[Intro]

We rise, we fall, we pray, we sin

We lose, we win, that's how it is

[Verse 1]

Whether you from the burbs or the ghetto

You better put on your best getup

And get up, up from the air of self-identity

And elders were our national treasures

And tell them folks you love 'em while they're alive

And well it's better than when you bury 'em

The real emcees of being self, that will never die

The ever-changing space I'm dwelling in, I'm revitalized

Remaining points of miss all the mental noise and being dignified

The way I gotta ride it out, I'm bending air, I'm living, and I'm here

[Chorus]

We rise, we fall, we pray, we sin

We lose, we win, that's how it is

They come, they go, but in the end

We'll go... on

We rise, we fall, we pray, we sin

We lose, we win, that's how it is

They come, they go, but in the end

We'll go... on

[Verse 2]

Thanking God that I ain't break, I might have bent myself a shape

Then I shattered the pain and doubt, I trimmed it down

My brain's sharp and I'm reaping fruits of the harvest

Creating bosses cathartic, pouring liquor on the ground for all my daily departed

I'm long-winded and gifted, it's something that you can breeze

Past shape-shifting of vision, I'm weightlifting, I be that

Obsidian pig, men and women, pushing, tryna do good

Call me little 'Milly that could

Breathe life in the lines, where the saviors and the gangstas dine

Black and African, listen underneath the great divide

Healers and killers and the people in the middle all need a revival

Woke up and got an eyeful sometimes

Some of them things, I ain't even know I was blind to

Besides the rhymes, I got drops shaking the sideview

Its levels tryna party with my pond is where I fight these devils

What good is music if it don't get in the crevice of your heart

[Chorus]

We rise, we fall, we pray, we sin

We lose, we win, that's how it is

They come, they go, but in the end

We'll go... on

We rise, we fall, we pray, we sin

We lose, we win, that's how it is

They come, they go, but in the end

We'll go... on

[Verse 3]

Sending peace to anyone that's in my sector

I'm sending peace because we need it, yeah we at war

'Cause any day above ground is one to wish for

So when you get through them storms, gotta use your best form

Gotta move your legs and swing ya arms

With every breath that carries off

See, I was birthed to make a mark

I know that now I ain't ending now

See, I been swimming up shitty creeks

Hiking around the mountain peaks

Battling, salvaging happiness buried beneath way down in the valley deep

Racing beats and I move in a rhythm

I gotta go get it, you see the mold that I broke from

It's literal bullets and tragedy, triumph, and gold

So I'm dotting my i's and crossing t's

And twenty one time its elasticity

To set the example after me

I'm basking the greatness passed to me

A balancing act, no one nostalgic

It's the love, passion compounded

It's the light from the blackest of matter

My family, duns, in memory of

My friend in hearing and Uncle Sammy

Everybody that lost their daddy

'Cause I did in twenty fourteen, the very year that I became to be me

[Chorus]

We rise, we fall, we pray, we sin

We lose, we win, that's how it is

They come, they go, but in the end

We'll go... on

We rise, we fall, we pray, we sin

We lose, we win, that's how it is

They come, they go, but in the end

We'll go... on

[Outro]

Let me hear that
