about

How do you rise up against adversity? Life is filled with challenges to the spiritual, mental, and physical. You're going to get knocked down, but this song is about how you rise up from the ashes to fight another day.

lyrics

[Hook]
When all you have in your life
Is your word and your pride
And they try to take that away
You try to play the game
Like it ain’t no thing
But it means much more to me.
...How to keep your guard up
When you’re knocked around...
...How you gonna rise up
When they knock you down?

It’s time for bars spitting hard lyrics
Give you what ya’ll missing.
Did ya’ll miss me?
I’m here to make history.
least lift up your spirits...
when other rappers are having hissy fits!
Chirping on their adlibs
when Missy already did that shit! (Skrt)
...Let me show the wickedness
of my Penmanship
Narcissist! BoJack Horseman
Of the apocalypse!
Wesley Snipe you like Blade
Conveying the sharpest artist
No garbage I’m on it
Until the day they cart away my carcass
Honestly...being modest
Is hardly the way to profit
Ancestors picking
tobacco and cotton…
Until they rise up and suddenly
there is a problem. Not shocking
Because you’re gonna fight back
When you’re all out of options
Think of this as a message to stop it...
You tripping balls not bars.
Last I checked to my knowledge.
That Molly prolly get you bodied
Hardly making money moves
Unless you be Cardi B in the party
Sorry but not sorry!

[Hook]
When all you have in your life
Is your word and you pride
And they try to take that away
You try to play the game
Like it ain’t no thing
But it means much more to me.
...How to keep your guard up
When you’re knocked around...
...How you gonna rise up
When they knock you down?

No one..
is gonna keep on growin'
Unless you’re related to me
Like X-23 to Logan
I see your blurred speech
Needs to get back in to focus
Don’t block the current
Currently I think that we are flowing
They try gentrify our city
But we’re still on our grizzly
I show what I got like
Like Rick & Morty when they get Schwifty
Community is everything to me
Rest In Peace Nipsey...
Hustle harder and connect
With people that will feel me
— If not...go ahead and get got
We don’t tolerate shit on this block
Cause in the real world you’re not talking tough
You’re a target acting like a big shot
...Don’t get pissed off
if a I call you out and you feel shocked
I hit hard and you get popped
With more punch lines than Chris Rock
And this is not about an ego
...It’s more about fighting evils
...Who are jealous of the notion
Of us growing as a people.
Now it’s time for that challenge
Playing the game with no cheat code
It doesn’t cost a lot
So pay attention to where we go.

[Hook]
When all you have in your life
Is your word and your pride
And they try to take that away
You try to play the game
Like it ain’t no thing
But it means much more to me.
...How to keep your guard up
When you’re knocked around...
...How you gonna rise up
When they knock you down?

Flow baptized me
the water had to bless me
Find me in Bermuda
With a pair new Jet skies
crowd gave an “Aye”
If you ever wanna test me
In this league the great one
The rapping Wayne Gretzky
get it on the floor
(Get it) Get it on the floor
(Keep) Keep you head rocking
Til you can’t no more
Kill it now lyrical
Salute me like a general
If you knock me down
I’m gonna rise up for another round!
