RISE
Wrekonize Lyrics

This is for the ones that got it real bad
This song is dedicated to those who are going through tough times

The ones who haven't seen a break in a while
People who have been struggling for some time now

The people bout to lose they mom or their dad
Those who are about to lose a parent

In a world that's always got us in denial
In a world that constantly tries to make us ignore the truth

You ain't gotta take it all, you know
You don't have to bear all the pain and suffering

We too have seen the balance of the positive and negative
We have also experienced the good and the bad in life

And I've wanted so bad to get even for no reason
I have felt the urge to seek revenge without any justification

When it's just that easy now to wanna let 'em live
It's now easier to forgive and let go

Shit I'd bring EMJ back lost 'em on the road and I still hate that
I wish I could bring EMJ (someone who passed away) back to life

His kids are still at home and trying to trace back
His children are still grieving and missing their father

That daddy's never coming and it's time to face facts
They have to accept the reality that their father will never return

That we can be his breathing keep his energy in each
We can keep his memory alive by embodying his beliefs

And every season speak what he believed in, breed this heavenly kin
We can spread his message and inspire others to do good

And keep his music banging on the speakers all weekend
We can listen to his music and celebrate his legacy

I Know what the fuck is going on
I see what's happening in the world

I see what the news is making you believe
I see how the media tries to influence people's beliefs

They got us wanting now to follow them and all
They try to control us and make us conform

Even when it end up forcing us to bleed
Even if it causes harm and pain to us

This is the way that we say we will not sit here while they bury us and leave
We refuse to let them oppress us and bring us down

They program us to hate up on each other
They teach us to hate and fight against one another

But it's easy to discover that is only they disease
It's easy to realize that this is not what we truly want or need

Well Heaven knows
God knows

That sometimes it's just hard for us to smile
Sometimes it's difficult for us to be happy

So come with me, cause you and I
Let's come together

We will walk this road awhile
Let's support each other and overcome these difficult times

I've seen the lost without a cause
I have seen people who are lost and directionless

Redefine against the odds
Let's redefine our situation and overcome the challenges

Hold your head up and be strong
Stay resilient and keep fighting

'Cause we will rise in spite of all
We will succeed despite all the obstacles

I know some people that are stuck inside they own mind
I know some people who are trapped in their own thoughts

And they won't try peace unless they find somebody on time
They won't seek peace until they find someone else to join them

Or even hear another voice up on the phone line
They won't even listen to someone talking on the phone

We too feel the balance of the positive and negative
We also experience both the good and the bad

I been wanting just to talk with your offer
I have been wanting to have a conversation with you and share my ideas

The prosperous but you acting like your own nemesis
Despite being successful, you act as if you are your own worst enemy

I know that troubles around and it gets tough
I know that there are difficulties and it can be overwhelming

To really know if motherfuckers are down
To truly know if people are there for you

I better be getting on now this is rugged and I'll
I need to move forward despite the challenges

Need a second just to set the record up on a cloud lifeless
I need a moment to reflect and remember those who have passed away

Looking up to Leanne's likeness
Remembering someone named Leanne and being inspired by their example

I see my mom's mom looking down on us like this
I imagine my grandmother watching over us from heaven

And wonder if my own godless beliefs
I question my own lack of religious beliefs

Are somehow damaging the ones close to my license
I wonder if my beliefs are negatively impacting those close to me

Might get sticky but the facts remain
Things might get difficult but the truth is still true

We gotta stay and keep it moving or collapse in pain
We have to keep going or we risk succumbing to our suffering

I'mma craft the game back up relax and claim
I'm going to work hard and take control

The new day for the people who can actually say
A new day where people can speak up and be heard
