Rise (feat. Little Brother)

Represent the next movement, they got the revolution televised

All my people rise and recognize, we come from divine

With three eyes that beam sharp like lasers

We be the Genesis like Sega, supreme in the face of you haters

Take over this industry, spread love instead of trying to be the enemy

Y'all quick to kill but slow to build, can a brother live?

That's why we follow slime, travel through hollow minds

Penetrate the soul with a rhyme, things gotta change

But y'all ain't listening, the soul been

Travelling, y'all keep missing the train

The brain unraveling, stabbing you with a lyrical javelin

I ain't having it, understand my peoples ain't savages

It goes one for the money and two for the show

Three we 'bout to bring it in, four to let you know

(Rise) 'Cause we up here, you need to look up

L.B. and S.F.P., the world shook up

(Just rise) To the top, 'cause I can't wait

I can't wait, no I can't wait

(Just rise) To the top, 'cause no I can't wait

I won't fake it, I can't wait

Rise like the pot bubbling, rumbling through the state of N.C

Begging these wannabe rappers not to test me

A bunch of fancy wordplay don't impress me

I got a couple metaphors and some similes

I'm like the countdown to New Year's Eve

Most anticipated, **** wouldn't believe

That Poobie would take trips over the seas

Or I make one album, I'm working on three

Got the Strange Fruit project here working with me

Doing the Texas Two-Step, drinking a la Iced Teas

No ice in it please, them the right degrees

I'm the coolest motherfucker on the M-I-C

And when you invite me, no telling what it might be

'Cause when I rhyme I devour that shit, **** wanna rush me

And cats get touchy 'cause they know Tay mean every vowel of that shit

The A's and E's and I's, don't be surprised

If I owe you an apology after I said it

Rough with the lyrics but so gentile

With the flow most mics think I'm anti-Semitic

Y'all **** need to dead it, it's on, man crazy

If you think that next to us you will ever get shine

On BET, Uncut, or Total Request Live

I ain't gotta like yours, but you gon' respect mine

It goes one for the money and two for the show

Three we 'bout to bring it in, four to let you know

(Rise) 'Cause we up here, you need to look up

L.B. and S.F.P., the world shook up

(Just rise) To the top, 'cause I can't wait

I can't wait, no I can't wait

(Just rise) To the top, 'cause no I can't wait

I won't fake it, I can't wait

Ayo, look at what y'all made us do

Running away with it like 18-wheelers downhill without no brake shoes

You got a problem? I got one you can't equate to

L.B. plus S.F.P. on you on a tape, dude

Like it was evidence of statutory rape

There's no escape from the rise of the tide changing the landscape

The flame of man never burned brighter

Rise like the spirits of the deceased

I'm something like a ghostwriter

Stay on the rise like transitioning from sober to high

My worst flow's no colder than fire

These quotes float, overdose in my mind

And so I'm loaded in times when it is needed

Like water when you weeded

Or a little bit of space when your demeanor gets heated

Raise my head to the sky hoping my evils get defeated

From N.C. to the D and all points in between it

It's all on you to rise if we fall, get repeated

It goes one for the money and two for the show

Three we 'bout to bring it in, four to let you know

(Rise) 'Cause we up here, you need to look up

L.B. and S.F.P., the world shook up

(Just rise) To the top, 'cause I can't wait

I can't wait, no I can't wait

(Just rise) To the top, 'cause no I can't wait

I won't fake it, I can't wait

Ooh yes, hey sister, ayy sister

How you doing? Ooh, how you doing over there? Yes

Yes baby, Cali Kyle is here

The California welcoming committee, girls

I see all y'all looking lovely, come step to the back of the pad

Ooh, I know you see the view

Don't you love it?

You see the mountains over, look, look, look, no look deep

See the mountains over there, girl?

Okay, now look down to your left

No, your other left

Okay, okay, that's the ocean

Side by side, baby

That's how we do it in Cali

Toast it up
