Cypress Hill — Rise Up

[Speaker] Since the Watts riot of 1965 has the city seemed so out of control. Los Angeles is still on the edge [B-Real] Living in the big city, the American dream Is far roaming in the streets of greed Everywhere I turn I'm on a mission for more But I ain't selling my soul With the dope there's no girl I'm on a one way box to the top Hitting the strip but got a sound that would rally the block I'm in the fast lane and I won't stop You ain't nothing but talk You couldn't hang on the rope by ball [Sen Dog] This life that I live, it ain't for the weak I'm a roddy ass gangster that came off the street I'm trying to keep the peace, but I gotta keep my peace Got these drunk police want me all rappy And I'm searching for the higher ground I want my head in the sky So high that I can't come down Leave your lies in every town across the nation 'Cause you can never stop to play [Hook] Gotta Rise up (to the top, to the top) Can't stop (How high can you get?) Gotta rise up (to the top, to the top) Can't stop (How high can you get?) 'Cause what goes up must come down So we gotta rise up to the higher ground Rise up (Rise up) Rise Up (Rise Up) Rise Up (Rise Up) How high can you get? [B-Real] Cruising in the drop Chevy Got my foot on the floor I'm hitting switches and my brain is heavy You wanna look inside and see who's crossing the brine Curiosity is killing you with stick in the prime I get high from the brim in the set Never gripping the script But all you haters couldn't hold my dick Don't need a clip for my nine is straight You should leave it alone And check your toe 'cause my line will spit [Sen Dog] This right here's as high as it gets Somebody likes the split the hell Cause you stepped on the sex But guess who will show you, you gotta pass the check Got my clock on deck and my custom vest streets You came, for me I'm the best And you can keep the dress 'Cause I'm smoke at the less Turn a step back I'm tired of getting pushed [Hook] Gotta rise up to the top (to the top) Can't stop (How high can you get?) Gotta rise up to the top (to the top) Can't stop (How high can you get?) 'Cause what goes up must come down So we gotta rise up to the Higher ground Rise up (rise up) Rise up (rise up) Rise up (rise up) How high can you get? [Sen Dog] I go psycho, crazy Michael Myers I set the stage on fire, go higher 'Cause when my name's on the flyer There's so much more to make the whole city rise This defines a man to get the whole world lifted One man trying to make a land with a mission There's no way you can stand in this position You can't take the heat, get the fuck up out the kitchen [B-Real] Born with the will to hustle, see we hittin' the floor You'll never stop it, you ain't got the muscle We're on the world tour, homeboy, this is for sure We got a tour, blow the stage up, we out the door Sometimes we all need an escape, so when we fall off track You get your mind while we make a stack I made a pack with a crew on the hill We continue to build with all the people who believe their bill [Hook] We gotta rise up (to the top, to the top) Can't stop (How high can you get?) Gotta rise up (to the top, to the top) Can't stop (How high can you get?) 'Cause what goes up must come down So we gotta rise up to the higher ground Rise up (rise up) Rise up (rise up) Rise up (rise up) How high can you get?
