Risen

Lately, I’ve been living with this pain and I don’t know where to go next
Save me, because I feel like I’m going under and there’s no one there to pull me
It’s crazy, feeling all the pressure, they don’t even know, I’ll give you context
Safely, been falling under trees not knowing they are dead trees
All they do is walk around and stress that they are care-free
All I do is walk around and care if they’re not stress-free
Because no one’s cared lately
Anxious, sitting on an edge but all I want is to be let be
If you don’t care, don’t respond and I’ll be let breathe
Sucking in that air like I was in a competition since I was thirteen
But I’ve been dwelling in the dark, that’s the only place I had been
Scared of the times I wasn’t put to the sword, I was put to the belt
Now the tables have turned and I reflect on the cards I was dealt, yeah


Feeling alone in this prison (save me)
Waiting for the day I wasn’t done, I was driven
The day I wasn’t down but I had risen (to the top)
Rise to the top, fuck the system
Yeah, fuck the system
I had risen


Risen like a phoenix from the ashes
Done with all these lies, quit capping
Because in those days I was trapping but now I’m overlapping
Yeah, these dead trees are no longer sapping
(Overlapping, yeah)
Done with all the sadness, I’m re-emerging
You don’t know the time it took to get me surging
Yeah, late nights I was looking at people, I was purging
Sick of the silence but I would cry, accept no help and accept none of this guidance, yeah
Now I’m pulling the strings, thought for better things
Gonna work hard till’ I’m a king
Not a prince, lets not go crazy
Burning, steaming out and ain’t no one gon’ daze me
Redemption on my mind, ain’t no one gon’ cage me
You know, I don’t even need no one to save me
(Damn this shit crazy)


Feeling alone in this prison (save me)
Waiting for the day I wasn’t done, I was driven
The day I wasn’t down but I had risen (to the top)
Rise to the top, fuck the system
Feeling alone in this prison (no saving)
Waiting for the day I wasn’t done, I was driven
The day I wasn’t down but I had risen (to the top)
Rise to the top, fuck the system
Yeah, fuck the system
I had risen
Yeah, I’ve risen
