The Rise - Braxton Cook

Patiently waiting, don’t be mistaking

My kindness for a weakness when it’s not

You know what they say, that hard work pays someday

'Cause we are not the same, despite the many claims

Tried to push me this way, that way, I will never change

Finally feel that buzz, finally comin' up

'Cause we’ve been on the rise

Now has come our time

And I can finally see that luck is only on our side

I look back and recall, wouldn’t change a thing at all

'Cause we’ve been on the rise

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)

Remember all the talks we had?

All the times you made me mad?

The same thing every time, make a nigga lose his mind

At least I know how not to act

But thank God I learned in my life

Good things, they come in due time

And in time, I had to find my place

Try to catch up to me now, I’m in a different place

Finally feel that buzz, finally comin' up

'Cause we’ve been on the rise

Now has come our time

And I can finally see that luck is only on our side

I look back and recall, wouldn’t change a thing at all

'Cause we’ve been on the rise

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
