lyrics

11. RISE Getting older everyday
and we still doing what we like/
All you soldiers wanna play but
chill we aint trying to fight/ We
the full moon rising over these
new hampshire skies/ We struggle
everyday but it’s the reason we
rise/ I’m always thinking about
the days that passed/ I’m always
feeling like these ways won’t last/
but something stuck from the mid
90’s in the backwoods towns/
808 sounds and those bubble
goose downs/ that’s my childhood,
I always want to get back/ up to
no good, what could be better
than that? now we grown up, worn
tough, got life stuff, no blunt puffs/
we’ve battled enough we wanna
call old age’s bluff/ I made it to
33, had a million opportunities/
but couldn’t make it work how
i thought it should be/ always
ended up short, goals half met/
probably shoulda played sports,
bled more than sweat/ lead more
than set, trends and fires alike/
but regardless of how i kicked a
ball i’m nice on the mic/ and in
spite of my examples, I ain’t trying
to settle/ cause this the only thing
gonna take me to that next level/
(chorus)
Getting older everyday and we still
doing what we like/ All you soldiers
wanna play but chill we aint trying
to fight/ We the full moon rising
over these new hampshire skies/
We struggle everyday but it’s the
reason we rise/ Look in the mirror
try to get yourself right/ you a
crook half way between a bark
and a bite/ look look look they
done shooting but you aint in their
sites/ crew deep like a cypher on a
saturday night/
I want to play every venue on the
road/ I wanna knock these rookies
out cold/ romantic, and simplistic,
but not really realistic/ when you
figure all the failed attempts I
had to get it/ we mighta seen our
moment, i’m pretty sure i missed
it/ all the while music’s on the pole
stripping for gimmicks/ but never
no mind, it can’t be bigger than
right here/ a minute is a lifetime
when you there ain’t nothing to
fear/ no matter what this sells, i’ve
got a vision of self/ My pain is my
experience, I feed off the wealth/
I look forward to the future when
a kid stumbles on this/ and loves
the retro sound and the echo in
the chorus/ I gave it all i could and
I couldn’t watch the music starve/
cause my fire got nothing do with
being a falling star/ I’ll shoot a
catch 22, I’ll keep on pushing it
through/ I’ll keep on doing what I
do, that’s making music for you/
(chorus)
