(And to the brink, I will rise)

(And to the brink, I will rise)

RISE, RISE, RISE, RISE

You wanna be on top, you'd better stay on top

Fight the wake, keep your distance

Loss of everything, I'll beat your face in

Nine to five, keep your distance

You, you keep away from me

You keep away from their ingenuity!

Never gonna get what you want

Unless you stay dedicated

You ain't never gonna be the gleam

That keeps us all together

Strength from within

Strength from within

Regulate and isolate

Break yourself, make mistakes

Rearrange and learn from what you've done

Reinstate, copulate, loss of fate, be yourself

To you want, tell yourself, you'll be what you want to be

Sometimes the violence gets to me

Makes me so sick, I can't even see

(I will prevail)

Good times followed by the hard times

And the good shall return

(And this I do swear)

Through my eyes, I have seen you okay

Through suffocation, dedication, I will rise

Through the heartbreak, through the sorrow

Let it pass by till tomorrow

Yes, the city breathes, still you run

Harm yourself from yourself

Still, we crawl on this wall

Faces pale, afraid to fall

As we plummet, as we plunder

We learn a lesson that lasts forever

No more compromise

No more compromise

No more compromise

No more compromise!

Yeah!
