I ain't looking for trouble, tryna find some pleasure in my mind
It's an endeavor, I'm severin' every learnin' line
While I'm burnin' time with a certain lie
It's away for today that the curtain slides
But I'm cursed, recursive verses die
But I'm working urgently to
Rise above, woah, to rise above
To rise above, woah, to rise above
I underestimated time I've wasted, yesterday it
Slipped through my fingers and I feel as though it decimated
Pessimistic estimations, sunny rays have penetrated
Through the days, debilitative, illustrations in the state of
Purest satisfaction, it's absurd that this could happen
But I sure as hell ain't passin' on passion and laughter lasting
Through the night
So I get back up on the mic and spit what I write
Better sit tight when I get like this, finna get righteous
I just tell 'em what they wanna hear until they've gone and disappeared
So I can get my vision clear of condescending pioneers
Of unessential criticisms spouted out in silly rhythms
Shattered with no filling in 'em, shrouded in the cynicism
It's all I can do to keep myself from losing cool, but who is who
I'm just sitting here, at least they tryna get it through
While I'm burnin' time with a certain lie
It's away for today that the curtain slides
But I'm cursed, recursive verses die
But I'm working urgently to
Rise above, woah, to rise above
To rise above, woah, to rise above
Check it, yo
I see the world for what it is and what it wants to be
The root of every evil absolved by the right company
With like mind suffering, I might try wondering
Why you don't get together and break the tether
That takes enough of these
Precious and evanescent impressions of bitter lessons
That test us into confessions and press us to form connections
With the people all around us to appreciate when they found us
But it's easier for the cowards to push 'em away in their most needed hours
So we run around in circles with different circumferences
Encompassin' a couple friends and a cup of tea for pretend
Just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down
Continue orbiting your problems till gravity brings you down
At least you found a moment of parody with a feeling closer to clarity
As appealing unnecessarily, I judge it isn't fair of me
While I'm burnin' time with a certain lie
It's away for today that the curtain slides
But I'm cursed, recursive verses die
But I'm working urgently to
Rise above, woah, to rise above
To rise above, woah, to rise above
I ain't looking for trouble, tryna find some pleasure in my mind
It's an endeavor, I'm severin' every learnin' line
While I'm burnin' time with a certain lie
It's away for today that the curtain slides
But I'm cursed, recursive verses die
But I'm working urgently to
Rise above, woah, to rise above
To rise above, woah, to rise above
So it seems that I sing what I might become
But I don't fear it at all when the mighty run
'Cause I know he don't dissolve when my time has come
And I won't mind it at all 'cause my life is one
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
And I know, and I know, and I know that this is all I get
This is all I get
