could do the humming
(If you could do the humming)
If I could do the strumming
(If I could do the strumming)
Our song would have a tune
(Our song would have a tune)
It'd rise above the moon
(It'd rise above the moon)

@ashtonmoore6942

So true. No young black kids hate anyone to look up to beside rappers and athletes and the odds of them making it to the NBA, NFL, MLB, or being a successful rapper are slim to none
