Reason I Rise (feat. C​.​B. News, Jo Blunt)

from The Gospel is FREE 2 by Praverb the Wyse

/

about

Sixth track of The Gospel Is Free 2 and it is produced by Teddy Roxpin. This track shows appreciation to a higher authority for being able to rise everyday (something that many of us take for granted).

lyrics

Verse 1: (Praverb the Wyse)
This is cole in your eye, from closed eyes
Ten percent withheld because you owe tithes
But me, I hold mine, I’m living in debt
Too much death, I wonder if I’m reliving 09’//
This is scratch off tickets, lottery picks
Another broken ankle for that lottery pick
Dreaming big, one day I gotta be rich
Snap back to reality, my pockets got lint//
This is noodles, instead of spaghetti
Birthday parties with nothing but confetti
No cake, outside no shine just snowflakes
W-2’s sent late saved by a post date//
This is food banks feeding the homeless
A cheating husband looking to find where home is
This is an unemployed rapper who’s passion
revolves around finding where the microphone is//

[Chorus] 2x
There’s a reason I rise, a reason I wake
I look to the sky and give thanks for the day
I am glad that I’m alive, I make some mistakes
I’m lost but somehow I will find my way

Verse 2: (CB News)
Am I dreaming/hearing fans screaming
To keep going, give me a reason
Many do fall/ I don’t live in that season
Pull my pants up, let’s make it even//
I was blind to the ways of the world/had to wake up
Had homies try they're hand, and they gave up
Had to work that job and even took a pay cut
Writing rhymes, trying to live out my destiny//
Cooked a full course meal, no recipe
Did some bad things and it almost got the best of me
If I did right, it would be something left for me
We walk a thin line between love and evil//
Talk a good game but you fucking the people
My 9 to 5 just ain’t for me
Will my girl stand there and wait for me
The reason i rise, maybe this the way for me//

[Chorus] 2x
There’s a reason I rise, a reason I wake
I look to the sky and give thanks for the day
I am glad that I’m alive, I make some mistakes
I’m lost but somehow I will find my way

Verse 3: (Jo Blunt)
The reason i rise is clear as the skies
Wit stars in your eyes and bars for the vibes
All of our lives have purpose learn that
Keep it moving forward don’t turn back//
J worm glad intern mob robb
Dangerous spit lyrics hot coal heads bob
Heads nod when you ask; is this nice?
Got a mic jones but I don’t say it twice//
Ain’t playing dice but im really on a roll
Shout to Praverb cause the homie got soul
This is a stroll in the park feeling breeze
Yes we will rise much like trees//
Or rather seeds with deeds and dreams
The pen is a monster that bleeds and screams
This is for our kids who know hip hop lives
Whose passion is finding where the microphone is//

[Chorus] 2x
There’s a reason I rise, a reason I wake
I look to the sky and give thanks for the day
I am glad that I’m alive, I make some mistakes
I’m lost but somehow I will find my way
