Strive Till I Rise (Lyrics) –Genesis Be Featuring Auzriel

First Verse:

Some become rich and famous, Some of us die nameless,
Some of us achieve success and power at different ages,
Some hate to see the rise of others, some despise their brother,
Some of us still fight for freedom even though were feeling smother,
Dodging the fake and phony, can often make it lonely,
over-look the main the main component, Searchin for that faithful moment,
And I can’t pretend… I’ve lost so many friends,
I’m staring at the world through broken lense, (broken lense)

Bridge:

I’m grindin’ everyday,
They be getting in my way,
Just because I’m getting paid,
B****s got something to say,
It might be cause I’m working so hard,
Try me and you wouldn’t get far,
Cause I been there, done that, seen it all before.
You ain’t doin nothing new. (You ain’t doin nothing new)

Chorus:

If I just keep striving for the top. Ima get there, Ima Ima get there
And If I just keep striving for the top. Ima get there, Ima Ima get there
Cause everybody know, when its time to put on the show,
You gotta let em know before your time is over.
Cause when the lights turn low, then its your time go.


Second Verse:

Some of us love our daughters, some of us get molested,
Some of us sell crack and cocaine and never get arrested,
Some of us making moves, that others wish that they can do
Some of our plates are full, while others barely make it through
And I can’t believe every time I walk the block
Either some robbed, Some kid got lost, Or some young brotha shot,
And I can’t relate when they conversate,
Bout poppin bottles and pushin weight
I’m buying stock, and im raise the stakes,
They telling me it’s time to take it

Bridge:

I’m grindin’ everyday,
They be getting in my way,
Just because I’m getting paid,
B****s got something to say,
It might be cause I’m working so hard,
Try me and you wouldn’t get far,
Cause I been there, done that, seen it all before.
You ain’t doin nothing new. (You ain’t doin nothing new)

Chorus:

If I just keep striving for the top. Ima get there, Ima Ima get there
And If I just keep striving for the top. Ima get there, Ima Ima get there
Cause everybody know, when its time to put on the show,
You gotta let em know before your time is over.
Cause when the lights turn low, then its your time go.


3rd Verse (Extended Bridge)

See I came and I conquered,
And I’m not backing down with my feet on the ground,
I stand so tall I can see past the clouds,
Anybody wanna come step to me,
Please get out my way, cause I’m going for first place.

Chorus:

If I just keep striving for the top. Ima get there, Ima Ima get there
And If I just keep striving for the top. Ima get there, Ima Ima get there
Cause everybody know, when its time to put on the show,
You gotta let em know before your time is over.
Cause when the lights turn low, then its your time go.
