[Intro]
Sky high (uh-uh), until I rise, yeah, yeah
Sky high, sky high, yeah, sky high
Sky high
[Verse 1]
Thank God I was destined and blessed to be cool
Just smiling in the mirror like, "Yes, he's you" (Yes, he's you)
Full of myself, so spirited
It's the black sheep that made it and it raised him so fearless
Raised him with gifts and the gab to paint pictures
With wide range experience to relate to niggas
Was raised by women, so I can relate to women
Raised by Hip Hop culture, I relate to the rhythm, dig it
I was raised by the system
Raped and pimped by the same system, so he got a little pimping in 'em
Tax him when he made it, hit em again when he spinning it
Got me raising hell, I can barely pay attention here
Landlord said he gotta raise the rent again
Now we raise the issues, how we gonna raise the dividends?
Since I was raised a little different
There's gotta be a way to rise outside of what was given here
Jumpshot couldn't score a scholarship to get 'em there
Plus, I couldn't pump rock on my block 'cause junkies wasn't living there
With eyebrows raised, the lights start to flicker
I'm the bomb with rhyming, I can rhyme to niggas here, yeah
Then my face starts grinning
And Tommy the Clown would be so proud the way I raise figures
The way he raise figures, creative intervention
Prescribed with desire to inspire and raise children
[Hook]
We shooting up like it's boy in the range
Jump up like the young LeBron, time to rise, yeah
NC, we the first in flight
So we rise (rise), so we rise (rise) sky high, baby
We make something outta nothing
And raise up outta conditions to play the cards we was given
(My niggas)
Yeah, we the first in flight
So we rise (rise), so we rise sky high
[Verse 2]
The J-League name is growing like in puberty
Really nothing new to me
Kinda like in politics, trying to give admonishment
Leaders of the new-new, we got it just by following
Since we did the knowledge here, we have a bond with followers
Seeing through the eyes of all the eyes that spill where I've been
Circling through time and time again on some timeless iddish
And so we rise again
Time and time again, so we rise (so we rise)
And so we rise
[Hook]
We shooting up like it's boy in the range
Jump up like the young LeBron, time to rise, yeah
NC, we the first in flight
So we rise (rise), so we rise (rise) sky high, baby
We make something outta nothing
And raise up outta conditions to play the cards we was given
(My niggas)
Yeah, we the first in flight
So we rise (rise), so we rise sky high
[Verse 3]
Coming up I had to hustle
Learned how to work the smartest instead of working the hardest
Amongst the haters, they're so lethargic
Trying to talk you outta your zone and they approach your target, yep!
But Biggie told me bad boys move in silence
Now this to accomplish my goals, I move quiet
Move with it, so get moved on children or full riot
J League and all my soldiers running with me for relief
It's bigger than a figure of speech
You see, relief will bring the figures to me
Figuratively, till we stack it with a passion
Trap and stay active for the grasp of it
Then slip in acrobatic for some massive iddish
To think it started from a vision can you fathom it
Many daydream it, they can see it, can you handle it?
Life is a series of gambles, so take risks
You can be it if you see it, bleed it if you believe it
So be it
[Hook]
We shooting up like it's boy in the range
Jump up like the young LeBron, time to rise, yeah
NC, we the first in flight
So we rise (rise), so we rise (rise) sky high, baby
We make something outta nothing
And raise up outta conditions to play the cards we was given
(My niggas)
Yeah, we the first in flight
So we rise (rise), so we rise sky high
