Rise Above lyrics

The buck stops here, I mean it
It don't really matter who you are, 'cause how I see it
You controlling all of what you do and who you be with
Time to use your power of decision, it's a free gift
I'mma be real with ya for a minute
You're the master of your situation 'cause you're in it
It's like you went and locked yourself up in a lonely prison
And threw away the key and turned yourself into a victim
You know you're stronger than that, quit lying to yourself
And don't you know that you ain't powerless in need of help
If you don't like the situation you're livin' in
You got the power to change it into what you are envisionin'
I just say it 'cause I know you need to hear it
Beautiful lyrics beating power deep into your spirit
And though the road to be free is paved with difficulty
Remember, ain't nothing worth having ever getting for free
 
You gotta rise above the hate, rise above the cold
Rise above the vice, rise above the gold
Rise above the fakers, thinking they can change you
Can't let the world on the outside change you
Rise above the dust, rise above the pain
Rise up in the sun, rise up in the rain
Rise up above the fear to give up when you're slippin'
For all the cold world don't hear your cause
You gotta rise above it all
 
You ain't a helpless little baby, I can't believe
How many times I hear it, it's crazy
Picture people scared of change, so they stay in chains
Listening to their feelings over their brains
I know that you ain't half as stuck in your hell
But you would rather pray for luck to excel
Remember that God helps those who really want it
So when the victory comes, you don't just stumble upon it
You've gotta fight for the right to be triumphant
And when the change comes, then it's time to get up on it
Don't just put it off until you talk yourself insane
Do it now before you second guess your own brain
You gotta fight through the winter for the summer
Overcoming these obstacles like Olympian runners
And I don't know about y'all, but I ain't accepting a beat
'Cause I'm hungry and I'm ready to eat
 
You gotta rise above the hate, rise above the cold
Rise above the vice, rise above the gold
Rise above the fakers, thinking they can change you
Can't let the world on the outside change you
Rise above the dust, rise above the pain
Rise up in the sun, rise up in the rain
Rise up above the fear to give up when you're slippin'
For all the cold world don't hear your cause
You gotta rise above it all
 
Let's take a second to be real with ourselves
Only complacency can steal from my wealth
And don't forget that your wealth can be comprised
Of the simplest things, even paupers can richer than kings
Come here to (???), we think we're trapped
'Cause of the world and its violence
But that mentality for too long is balanced
It's time to get your head from out of the system
Brothers as men, for more than a prison
So much more than statistics, and women
That's listening, you better check yourselves
'Cause it's time to respect yourselves
If the man that you're with makes it a hell that you're livin'
Then tell me why the hell is you with him
'Cause he said it gonn' be different this time
A nigga really gonn' change
How many times you gonna fall for the same?
I heard the same old excuses, complete with violent music
The kerb's lonely, so it's time to kick him to it
Now follow as we go, homie we the men that built
We wasn't meant for the sideshow
It's your life, don't let go of that
And let nothing every hold you back
 
You gotta rise above the hate, rise above the cold
Rise above the vice, rise above the gold
Rise above the dust, rise above the pain
Rise up in the sun, rise up in the rain
Rise above the fear, rise above the night
Rise avove the wrong, rise up for the right
Rise above the greed, rise above these walls
Rise up when you stand, rise up when you fall
Rise above it all
Oh hell, can't stop us now
Oh hell, can't stop us now
Oh hell, can't stop us now
Oh hell, can't stop us now
