Hook:
(2x) I'ma make this toast
But I know
That I still got a long way to go, so
I'ma keep it low man
They don't need to know
How a nigga move
Where a nigga go
On My rise
Aint no GPS
Don't say more say less
You might need vest
On my rise
I just made a mess
There's brains all on my chest
Can't you smell the flesh?
On my rise
Verse:
Keep it confidential from the demons
You know that they always be scheming
Honestly what the f**ks their reason
Honestly once we f**king see them
We can see that they look like us
We made all that f**ck shit up
And all it does it suckitdy suck
And our attention keeps busting them nuts
And now you low energy
You're your own enemy
To get the cash
Destroy your own entity
Until you realize that you are the creator
You cannot rise
Hook:
(2x) I'ma make this toast
But I know
That I still got a long way to go, so
I'ma keep it low man
They don't need to know
How a nigga move
Where a nigga go
On My rise
Aint no GPS
Don't say more say less
You might need vest
On my rise
I just made a mess
There's brains all on my chest
Can't you smell the flesh?
On my rise

The way that we put our names on these fuck up deals
Its the way saying that n**a got signed feel

So don't you let it
The thing about it, it's poetic
And energetic
It'll seep you in

You'll never leave again

Hook:
(2x) Peace, War
I know that life should live
But what about revenge
For all my people dead
Peace, War
I don't understand
What am I to do
With this gun that's in my hand
Verse:
Look me in my eyes
While you tell those lies
I prefer deception as the main dish
Not the side
All my folk got ride
Thats just how we raised
look lil ho* don't try it
Cuz you won't just grazed
This ain't just get paid
We trynna elevate
But also relocate
To a new estate
I know you want me dead
Or working for your cause
But no price on my head
Will place me in your jaws
Before you lay me down to sleep
Then I woke up a boss
I stumble but don't fall
Too many paid the cause
My people ended up loss
And now we tryna choose
Which way we should live
Which way we should move
Hook:
(2x) Peace, War
I know that life should live
But what about revenge
For all my people dead
Peace, War
I don't understand
What am I to do
With this gun that's in my hand
Vocal:
There's a war going on inside of me, and the same war is going on inside of you. Inside of all of us. The war is between to wolves; one wolf full of peace, patience, and love, the other wolf is impulsive. anger, and action. Which wolf will when you say. The one you feed.

Hook:
(4x) Break it down
Break it, break it down
We got take you to the start
Yeah way back to the start
If you wanna catch a body then you got hit the heart
Ni**as claim to want to change, but they never really start
If you tryna slay a demon gotta break that ho* in parts
Break it
Verse1 (Pharaoh Lum):
Hood full of lost souls
N**as don't play like the park closed
Just pray there's no shots like the bar closed
Never did coke a day, but he still hard nose
His youngins need to eat?
He'll have you spitting out them partials
Survival of the fittest
Man its kill or be killed
Our mental ain't just messed up
Man we mentally ill
And since ya'll like popping zannies
here's some shit ya'll can feel
To unplug from your matrix
You must download this pill, real
Hook:

Verse2 (Clara Kent):
City full of fake ho*s
with no soul
They think they running game though
Unfortunate events for the famous
Narcissism wins with the lamest
Shallow minds be dangerous
The beauty and appeal keep em fiendin
Put your sex on the shelf
So easy to sell
Knowledge is your power
But it ain't paying bills
The end of the day
No validation can heal
The hollow parts of your heart nobody can feel
Ya breaking down
Hook:
(4x) Break it down
Break it, break it down
We got take you to the start
Yeah way back to the start
If you wanna catch a body then you got hit the heart

If you tryna slay a demon gotta break that ho* in parts

Hook:
(2x) I been running through the rain
Trudging through the pain
Head in the game
Still ain't nothing change
When they say I got that flame
Gassing up my tank
My resolve the same
Still ain't nothing change
Verse:
If there's one thing that I know fosho
It's that stars don't ask for permission for their right to glow
I gotta, I need to, follow my own soul
What I can accomplish in my life you could never show
You'll never know just what it take for my light to shine
You use your words and all your verbs, but can't quite define
What the magnificent creator had inside her mind
When she created me
Waste your time tryna hate on me
Don't you wait on me, cuz I been...
Hook:
(4x) I been running through the rain
Trudging through the pain
Head in the game
Still ain't nothing change
When they say I got that flame
Gassing up my tank
My resolve the same
Still ain't nothing change

