[Verse 1]
Welcome to the city of this masquerade
Where you can find the realist in this fake charade
You can see the sky scraped, flooded with codes
Making you reminisce from the life you chose
Ones and Os, Ones and Os
Stuck in a rut with no air to breathe
Ones and Os, Ones and Os
Dollar, dollar bills ruling everything around me

[Pre-Chorus]
How can we breathe in the city that never sleeps?
Have we become a victim of the obsolete?
How can we dream in the city that never sleeps?
How can we bleed for this city that's bittersweet?

[Chorus]
We stand up, stand up, stand up higher than they can build
We rise up, rise up, rise up and let the city know
We stand up, stand up, stand up higher than they can build
To open up the skies to count the stars as we sleep tonight

[Verse 2]
The rats in the streets playing hide and seek
While these motherfuckers looking for a way to eat, oh
To live to breathe, or breathe to live
Is nothing more than your means to live
Nothing more than your means to live
C.R.E.A.M
Suits and ties with cuffs and stripes
Open up and there's nothing inside
[Chorus]
We stand up, stand up, stand up higher than they can build
We rise up, rise up, rise up and let the city know
We stand up, stand up, stand up higher than they can build
To open up the skies to count the stars as we sleep tonight
We stand up, stand up, stand up higher than they can build
We rise up, rise up, rise up and let the city know
We stand up, stand up, stand up higher than they can build
To open up the skies to count the stars as we sleep tonight

[Outro]
One in this million, one in a million
One in this million, one in a million
We are the reckoning
One in this million is all we are
One in a million is all we need
One in this million is all we are
One in a million is all we need
