[Intro]
See What You Hear
Feel What You See
Yeah
Swear this don't sound like a rap song
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Huh, Look
Aim for the top
Keep both eyes on the rock
That's the prize set in
For brides wit dreams of a live wedding
Change the time setting
Cause im ahead of my present
And of course this sh** is deep, I need you to dive in it and find feelings
That, maybe open yo mind
Get in and create thoughts that change your indifferent heart and spark
Concern about everything you done saw
Lessons life taught
A man who cares about nothing's merely nothing at heart
So wear your heart on your sleeve if you please
Some boys'll, slaughter for cheese, no greed, or no beef
That boy just, struggling barely makes rent
Actions of a boy that's never seen dollars rarely makes sense
And I'm, far from a street n***a
Labeled a house n***a, the rap Fiddler
Schoolin you slaves to the game
Put the tool to ya brain for ya chain, swear these n***as quick to
k** for the j**els a reciprocate of Hitler
[Hook]
Lift up the fader, watch my people rise above the ocean floor
(All rise)
Praise to my creator, I've been blessed with veins of pain let's overdose
(Yeah)
Long nights got me jaded, lord's my witness that's why I keep holding on
(And I won't ever let go)
So lift up the fader, watch my people rise above the ocean floor
(Cause we up, cause we UP, UP, UP)
[Verse 2]
Back to the basics
You got a problem come face it
We straighten without no braces
Runnin sh** in my Asics
Smelly footprints in your basement
A sublime being
Don't look down, I'm only underground for the time being
You should picture what my mind's seeing
Ancestors that never got free and, from gettin whipped to the whips Ima let my mom be in
When I finally get my dough boy
Ain't iight when more than half of yo family is po-boy
No chicken sandwiches from Popeyes, just n***as managing
They lock eyes with the devil without panicing
But, never the less this sh** damages
In the streets where the famine is, n***as just tryna eat they some scavengers
I, pray that they get fed
They cuttin ties wit peace I pray that y'all play dead
I'm on the rise like yeast I pray that that make bread
If so them s**a n***as better stay scared cause I'm coming for their heads
[Hook]
Lift up the fader, watch my people rise above the ocean floor
(All rise)
Praise to my creator, I've been blessed with veins of pain let's overdose
(Yeah)
Long nights got me jaded, lord's my witness that's why I keep holding on
(And I won't ever let go)
So lift up the fader, watch my people rise above the ocean floor
(Cause we up, cause we UP, UP, UP)
[Verse 3]
Live from VA where we stay humble
Walk the walk and I never stumble
Big balls that I never fumble
Agh
Omit cause and I never rumble
You falter I never crumble
Straight flossing up out the rubble
I'm, usually on instrumentals pourin out my heart
Swear this sh** is really real when you know it from the start
Most these n***as is fake
Wait, you'll see it in the end
But then it's too late Ima loaded weapon bouta sin
And k** hate
You real fake, all pretend
Man all these n***as rap bout how their money never ends
And how can you relate when you don't share the same ends
Dawg get in where you fit in, that's the message that I send
Recieve it like a blessing or Jermaine Gresham
Hotter than flames, outta range, won't a thang touch him
I said recieve it like a blessing or Jermaine Gresham
Hotter than flames, outta range, won't a damn thang touch him n***a
[Outro]
So lift up the fader, watch my people rise above the ocean floor
Praise to my creator, I've been blessed with veins of pain let's overdose
Long nights got me jaded, lord's my witness that's why I keep holding on
So lift up the fader, watch my people rise above the ocean floor