Inside You

Hook:
Running from a place inside of you
Take another one to hide from you
Don't like the train of thoughts when you come down
Running from a place inside of you
Verse1:
16 on his way to being a fiend
But honestly at the time it was something we couldn't dream
We was copin up tree
Posted tryna get high
Beefing with some lil n**as man
We was tryna survive
Then my homie caught a case
Luckily ducked the time
The judge gave hime housey (house arrest) for 365
My niggas almost died
Stop taking care of himself
We was always there
Us plus his mama nobody else
As soon as he got off his mom just f**king died
My n**a found out, threw up and started to cry
Insurance came through and they presented the check
How the f**k is that suppose to help him cope with her death
Whats next?
Hook:
Running from a place inside of you
Take another one to hide from you
Don't like the train of thoughts when you come down
Running from a place inside of you
Verse2:
Tryna stay distracted my homie turned up the juggs
Copin pounds of the smoke
But he smoked up more then he jugged
We tried to get through
But in his sorrow his was lost
None of us knew what it was like to live without our moms
I focused on school and sports and lost connection
My homie keep f**king on different girls no protection
Some girls burnt him up
And he burnt girls too
I got accepted down Atlanta to college I had to move
A couple years later Moose hit me up with the scoop
Some info on our mans and it couldn't be true
Our ni**a Black busted a snap and what'll ya know
It was our boy across town shooting brown sniffing blow
Oh no!
Hook:
Running from a place inside of you
Take another one to hide from you
Don't like the train of thoughts when you come down
Running from a place inside of you
Vocal: One thing I learned in my 27 years, never let your guilt and your fear run your mind, your actions, and your heart. It's time to cleanse n**a.

(2x) We bout to cleanse and be free of that shit
We bout to cleanse and be free of that shit
We bout to cleanse and be free of that shit
We bout to cleanse and be free
Don't, you, let, pain, take, hold, and, grow!
Verse1:
We often keep our demons trapped inside
Praying, they dissipate while knowing that a lie
Meanwhile they
Ferment and grow until they multiply
Yo if ya, low in self hate they got a nice supply
Because the feeling of the pain it can get ya high
Have you itching scratching fiendin for the next ride
That why
some people, while their living in strife, get to supporting a vice
Till it puts a halt in their life, ya digg me?
We gotta cut the giant right at the knees
And start healing all the trauma that's in-lodged in our genes.
But yo
I ain't come to this mothf**ka to preach
Cuz just like you I came in here to get clean
So take ya sage
And just wave it round
Go ahead just wave round
Grab the stereo knob turn up the sound
Go ahead and turn up the sound
We bout to..
(2x) Cleanse and be free of that shit
We bout to cleanse and be free of that shit
We bout to cleanse and be free of that shit
We bout to cleanse and be free
Don't, you, let, pain, take, hold, and, grow!
Verse2:
All my people put your mother**kin hands up
All my people in this mothaf**ka stand up
This the mothaf**kin god-body anthem
This the how to get your life back and some
First you gotta hold your attention for ransom
Set ground rules on when anything else has some
Cuz the more you spend it
You forget your passion
Put all those things first you ended up the last one
Right behind your insecurities
Your instagram feed
If you wanna grow my ni**a plant the seed
But for real
I ain't come in here to preach
Cuz just like you I came in here to get clean
So take ya sage
And just wave it round
Go ahead just wave round
Grab the stereo knob and turn up the sound
Go ahead turn up the sound
We bout to..
(2x) Cleanse and be free of that shit
We bout to cleanse and be free of that shit
We bout to cleanse and be free of that shit
We bout to cleanse and be free
Don't, you, let, pain, take, hold, and, grow!
