We're gon live it right Not jus talk it but walk it Cause we're gon live for Christ We're gon hold it down Stone cold hold your ground All my soldiers RISE
[Chorus] We all wanna rise We surely wanna fly Y'all know we wanna try to live it up until we die You know we gon' expire But before it is ya time You
Ville, Killer Mike In the motherfucking building nigga Y'all already know, Killa kill putting it down New South Movement, mo'fucker New South Movement
purchasing the music I'm like the works of a Judas Or does it when I hurt my movement While crooked lawyers gamble at the foot of my cross My spirit
and hide From the rising tide I won't go underground I won't compromise What the world denies I won't go underground And I'm not ashamed Of the cross
(throw cash) Smoke the blue green (call it Joe Cash) Fake thugs (hold ass) You be the next rapper (callin' Onas) Wanna measure my size? I rise above
I'm trying to rhyme But so many fascinated with this life of crime, hah Look, I'm dying to be different, down to die to make a difference Music for the movement
up in ya church to smack crosses You lack rawness, you lack passion You couldn't make it through war without rations You just a homosexual; I stick the gay rights movement
I am George W. Bush and you best not cross my path Because now I have the backing and you're going to feel my wrath The Christian right adore me because

the wide eyed dry grays and supplied fiery colossus Well I am a hostage guiding yet pushed beneath the crazes climate Hiding behind the levy while the stubborn rivers rise
bed The miracle happening here on this Earth Was perceived as a glorious new Virgin Birth From the moment in time that baby was born The sun did now rise
Earth Was perceived as a glorious new Virgin Birth From the moment in time that baby was born The sun did now rise on a new Crimson dawn And the creature
with good people, you couldn't pop a pennies We in this thing together, no weather's gonna' stop this Trains left their station and breakin's not an option Times gettin' difficult cause' people tryin' to cross
he gave me It's so cold here deep beneath the lapping water... The water The water My love Head against his shoulder, 'cross
and hide from the rising tide, I won't go underground I won't compromise what the world denies, I won't go underground And I'm not ashamed of the Cross
know? What did you care? Another token tantrum to cover up the fear. What did you know? What did you care? Another institution, another cross to bear
