RISE

[Intro: Ionika & MATCHA]
Ayo Roy, you wanna take five for a bit man?

Nah, I got this

[Verse 1: MATCHA]
Yo, no rest for professionals
Not the best? Not acceptable
Get glasses for this spectacle
Cause I’m 'boutta roll loud like the festival

Flip the game like Othello, warm it up like methanol
Mobile weapon, I’m a technical
Keep track of the death toll
Cause I’m killing bad rap, but staying ethical? Incredible!

My momentum is unstoppable
Go hard for my goals but stay honorable
I’ll burn a bridge, cut a string, lock a door
I turned my ledge into my wings now watch me soar

Finesse this shit like I’m the fuckin' shit
Dyrdek cause I’m ridiculous
Flyin' high like I’m Icarus
And if I die, then y’all drink to this

And even when life is testing me, all I’m feeling is ecstasy
My enemies are right next to me, and they feeling it mentally
My complexities givin' them complexes, and destiny textin' me sayin' that like a sport, soon my tour life gonna be X the C
Too much intensity, I’m the next to beat
I don’t accept defeat, until I rest in peace
Keep the city high with my rhythm
Cooking up vibes, fuckin' with 'em

Not helpless and hating, or waiting
Not trapped in a situation, like a buffet I’ll help myself
Graph my progress, cause Imma Excel!

Cause I’m breakin' barriers while I’m breakin' records
Not making errors, I got stakes and pressure
Wake America and slay the shepards
Turning fakes to spare parts like my name is Deckard

[Pre-Chorus]
Fight for all my brothers and sisters
Fight until my knuckles are blistered
Fight until I fuck up the system
To all my worries yeah I kiss 'em goodbye
And just tell 'em that

[Chorus: MATCHA & Ionika]
You’re the one tonight
You’re the one tonight
Got me thinking I’m alright
Got me thinking my whole life
Got me thinking for you Imma fight, Imma fight

[Verse 2: MATCHA]
This that make or break
Wanna live my dream, so I stay awake
Too many blessings can’t take away
Devil can’t lead my faith astray

Yeah I bring it all if you ride with me
Finna learn to use my eyes to see
I sing for y’all, don’t cry for me
Cause we gon' be what we gotta be

[Bridge]
Yo I promise that I got us, no fucking around with commas
Yeah, I’m bombing all my old sins like they Gomorra and Soddom
I’m making changes like my name is Obama
Findin' peace inside my mind, Dalai Lama
My problems came when I put rage in the bottle
It’s time to release, let it drive for a while

A fuckin' chain can’t hold me down
Mind ready to fire, I just load the rounds
When the train of thought comes, I go to town
If you didn’t know, y'all know me now

Keep my fist up, cause I'm gold and proud
Gotta risk it, 'til I fill a hole in the ground
Lift it up, 140 pounds
So listen up, my soul’s in the sound

Fuck an insecurity, inferiority
Purity's what we all want, but it’s sure to be
Foreign to me, our minds are all quarantined
Sometimes there’s no glory to see
It’s a revelation, no fallacies
You gotta separate from your old mentality
R.I.P. fatality, and if you’re lost tonight then you can rally to me and sing:

[Chorus: MATCHA & Ionika]
You’re the one tonight
You’re the one tonight
Got me thinking I’m alright
Got me thinking my whole life
Got me thinking for you Imma fight, Imma fight
Imma fight, Imma fight
Imma fight, Imma fight
Imma fight

You’re the one tonight
You’re the one tonight
Got me thinking I’m okay
Got me thinking 'bout more days
Got me thinking for you Imma fight
Imma fight, Imma fight
Imma fight, Imma fight
Imma fight

[Verse 3: MATCHA]
I got a policy to keep my promises
Fuck a prophecy, don’t trust processes
My own properties will keep me prospering
Are you lost? It’s called being fucking competent

I cut off con artists whose only content is on comment threads
It’s a common thread, that connects commoners like collagen
Creative mind, I drew the lines y’all color in

Keep my eyeball on my future, 'til I'm ballin with Future
And Imma bleed on the way, good thing I know how to suture
I’m too sure, cause if I wasn’t, yo I would’ve stayed neutral
And to all those who are fighting with me tonight, I salute ya

I’m channeling Moses
I’m tearing down idols
This is my arrival, I shoot for the title
My wave is a tidal, I'm 99 cent and you just a trial phase
I’m the boss at the final stage
Yeah, the top is my rightful place
Spittin' heat like a dragon, settin' life ablaze
Adrenaline pumped up from my primal rage

My old way was to say that "It’s okay"
Yeah, effort was the way to measure
But I found my center, I cut that tether
Sever, chooser from the beggar
Treat my pressure like pleasure

You know I started making music so I could slay demons?
Cause they always used to reign free and tame me
To spread the message round the world is what the fame means
No running from problems, keep my name clean
My old enemy was me, but now we on the same team
Come to do it and hear the fans scream
Always say "Fuck the mainstream" cause got our own path making days outta daydreams
I'm hot like asphalt on a sunny day turn the rain to steam
Who burned the game up send the blame to me
Colonel Roy in the building Imma flame the scene

My energy’s aligned
I push against my limit and that’s why they call it a grind
I’m gonna give you all peace of mind, by giving you a piece of mine
All I want is to be sublime and be the sign that’s everything’s gon' be all fine but still me inside, no more seek and hide
Best believe the hype, no more dreaming pipe, I feel free tonight

No more dark days, wake up in the morning, my eyes been brightened
My senses heightened, yeah I hear the birds and I see the horizon
Y’all better promise me that your seat belts are tightened
Cause I’m driving hard 'til y'all remember me like the Titans
Sing it out!

[Chorus: MATCHA & Ionika]
You’re the one tonight
You’re the one tonight
Got me thinking I’m alright
Got me thinking my whole life
Got me thinking for you Imma fight, Imma fight
Imma fight, Imma fight
Imma fight, Imma fight
Imma fight

You’re the one tonight
You’re the one tonight
Got me thinking I’m okay
Got me thinking 'bout more days
Got me thinking for you Imma fight
Imma fight, Imma fight
Imma fight, Imma fight
Imma fight
