Syndrome - Rise Above lyrics

[Intro] See, because sometimes A lot of times Things just don't happen the way we want them to And that's just how it gets down, bro It's how you get down with the get down, brah So basically, this is how... Uh...this is... Yeah [Verse 1] All my life, I've been a miserable child All my life, I've been a miserable child See, my mom was too busy to help And my dad was nowhere to be found So in the misery, ya'll, I was stuck with no way to escape People tell me, "Take a drink." I'm like, "Eff no, I think I'd rather take a blade" And pierce it through my own heart, cause my life is so hard What am I even living for? I'm just a clumsy retard With no talent or sk**. Bet you if I got k**ed Nobody would even notice, they'd just think I'm laying still Or maybe I'm exaggerating. Sue me if you will But I learned any weak person can take their own life Because it takes strength and guile to carry on and fight So every night, when I lie and close my eyes I keep in mind, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't I Who made the decision to push forward within the times [Hook] Believe me, it wasn't easy, but enough was enough Believe me, it wasn't easy, but I had to rise above Believe me, it wasn't easy, but enough was enough Believe me, it's never easy, but you gotta rise above Yo, 'tard. I'm Bogard; Power-freaking-Wave I can do anything I put my brain to, man You put your lifeforce in it. That's the way you win it Put your lifeforce in it. That's the way you win it, and go [Verse 2] I'm volatile cause I'm always pushed to go the extra mile Even when feeling despair. And they whisper evil in my ear I forced myself to become hearing impaired Man, I never cared Final result of a social experiment gone wrong: A million tears Wish I could cry, but I won't. Just want to give up, but I can't Gotta get back up and I test my luck once more cause I'm the man Do you not understand I'm the man with a plan? Better ease up out my face Like a ticking time bomb. Yeah, why not? Pretty much, we are the same, and People [are] always trying to get in my head What is my allegiance? What is my pledge? Like I don't have enough battles already I wish you would all get dead Day and night, fight just to get fed. You don't want to mess with a dude who is The equivalent of a real Max Payne in the making; A fighter, let's do this Put a good ear to the words I said. I'm a fighter 'til the day I'm dead Break you down; Decepticon Can't compete cause you ain't got that edge Contemplated jumping off that ledge Did it many times inside my head. But ultimately, this [is] what I said I'mma get up and fight instead [Hook] Believe me, it wasn't easy, but enough was enough Believe me, it wasn't easy, but I had to rise above Believe me, it wasn't easy, but enough was enough Believe me, it's never easy, but you gotta rise above Yo, 'tard. I'm Bogard; Power-freaking-Wave I can do anything I put my brain to, man You put your lifeforce in it. That's the way you win it Put your lifeforce in it. That's the way you win it, and go
