RISE

(lyrics)

Some of you may wonder...wonder, what I’m doing here

I couldn’t bring myself to completely disappear.

Five long years since I’ve come back...On track, and you know...

Hot in black

(Hah-hah!)

I’ve dealt with the hate, the bait and the stagnate just served to frustrate

A debate and a floodgate that tried to sedate, negate, berate and abdicate.

My work here’s not done, but I still have my fun

Go ahead and shun, but know I’ve hardly begun

(Yeah!)

To build and create, to demonstrate I have what it takes to rise above the lies

To thrive and drive to greater skies.

(chorus)

Rise

Rise to your ambitions, positions and acquisitions

Lift your mind and your heart to rise above the ashes and flames

The games and the claims

Break expectation, promise yourself to rise

Rise

RISE

I am what I am, and my time has become a program

So wound up, I had to draw a diagram

Of dates and days when I can be with you, it's true...

there’s a queue

(What?)

I've rejected society, propriety and refuse your morality

Born to strife, I live my life where only the strong survive

I entertain, the champagne, the chains and the pain

The strain to abstain, the reign and the gain...

(Say it!)

It's in vain to complain

I am master of my domain.

(chorus)

Rise

Rise to your ambitions, positions and acquisitions

Lift your mind and your heart to rise above the ashes and flames

The games and the claims

Break expectation, promise yourself to rise

Rise

RISE

(recite)

FEAR has two meanings.

I can mean "Forget Everything And Run..."

Or... "Face Everything and RISE"

The choice... is yours.
