Rise Songtext
von Supastition

Nikole in the place
Gotta do it for the people, man
Superstition in the place
Lost Colony, we in the place
Wax Reform, we in the place

When I step in the booth, it′s a beautiful occasion
Hands down, people know Supershit is blazing
Sing it loud, let it echo

I got the memory lane nostalgia you can't let go
Taking it back to hip-hop in its prime
But still moving forward towards the finish line
When it′s time for the drums, if you still feeling laid back
Change that, bounce to this ill Nikole track
I know you waited impatiently for my follow-up
Now I'm back speaking my piece, some peeps outta luck
This time around, I don't have to keep it bottled up
Got a little name in the streets, but that′s not enough


I love music, but I′m no fool, is that making sense?
I need paper to pay for the rent, take a hint
Despite of past label events, I'm here now
Dropping beautiful music for y′all year-round

It's been a long time coming, it′s about time that I rise
A new day is here, I'm on cloud nine, rise
Twenty-something odd years, rise
Time to rejoice, scream "Ah yeah" (Ah yeah)
It′s been a long time coming, it's about time that I rise
A new day is here, I'm on cloud nine, rise
Twenty-something odd years, rise
Time to rejoice, scream "Ah yeah" (Ah yeah)

I′ve had a chance to travel across the United States

Seen my records sitting in numerous vinyl crates

I′ve met fans who understand how much time it takes
Especially when you ain't dealing with a lot of papes
I grind 24/7, I might look courageous
But it′s no joke playing manager and booking agent


It's hard work kid, touring small circuits
But I can′t complain 'cause in the end, it′s all worth it
I wake up, thank God, grateful and humble
'Cause when you bein' selfish, he can take it all from you
I recall my nine-to-five, a pitiful spot
And hitting snooze thirty times on my digital clock
I tried hard not to let it irk me
Man, I wouldn′t be upset if I don′t
Have to see another dreaded work day

Too much dealing with attitudes from idiots

But music helped me get rid of it, let's rise, y′all

It's been a long time coming, it′s about time that I rise
A new day is here, I'm on cloud nine, rise
Twenty-something odd years, rise
Time to rejoice, scream "Ah yeah" (Ah yeah)
It′s been a long time coming, it's about time that I rise
A new day is here, I'm on cloud nine, rise
Twenty-something odd years, rise
Time to rejoice, scream "Ah yeah" (Ah yeah)

What about the quiet kid who sat in back of the class
And hated fractions in math, would one day actually have

An opportunity, a chance to be heard worldwide
On other continents, and there is no better compliment
Than knowing people feeling your vibe, now that′s live
A couple years back, I had no motivation or drive

But times change, I surrounded myself with a thorough team
Who want more than respect from their hometown scene
And I beg your pardon, I′ve been rhyming two decades
I'm bred for stardom, it′s about time I get paid
I'm scared for artists who gon′ be
Out of a job when chain letters come
Classic when it's all said and done
And downloaders can′t be pleased
'Cause y'all ain′t really moving units, man, you moving more blank CDs
So everything that I drop gotta be top-notch quality

I′m out y'all, Superstition from the Lost Colony

It′s been a long time coming, it's about time that I rise
A new day is here, I′m on cloud nine, rise
Twenty-something odd years, rise
Time to rejoice, scream "Ah yeah" (Ah yeah)
It's been a long time coming, it′s about time that I rise
A new day is here, I'm on cloud nine, rise
Twenty-something odd years, rise
Time to rejoice, scream "Ah yeah" (Ah yeah)

We moving in the right direction
There's no other place but up, Nikole, what up?
We, we moving in the right direction
There′s no other place but up, Nikole, what up?
I said we moving, let′s rise, rise
Said we moving, let's rise, let′s rise
Said we moving, let's rise, let′s rise
Let's rise, let′s rise
