Rise Up Lyrics

Look where we headed, niggas want baby mamas instead of weddings
They holler she crazy! You knew that before you got her pregnant
Visualize the dream of Malcolm and Martin opposite
We all Gods children, making the devils adoption list
Free will keep overriding our common sense
Born with a conscious, but over time we build up a tolerance
Immunity to scrutiny, thats just how the world turn
And Alfred taught me some people just want to watch the world burn
Ashes to ashes after flashes of decisions made
The world disintegrates, thats shallow, just take centre stage
As I pen this page, some would say that Im a renegade
Cleanin out my closet, Im just man enough to renovate
Seduction or corruptionll have us all fucked
Before we all stuck, see the light before we awestruck
Back to that baby mama, nigga, here your little boy come
Lifetime to build a future, only seconds to destroy one

[Hook]
Rise, they say my methods is a weapon
Say hello to Mr. AK47, seven
Send me to the jeweler or the reverend
Cause Im bout to spray this extra clip I left in
So rise, motherfucker, rise
Oh, whats the point?
You will die or probably commit suicide to this joint
My nigga, rise, they say my message is a weapon
Say hello to Mr. AK47, seven

Before they close my casket, I want my words to reach to the masses
Before they have me in shackles sayin I didnt pay my taxes
We laughing, but whats wack is that this shit could actually happen
Shit is real life, the lights and the cameras is just distractions
Spoon sped out the mob from the time we open our eyes
We dont try to seek the truth, we more comfortable with the lies
Like I told you black was blue and you never knew all this time
Or 1+1 was really 3, youd go out of your fucking mind
Kids is suicidal, homicidal, wanna be famous
Hopin that the video of the trial gon go viral
How weve spiralled as a generation, not enough answers
Too many questions, I close my eyes and count my blessings
Im realistic about this life, shit, thats why I write shit
Thatll make a nigga think twice and focus on the right shit
When happiness aint got a price, man, that shit is priceless Jon Connor - Rise Up - http://motolyrics.com/jon-connor/rise-up-lyrics.html
But it takes some folks they whole life to recognize this, so

[Hook]
Rise, they say my methods is a weapon
Say hello to Mr. AK47, seven
Send me to the jeweler or the reverend
Cause Im bout to spray this extra clip I left in
So rise, motherfucker, rise
Oh, whats the point?
You will die or probably commit suicide to this joint
My nigga, rise, they say my message is a weapon
Say hello to Mr. AK47, seven

Violence begets violence, but killers respect the silence
Not religious, but I still pray to God and respect the science
Were deaf when the kids is crying, and stare when the TEKs is firing
So we the endangered species, theyd rather protect the lions
In the Matrix looking for Zion, dying by the gat
Is as American as the bacon that theyre frying with the fat
They lying, them niggas flat when they clappin at em like BLAP!
Your opinion on the matter dont matter, matter of fact
They be aiming it at our backs cause we market it as a target
Went from modern day prophets to martyrs dying for profit
Went from body rockin to molly popping
Probably stop at the sight of this nigga rockin
At the supermarket shopping
Tryna cop a shotgun with a debit card
Listening to demagogues
Whos representing Brooklyn like Decepticons
This is the new Renaissance
My accountant get 5% cause he respect the gods

[Hook]
Rise, they say my methods is a weapon
Say hello to Mr. AK47, seven
Send me to the jeweler or the reverend
Cause Im bout to spray this extra clip I left in
So rise, motherfucker, rise
Oh, whats the point?
You will die or probably commit suicide to this joint
My nigga, rise, they say my message is a weapon
Say hello to Mr. AK47, seven.
