RISE
Liz Suwandi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The ones who haven't seen a break in a while
The people bout to lose they mom or their dad
In a world that's always got us in denial
You ain't gotta take it all, you know
We too have seen the balance of the positive and negative
And I've wanted so bad to get even for no reason
When it's just that easy now to wanna let 'em live
His kids are still at home and trying to trace back
That daddy's never coming and it's time to face facts
That we can be his breathing keep his energy in each
And every season speak what he believed in, breed this heavenly kin
And keep his music banging on the speakers all weekend
I Know what the fuck is going on
I see what the news is making you believe
They got us wanting now to follow them and all
Even when it end up forcing us to bleed
This is the way that we say we will not sit here while they bury us and leave
They program us to hate up on each other
But it's easy to discover that is only they disease
[Chorus]
Well Heaven knows
That sometimes it's just hard for us to smile
So come with me, cause you and I
We will walk this road awhile
I've seen the lost without a cause
Redefine against the odds
Hold your head up and be strong
'Cause we will rise in spite of all
I know some people that are stuck inside they own mind
And they won't try peace unless they find somebody on time
Or even hear another voice up on the phone line
You ain't alone, you know
We too feel the balance of the positive and negative
I been wanting just to talk with your offer
The prosperous but you acting like your own nemesis
I know that troubles around and it gets tough
To really know if motherfuckers are down
I better be getting on now this is rugged and I'll
Need a second just to set the record up on a cloud lifeless
Looking up to Leanne's likeness
I see my mom's mom looking down on us like this
And wonder if my own godless beliefs
Are somehow damaging the ones close to my license
Might get sticky but the facts remain
We gotta stay and keep it moving or collapse in pain
I'mma craft the game back up relax and claim
The new day for the people who can actually say
[Chorus]
