Lyrics
"Rise" Words and Music by Raymond Figueroa
I?ve been damned depressed, I?ve been so darn stressed
Everybody?s been acting crazy, things seem to be coming to a head
How can you not see her, sometimes I want to be her
And you utterly fail to see that it?s not the real me here
And I just want, I want everything to be alright and for us to win.
Sometimes those crazy things you say are true, and you always do say them
And I just can?t be like you.
Rise
Oh you know that you?ve got to.
Try to live my life, all I see is strife
Everybody?s been acting strangely, are we living or have we psychologically died
But you don?t even know him, how can you disown him
And It?s obvious to me that it has never been shown to him.
Sometimes those crazy things you say are true, and you always do say them
And I just can?t be like you.
Rise
You know that you?ve got to rise
You know that you?ve got to.
Ain?t no body gonna keep you down, not gonna happen while I?m around
I say you better get up and stand up, stand up tall and give them a fight
You got another chance, not gonna watch you kick yourself in the pants
And there might not be a tomorrow so why not join in the dance
And I just want everything to be alright and for us to win.
Sometimes those crazy things you say are true, and you always do say them
And I just can?t be like you.
Rise
From your troubles don?t you know that you?ve got to rise
You know that you?ve got to.
