[Intro]
Uh, it's my time to rise
[Verse 1]
Open the doors up y'all, I know black is incoming
Ever since I caught the ball I been running
Somehow the clouds spread and the Gods summon [?]
With a scroll full of codes to live by
I could live in a bowl full of [?] to give my
People to feed 'em, just follow my lead and everything gon' be alright
Don't be scared of the night
I'll be the sun to shed the knowledge and light
[Turntablism: DJ Rhettmatic]
[Verse 2]
My rise is all mine, I climbed and defeated
The conquest when at best the rest of y'all cheated
I brang it to the table then the [?] will just eat it
On some realness, I ain't even being conceded
Out the game me and Ex made history, read about it
We had dreams, you got goals then homie be up out it
Let a braud feel respected and such
I'm in the streets with the people, I ain't out of your touch
I'm in the same spot you be at, giving you [?]
Feel good to know your old hood still got ya back
When you out doing shows all across the map
You got a place to call home where you could rest your hat
And [?] so let the greenery stack
And it ain't all about the cake, but I ain't hatin' on that
Matter-of-fact when it get good enough for me to retire
I'mma fatten up the pockets of the people who's tired
Of the day-to-day hustle and grind that transpire
Ultimately it's the strength of they mind that I admire
And [?] gritting they teeth and the sweat on they brow
And through it all they find a reason to smile, they still breathin' somehow
So I believe in the child that got his own way of doin'
When preparation meet opportunity he'd be a shoe in
Like yours truely, ayo [?] black
Whisper to a brother, give me some feedback
Tell me what you wanna hear about and what you don't like
But nope, you cannot use mine so get your own mic
Let's have a healthy dialogue, discuss it a bit
[?] be a lot of fast talkers man, hustlin' shit
Whatever, I can't concern myself too much with others
They worth less, I'm a no stress type of brother
No, guess [?] to describe the vibe
I present, I'm the noteworthy current event
Keep you spending dough like a Las Vegas vent
Pumping out double-oxygen, where you at my friend?
It's my time to rise
[Turntablism: DJ Rhettmatic]
[Verse 3]
Man I ain't going nowhere, I'll be here till the sun don't shine
Then I'mma be the sunshine, you're trying to cover up mine
But I'm way too bright, might make y'all blind
Time's up for ya son, can't press rewind
You don't impress me, I'm the best ticket in the city
Only a few chosen dudes I know could run with me
[?] studio tactics, the staged theatrics
The literary skills got 'em doing the backflips
I ain't naming no names to protect the innocent
The guility can suck these nuts like a dinner mint
But you know who you is if I'm talking about you
One love, I can't take over the world without 'cha
Stay close, we gonna make 'em read us some books
And have future poetry classes reciting our hooks
Like do you know, [?] next to [?]
Is [?] black, I'm the next to know
So bring it on if you bringing it
But recognise it's not wise because the fat lady gon' be singing it
