#15. Keep Risin'
(Joshua, Jekob, Rachael Washington, D. McKee)
chorus
put yo hands up, turn the beat up
take yo shoes off, throw yo feet up
(what, what, what, what, what) we keep on risin
(what, what, what, what, what) we keep on risin
we been doin this for years and you just now heard of us
four years containin back stabbin music murderers
yeah i was a younga MC, now im older but please
dont think my mind change only time change
and the clock moves quicker as the plot gets thicker now
yeah im a Christian my position paints the picture list
DJ Niques composin beats since he was under age
A true master of the art its time to take the stage
We give props to those who keepin it tight
Big ups to P.O.D. for always rockin it right
In the middle of my cloudy day, drop to my knees and pray
Let me walk in light so my darkness will fade away
Lord, please cleanse me from without and within
Be sure to never let me doubt the evil powers of sin
And work magic,deflectin fiery darts aimin at my heart
I think its time to play my part yo so dig it
Chorus
When i look around all i see is record companies
And MCs goin bankrupt tryna be free
That aint the way that is should be no not hardly
You got me pacin knowin that youre gonna
Try to bring me down im sorry
We wont stop, you ask why cause we cant stop
Hip hop make ya neck pop when the beat drops
(Like whoa) Souljahz dont stop we keep on tryin
(Like whoa) Souljahz dont stop we keep on risin
(Ri-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ise we rise) Throw yo hands in the sky wave em side to side
(Ri-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ise we rise, we rise, we rise)
chorus
yo i keep it righteous while my rhymes ignite this
mic and it might just be the time to recite this
rhyme that i wrote in my room gotta keep rappin
yo i told ya the Souljahz was bound to make it happen
got you askin l aint hear from the Souljahz in a while
didnt they flip they style? Wasnt they just on trial?
Cmon, we just been on the road
From NY to Germany, Hawaii 5.0
So think about it before you criticize my crew
cause when you point your finger at me
three is pointed bach at you
actin like a fool, whether it be jealousy or envy
Remember why we doin this, it aint about the Bentley
It aint about the cars, money, cash or the girls
Its a much bigger picture when you tryna
change tha world
Righteous hip hop, from tha down-low to tha
Sip top, in yo sneakers or flip flops
coppin spit wads
