Rising Up (feat. Wale & Chrisette Michele)

Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying

Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying

I walked up and asked what's wrong

She told me that the radio's been playing the same song all day long

So I told her I got something you've been waiting for

I got something you've been waiting for

Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying, I walked up and asked what's wrong

She told me that the radio's been playing the same song all day long

So get your glass lift up in the toast position

We gettin' paper like John Travolta get it

'Cause we focused with it, we supposed to get it

You know me and my whole squad, we so committed

We not the kids coolin' out on the sofa wit it

We about to dominate the globe like Oprah did it

We gettin' paper like John Travolta, ****

Well I'm a downtown shooter who that

The crown ruler is back

He congruent to the shape of a mack

Look how I do it, yo I'm takin' you back

This how you rise down to the foundation how sacred is that

I'm from the number one place on the map

The generational gap with yet another sensational track

And we don't stress for nothing I just press the button

It's as simple as just makin' it happen

To all the frauds stop fakin' relax

And to the broads if you cakin'

Then clap then shake it without breakin' you back

I know the world been waitin' for that

You been aching for that

'Cause what they been playin' on the station is wack

And I'm a legend in the flesh that dress to impress

The best is that which I accept and nothing less

My stacks is grotesque, my squad so fresh

You know it's Black Thought and your boy the Bro Quest, but

Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying

I walked up and asked what's wrong

She told me that the radio's been playing the same song all day long

So get your glass lift up in the toast position

We gettin' paper like John Travolta get it

'Cause we focused with it, we supposed to get it

You know me and my whole squad, we so committed

We not the kids coolin' out on the sofa wit it

We about to dominate the globe like Oprah did it

We gettin' paper like John Travolta, ****

Hip Hop ain't dead 'cause the pulse is in us

I go the Everclear flow they mimosa with it

We are the hope of the culture they 'posed to listen

And I'm 'posed to pivot like I'm a forward in the league, I'm Oden with it

Yet don't owe them **** nothin' but potent lyrics

But if you ain't gotta dance they revoke your spinnin'

So good rappers ain't eating they Olsen twining

But I'm so committed, they have grown familiar

With the counterfeit hitters they so, so with it but they a Sosa with it

They Mark McGuire with the writin' I'm Rodriguez

On the road to riches this is the fork I'm hittin'

This is the trial and error era no co-defendant

I push the seed every time like I'm Cody with it

I said they one hit wonders pneumonia to us

I don't know you ****, hit the road, my ****

Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying

I walked up and asked what's wrong

She told me that the radio's been playing the same song all day long

So get your glass lift up in the toast position

We gettin' paper like John Travolta get it

'Cause we focused with it, we supposed to get it

You know me and my whole squad, we so committed

We not the kids coolin' out on the sofa with it

We about to dominate the globe like Oprah did it

We gettin' paper like John Travolta, ****

Where my grimey figures at? Look lively addressing the captain

Show me where your first impression is at

And where you dedication to the true profession is at

How you laugh, answer me, what kind of question is that?

I'll show you where my rare essence is at the adolescence of rap

The real muscle in the message of that

My name trouble i'm blessin' to rap

And you can check stats 'cause worldwide they attesting to that

So, ****, listen you can probably learn a lesson perhaps

I'm like Bobby DeNiro Joe Pesc and them cats

Am I the unsung hero, oh yes if you asking, anybody that's away of the classics

They tell you I'm a legend in the flesh that dress to impress

The best is that which I accept and nothing less

My stacks is grotesque my squad so fresh

You know it's Black Thought and your boy the Bro Quest, but

Yesterday I saw a B-girl crying

I walked up and asked what's wrong

She told me that the radio's been playing the same song all day long

So get your glass lift up in the toast position

We gettin' paper like John Travolta get it

'Cause we focused with it, we supposed to get it

You know me and my whole squad, we so committed

We not the kids coolin' out on the sofa wit it

We about to dominate the globe like Oprah did it

So let's go
