9th Wonder
Rise
[Chorus]
I might fall on my back but I'm still gon' rise
I got my faith in my god I'm gonna be all right
What else can I say I be repping the bay
But somehow the truth always winds up missing
Cuz everybody talks but nobody listens

[Verse 1]
First and foremost let me define my name
K to the E the undeniable saint
And just like those before me man I have a real story to tell
Or just share as I prevail
I never really had it all but I still stood tall and I still do it all
Cuz impossible is nothing just do it like it's nothing
Especially for those who be rocking adidas clothes with fresh air max on
See I never follow trends cuz you know life goes on
So look at me I keep telling them look at me
See this man I came to be through this life of misery
Then I look up in the mirror man I saw but didn't see
That this would be my remedy music to the death of me
I'll never change the fact that it ain't nobody stopping me
I got nightmares that be haunting me of what's gon' be left of me

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
So what's the message?
With all these flaws that I'm mentioning
I just wanna go live it the come back for the minute
But I'll be gone in a second just to live and making records
To the people that be checking for my city I rep it
During them cold time man they'll never catch me slippin'
While they're busy tryna sleep man I'm busy in my dreams
Saying life ain't cheap Gordon Gekko lifestyle
That's the man I wanna be
Say my shit be so timeless like these rhymes that I'm rhyming
Nobody worth my time and nobody do my grind
And I do it all the time make 'em wonder where I'm at
But still be thinking 'bout the past man we ain't got time for that
Let my man Newton do the math
Then you sure will understand ain't nothing worth a damn
And they might never wanna hear this
'Cuz at the end of the day it's something they gotta deal with
[Chorus]
