Can You Feel It?

(album: The Rise - 2020)

I see my name up in lights, momma always told me I would shine bright
The obstacles that were frightening are kinda nice in hindsight
Ready for action ain't no matching my passion the balance of
Making it happen and waiting until the times right

It's the trifecta stern but nice fella, habitual rhyme shredder
Ch ch mic checker quick to deny cheddar hip hop is my treasure
Go hard or go home no slacking in my sector

Just forget about the fortune forget about the fame
Speak your truth and let that be the reason they remember your name

Can you feel the weight of the world tonight
Can you feel the pressure that builds inside
Can you feel it

You're hoping I fold the flow is intact
Combine rhythm and rhyme so you know it's a wrap
You're skills are ill you're motives are whack
Maybe forget about the gimmicks and focus on that
I've been making people mad they've been calling me a villain
I'm not saying that you're trash you just outta be consistent
You're losing sight and it's sad you should broaden all your senses
Every time I'm in my bag they get all up in their feelings

I release all the pain I keep bottled in me
And put my heart in every bar you should follow the beat
And let the rift hit lift and rip you apart
Increase the flames we been lit from the start

Can you feel the weight of the world tonight
Can you feel the pressure that builds inside
Can you feel it

No way you're giving up
No matter what you always feel the pressure that builds inside
Can you feel it

You gotta be careful who you look up to
Really watch who you got your sights on
They'll sell you a dream they don't even believe
That's why they call it an icon
Most of them don't even write rhymes
Probably never reach the level that I'm on
Let a hater be a hater and let bygones be bygones
Try to remain cool even when you're honestly out of it
See the glass as half full even when your problems seem bottomless
Even if nobody's acknowledging you gotta stay positive
Like a psychotic optimist it's not cocky it's confidence
Even when you're breaking down find that strength the face the crowd
Unleash that inner beast say your peace and take a bow
Forget about the fortune forget about the fame
Speak your truth and that'll be the reason they remember your name

Can you feel the weight of the world tonight
Can you feel the pressure that builds inside
Can you feel it

No way you're giving up
No matter what you always feel the pressure that builds inside
Can you feel it
