Raising The Bar

(album: The Awakening - 2016)

Back up Back up, I'm just switching my craft up
If you ain't got no substance it's a must that you get passed up, (bye)
Pack up pack up, I gotta tell you that your math sucks
Rapping about that cash you do not have doesn't add up
Stop it, I'm not concerned about your profit
I'm going to hit the booth tell the truth, give 'em something to rock with
I'm penning our story, the beginning of glory
If you feel it like I feel it put your hands up to the ceiling
And witness the realest

We are who we are
We will live through these scars
And we'll come back stronger than before
Just remember one thing
We are who we are
And this is me homie like it or not
So no matter what it takes I'm a fight for my spot
I grasped the essence of rap and I'm taking it far
Yo It really ain't hard spot me you can watch me I'm just raising the bar

D to the I SC REPAN C to the IES no question
Blessed with the intellect, wreck till we get respect
Destined to be the best, but never the less
Some people think I'm crazy and it just won't last
Well I would rather walk down that psychopath
So please excuse this intrusion but I choose bliss
I'm just a nuisance abusing my kung fu grip
You gotta hold on to hope even if they complain
Your dreams are your dreams there's no reason to change
I'm just saying

We are who we are
We will live through these scars
And we'll come back stronger than before
Just remember one thing
We are who we are
And this is me homie like it or not
So no matter what it takes I'm a fight for my spot
I grasped the essence of rap and I'm taking it far
Yo It really ain't hard spot me you can watch me I'm just raising the bar

The possibilities will haunt you
If you do not lift the weight it will pull you under
The negativity will taunt you
If you do not lift the weight it will pull you under
You keep your demons hidden deep inside
But if you do not strive to rise it will
Pull you under
And I know it sucks and you seem to be stuck
But at the moment you give up
It will pull you under

Not Up to you to decide my fate
It's my future that's what's at stake
I am lucid for heaven's sake
But we're humans we make mistakes
So whether you're bi, gay or straight
A person of any race
Religion or any faith
A victim of any hate
Let them know that we will not break

We are who we are
We will live through these scars
And we'll come back stronger than before
Just remember one thing
We are who we are
And this is me homie like it or not
So no matter what it takes I'm a fight for my spot
I grasped the essence of rap and I'm taking it far
Yo It really ain't hard spot me you can watch me I'm just raising the bar
