(合)
I am not throwing my shot
Hey yo I'm just like my country I'm young scrappy and hungry
And I'm not throwing my shot
Everybody saying — whoa whoa whoa — (切)进人.
come let's go! Rise up
when you're living on your knees you rise up
Tell your brother that he's gotta rise up
Tell your sister that she's gotta rise up
when are these colonies gonna rise up ×4
(切主)I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory
When is it gonna get me
In my sleep Seven feet ahead of me
If I see it comin' do I run or do I let it be
