“Rise”

Ft. Raashan Ahamd, Zumbi

[Chorus: Gift Of Gab]

And through the trifling times, Hail Mary to the world, can we heal ‘em with rhymes?

Rise mighty warrior rise; rise again, maybe one day we’ll merge with the god within.

And through the tribulations and trials, just let the rhythm guide you, here’s a brand new style.

Rise mighty warrior rise; rise again, maybe one day we’ll merge with the god within.

[Gift Of Gab]

They say that substance is a thing of the past in rap

And some holler that it’s even a handicap.

I want to open up eyes but I find that I talk more than I walk, so it’s sort of like “the blind leading the blind”.

Still I see the divine inside, all my people inheritance??(til the)?? Kingdom reside in the Matrix

Money is not the key of true freedom, but when I say that to the starving it doesn’t feed them.

I speak of meditation, people thinking I’m weird.

I’m talking about yogis, mothafuckas think of a bear.

I want to empty out all the chatter and go in and dwell,

To find an inner god with them and say “you’re going to hell for that.”

My fan base is not who I grew up around,

I’m touring the world but my folks is still struggle bound

The more I learn, I learn I don’t know nothing.

I say “life’s great”, brothas is like “Let me hold something?”

[Chorus: Gift Of Gab]

And through the trifling times, Hail Mary to the world, can we heal ‘em with rhymes?

Rise mighty warrior rise; rise again, maybe one day we’ll merge with the god within.

And through the tribulations and trials, just let the rhythm guide you, here’s a brand new style.

Rise mighty warrior rise; rise again, maybe one day we’ll merge with the god within.

[Raashan Ahmad]

Said I’m a weirdo, underground, conscience, and crazy.

Can I scream “God” and at the same time “Pay me”?

Would your head nod if I talk about ladies and how I wanna do them? Is the whole song ruined?

I’m doing all my best, play on life’s court.

Can I study Rumi and still quote Too Short? “YEEAAAH”

I am just trying to find balance, do the best that I can

But I always backslide because I am only a man.

Trying to be that change but things don’t change

So tryna to change course, but I am stuck in the same flow.

Speaking on the highs and the rut of these same lows

Make me wanna cry, “too soft for you lame-Os”.

Do I got to die for my art like Ramo to validate confusion that I feel? Gotta say “no”.

No, cus still I rise and make a little progress through all my tries. I rise.

[Chorus: Gift Of Gab]

And through the trifling times, Hail Mary to the world, can we heal ‘em with rhymes?

Rise mighty warrior rise; rise again, maybe one day we’ll merge with the god within.

And through the tribulations and trials, just let the rhythm guide you, here’s a brand new style.

Rise mighty warrior rise; rise again, maybe one day we’ll merge with the god within.

[Zumbi]

You might have heard me holler “Jah Jah”, “Buddha”, “Allah”

Praise be to the most High, baba.

And that’s I, when I fly like manna

Fall from the sky, relax top gunna.

And no wonder you can feel what I’m under. I’m shooting up for heaven with my head in a slumber.

Kind of sleepy but still you can peep me.

Serving juices, fruit like litchi. See these speeches beseech me.

And these leeches they teach me beef is beneath me.

Tryna ?(fith)? with the kitchen ?(greasy)? and people believe wouldn’t life be so easy.

But the ice is so freezy that’s between you and me that you can’t feel my steezy.

It’s an everyday thang keep it breezy. God is in all so it’s all to the geezy.

[Chorus: Gift Of Gab]

And through the trifling times, Hail Mary to the world, can we heal ‘em with rhymes?

Rise mighty warrior rise; rise again, maybe one day we’ll merge with the god within.

And through the tribulations and trials, just let the rhythm guide you, here’s a brand new style.

Rise mighty warrior rise; rise again, maybe one day we’ll merge with the god within.
