Lyrics

RISE ABOVE
By: Taco & Da Mofo's

1st Verse (Taco):
I?m trynna show some love, But it gets so messed up,
Chumps love to see me fall, they hate when I get up,
They staying bout that bull, I?m trynna keep it cool,
And I ain?t gotta front, Too busy pulling stunts,
Get hyped tonight and don?t need no drugs, its in my blood to rise above,
No depression we rock mics, You think you?re right but life?s like syke,
Your main things to put folks down, but your mouth stays shut when we?re around, so now what?, You stay down and we?ll stay up
Chorus:
You always try to bring me down when I?m up but,
I?ll let you know what?s up, I?m made to Rise Above,
And I cant get enough, I?m made to Rise Above,
I?ll let you know what?s up, I?m made to Rise Above
2nd Verse (Keela):
This situations got me pacin?, my heart is racin?, from all this anticipation,
Observation, is that you?re hatin?, all up in my facin?,
You be telling me that you?re not but B.S. is all that I?m tastin?,
Change the station, and quit your fakin?, for goodness sakin?,
I know you wanna be a holding me a back from all these moves I?m makin?,
Your mistakin?, me I?m not breakin?, My dreams I?m chasin?,
And showing that I will rise above is now my obligation

Chorus 2

3rd Verse/Bridge (Keela):
You always try, to put me down but, I aint gone lie, I?m getting fed up,
It?s about time, You I get rid of, Your whole agenda is just plain wack,
So when it comes to me you best step back UH

Taco:
Your boy makes moves, and your boy won?t lose, and your boy?s got nothing to prove to you (x4)
