Desmond – Rise Up lyrics
[Verse 1]
Grandma said the devil will give me a job if I’m idle
So don’t be surprised if I have a gun instead of a bible
There is nothing on the streets for me but trouble
I don't want to go to jail and be in that struggle

[Chorus]
Every time I beat a drum I feel like I want to rise up
(And) everytime I get on stage I feel like I want to rise up
Every time I start to dance I want to rise up
I’m going to wise up and rise up, use my talent to rise up.

[Verse 2]
Sometimes workin hard is like a waste of time
Like Grandma said wastin time is really a crime
So I'm gonna work hard and put in my hours, oh yeah
So I get better and quiet all the naysayers

[Bridge]
I just want to get/wake up every morning and be like those I admire
I will put my heart into my playing my song so I can inspire
I just need a hand to achieve my heart’s desire
I need a teacher, a mentor, someone to push me higher
