(Rise)
Introducin`.... a new breed of MC...Rise, know wut I mean..
(Man) What is your name
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I`m glad that people don`t know that I`m raw
Cuz superstar rappers can`t go to the grociery store
Don`t do it for tours, I do it for drawers, I hate the business
And if I had a wish I`d just wish for more wishes
with my extra wishes, fuck money fame and huge favors
Fuck Bitches, I wish my eyes could shoot lasers
The new greatest, the next rapper this great
Would win a statuete carved in the shape of my face
the early stages, my studio at home when I flipped it
I make songs to make my name buzz like my equiptment
From my mind to the paper, from the tip of a pen
I kick rhymes with ill lines that you`ll kick to your friends
Over the beats, my name goes so much through the streets
I`m told Rise was nice from cats that didn`t know it was me
Through life, I gained knowledge, rhymes to pass it on
record songs so I can talk shit after I`m gone
Hook: (scratching) Repeat 2x`s
(Man)
Do you know him... Rise
(Woman)
I don`t think so... Rise
(Man)
What is your name... Rise
(Woman)
I Don`t Know Him... Rise
[Verse 2]
Rise the type of cat to outshine you on tracks
give you a pat just to put a kick me sign on your back
Cuz you`re a sign that everybody thinks you can rap
but that`s aiight cuz everybody thought the planet was flat
You ain`t better, cuz you been rhymin` loner than Rise
I been nice a few years, you been wack since `85
All the techniques, and styles, and the rhymes that you speak, STOLEN
Talk is cheap, ya`ll niggas is sheep in wolves clothn`
Arrogant, used to be shy, but then I lost it
Now I draw a line on the floor & dare you to cross it
You forefeit, as long as my crew`s breathin`
your clique will be shook at home talkin` turns sleepin`
Paranoid, scared, waitin` for the attack
in the mirror tellin` yourself that your better than that
I`m wreckin` the tracks, I represent a rhyme for the streets
Your whole song is phat except for the rhymes and the beats
Hook repeat 2x`s
[Verse 3]
Ya`ll don`t write, you pay for airplays and rhymes of the month
A risin` star, I don`t respect you cuz I do my own stunts
The rap ward is run by morons, dude you don`t get it
that`s why I simplify, to cater to the dimwitted
when I spit it niggas gotta plan they`re will`s
I gotta here em rip it, everybody`s man is Ill
I just show sometimes if I can be polite when you rap
When I really wanna hum and hold my ears when you rap
Don`t care to be phat the way they introduce your rhymes
But you battle about nothin` like women do at times
If you ever flowin` with Rise, my level`s goin` so high
to the average human eye, I`m just a spot in the sky
Makin it tho, Parade threw my face on the floor
behind bulletproof glass I`m encased like the Pope
I`m too, big for these pawns can`t stand it in here
nigga you too small, your feet still bang on your chairs
Hook
