Rise Up
Vexis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I do what I do
You playin to lose
I pick and I choose
Tow hitch for a noose
Riding round town in a hearse full of fools
Get in my zone
Now i'm in my groove
You better move
Don't care about you
I got nothin to prove
Only compete with myself
I make my own rules
Make a masterpiece
Straight catastrophe
Get it on my own
Just watch me proceed
Laid up in the trees
Where I sit
And just take in the breeze
Feelin at peace
Isolation in serenity
Had to hit snooze
Wakin up way past noon
Was up all night recording in the booth
Take my breathe of fresh air
Then it's back into the
stu-
dio
What would would you know?
Bass hittin so hard
Go straight to your dome
Just finished a chapter
Watch it all unfold
Feel like a ghost in these streets that I roam
You wouldn't get it
You can't stand the cold
Feel it in my soul
Being around y'all just makes me feel old
Switch up my flow
I been focused
Goin for it
My only motive
To create somethin
Just so I can hold it
Never foldin
Rise up
And watch the rest start flowin
Drive my cars like they were stolen
Dead lookin poet
Own it
Chose it
Trying my best to make sure I don't blow it
Live my life like its a Shounen
You rock
I'm rollin
Come correct
Or be like the ones I've frozen
Behind the scenes
I'm the one who controllin
Comin at me bitch boy
You better duck down
Not hard to see through a crowd and find a clown
Take you to a place where there ain't no sound
No light
No dark
No sky
No ground
Blank canvas where you'll have to find yourself
In the land of the underground
Unheard misfit with a crown
If it wasn't then, it's now
Time ain't getting any longer, so go and
In "Rise Up," Vexis shows a feeling of detachment from the world around him that is reflected in his lyrics. He is impressed by the way his creativity provides him with a sense of isolation and peace, and he describes how he creates a masterpiece out of his pain and struggle. In his world, competition isn't against others, but against himself. He feels acutely aware of his own growth and the work he's creating, even as others may not see or understand it.
Vexis's description of himself is often conflicted. He refers to himself as a "dead looking poet," but he owns it, stating that he's chosen his path and will continue. Despite his detachment, he is proud of his work and what he's accomplished so far. He describes himself as rising up and not folding, unsure if he will ever blow it, but continuing to go for it. The chorus suggests an urgent need to seize the day and make the most of one's time on Earth.
This song is both melancholy and uplifting, with its passionate lyrics and Vexis's emotive vocals. It speaks to the despair and hope that run through the human experience, and the sense that life is both fleeting and endless, impossible yet possible all at once.

Isolation in serenity
I find solace in being alone

What would would you know?
You don't understand
Bass hittin so hard
The music is powerful
Go straight to your dome
It gets to your head
Just finished a chapter
I completed a task
Watch it all unfold
I'm excited to see the results
Feel like a ghost in these streets that I roam
I feel like an outsider
You wouldn't get it
You don't understand
You can't stand the cold
You can't handle tough situations
Feel it in my soul
I'm passionate about this
Being around y'all just makes me feel old
Your energy doesn't match mine
Switch up my flow
I'm changing my style
I been focused
I've been working hard
Goin for it
I'm taking a risk
My only motive

I want to make something meaningful
Just so I can hold it
I want to cherish my creation
Never foldin
I'm not giving up
Rise up
I'm motivated to succeed
And watch the rest start flowin
My success will inspire others
Drive my cars like they were stolen
I'm living life to the fullest
Dead lookin poet
I may seem serious, but I'm creative
Own it
I'm confident in myself
Chose it
I made my own path
Trying my best to make sure I don't blow it
I'm working hard to avoid failure
Live my life like its a Shounen
I embrace the spirit of adventure
You rock
You're great
I'm rollin
I'm doing my thing
Come correct
Be prepared
Or be like the ones I've frozen
Don't underestimate me
Behind the scenes
I'm in control
I'm the one who controllin
I know what I'm doing
Comin at me bitch boy
Don't mess with me
You better duck down
You better hide
Not hard to see through a crowd and find a clown
It's easy to spot people who don't belong
Take you to a place where there ain't no sound
I can show you a peaceful place
No light
It's dark
No dark
It's bright
No sky
There's no sky above us
No ground
There's no solid foundation
Blank canvas where you'll have to find yourself
You have to discover who you really are
In the land of the underground
In this hidden place
Unheard misfit with a crown
I may be overlooked, but I'm still powerful
If it wasn't then, it's now
My time is now
Time ain't getting any longer, so go and get it done
Don't waste time, take action now
