[Verse 1]
Mick bring hits, man, this the outcomes
Ain't no miss, no fear to outrun
Ain't got time to be preened or outdone
Got no cards, bitch, deal without some
And I got a new mask to hide behind
I don't know my strength gotta ride the line
I'mma take it to task, yeah, I'll be fine
Yeah, I'll be fine

[Chorus]
Gotta rise up above all the static
Oh, you give what you get, what you pay for
Life doesn't have to be tragic
Live your life like they're screaming for encores
Gotta rise up above all the static
Oh, you give what you get, what you pay for
Life doesn't have to be tragic
Live your life like they're screaming for encores

[Verse 2]
Tear it on up and go back to basics, if you lack elation for the average day
If I got half the faith of those who ask for saving, then I can't go down, bitch, rack your brain
I gotta back my town, bitch, stack the paper, yeah, I get knocked down, feel half the pain
And I can hold my ground, bitch, not today and I got no more doubt left on the brain
I can't hold it back
Got a lot I gotta do and you knowing that
But I know I gotta move there, no going back
And you know a boy be knowing how to throw it back
We ain't going back to back, we no meek
Why you gon attack the pack, there no beef
I ain't give no slack to opps, so don't sleep
I ain't gon retract the pact, I don't leave, yeah
[Chorus]
Rise up above all the static
Oh, you give what you get, what you pay for
Life doesn't have to be tragic
Live your life like they're screaming for encores
Gotta rise up above all the static
Oh, you give what you get, what you pay for
Life doesn't have to be tragic
Live your life like they're screaming for encores

[Bridge]
Maybe I'm taking my friends for granted
And maybe I'm taking my life for granted
But my feet are planted and my future demanded
I'mma do what I do best
I'mma do what I do best
I'mma do what I do best
With my feet planted and my future demanded
I'mma do what I do best and that's

[Chorus]
Rise up above all the static
Oh, you give what you get, what you pay for
Life doesn't have to be tragic
Live your life like they're screaming for encores
Gotta rise up above all the static
Oh, you give what you get, what you pay for
Life doesn't have to be tragic
Live your life like they're screaming for encores
Gotta rise up above all the static
Oh, you give what you get, what you pay for
Life doesn't have to be tragic
Live your life like they're screaming for encores
