Royal T - Rise, Pt. 1 Lyrics

Count your blessings you've thrown away
Pick yourself up can't die today
Surrender all your losses, gained
Power I feel got me insane
You been faithless, yeah, that would be an understatement
Ain't put your baggage on the cross, you put it on their playlist
Took all it had in you, to not give up, and not be nameless
Talked about your pride and opened up, but really you just faked it
You said we were through, you took your shot and didn't make it
Now I got the chance to rise, and really make a name worth saving
That isn't true, It's up to me and you ain't changing
Doubt and pride we back again, your heart feels like our home, we're staying
We Can't Die, Make you a clone then we gone make this paper
You ain't from the trenches but well lie and you gone fix it later
We get high, on desperation, question your salvation, dwell upon your sin and shame until you built a callous hatred
Trust us Ty, you know the fame gon' make you rich adjacent, everything you've wanted, but your soul that's just our little payment
Choose your side, if it's not us then you gon' face some failure, we can give you purpose, chasing happiness, (don't need a savior)

Me, Myself, and I was who you said was gonna hold it down
Junkie for the pain, how you gonna sing, you get nervous in crowds
20 something years old, chasing rap, nah you really a child
We made all the music off the throne, you don't deserve the crown (Ay)
Fans, they want us back, yeah they digging the sound
Say that you a copy picking pockets but you own the town
Intro number 2 and you can't afford to lose it now
Fighting back won't help, it'll just take longer to put you down

Finally some peace
Putting you in that cage, made it for us, know you can see
What it's like to be locked up while you were living our dream
Truth is, thought you were strong, but you let us out, (your weak)
We can view the world through our eyes, take off your disguise
Fill it up with more of us, you can't win let the world try
Strength is in our numbers, it's ironically like your kind
Pushing 'em all away, now it's just us, (welcome to the dark side)

We gonna meet with lust (not love)
We gonna meet with pain (shame)
We gonna meet with greed, hand around your throat leaving a stain (aaah)
Taking over your power, letting your pride go and devour,
Every thought that brought you a hope, made you what you meant to be, you a coward
They laughing at your state of mind and the chaos up in your brain
You think your a lil' rapper now, missing talent, skill, and some bling
They telling you to get a day job, don't worry we'll get it straight
Maybe he should be medicated, nah it's too late for that freak
Let him once on stage now, fam freaked but the stream down
Selling you in the game, how you gon' mix that with your freedom
Handle it like you did us, you reversing roles? Okay how?
And covering up your face, you can't hide, we gonna keep you around
I'm breaking out, you can't hold me down
Better shut your mouth, more tape now
You know we got your life in our hands, ain't going to last more than a couple rounds
I'm still alive and I beat doubt
Want a chance to rise better bring 'em out
It's round 3 you need me
Let's kill 'em off in surround sound

It's my turn to speak
I let you have your words, now I got chains tight on my feet
Told me I'd be happy but it was joy my eyes wanna see
Already back here too long, by the end of this I'll be free
Slowly picking myself up, healing wounds gon' be next
Talking down on my name, all you gonna hit me with is a green text
They putting me in a box, had to give 'em something that they'd expect
Check in with me part two and I'll show why they gon' regret
